C'mon, dude, that's a little over-the-top rhetoric. Paul isn't a Conservative, he is a Libertarian, as much as he can be as a sitting Republican.
For example, I heard that he refuses to accept $ for retirement that his fellow Members gladly accept (I can't remember the name of the program, although I know he has called it a "scheme")...the Constitution says that Members can get paid for their services, but once they are out of office they're not providing a service anymore & are therefore not allowed to take taxpayer's $.
From what I've been able to learn about him, he is probably one of the most pro-life Members of Congress as well...& after delivering 4,000 babies, I can understand why.
Who cares if he's a conservative or a libertarian? He's a CONSTITUTIONIST plain & simple...& if he has to lower his standards (IMO) & join the GOP in order to be elected into Office, then more power to him!
His strict constitutionalism is why he's despised so much by the upper echelons of the GOP Establishment I'm sure...they always try to find someone else to run against him come Primary time, don't they? I remember Newt Gingrich coming to Mr. Paul's district to find someone else to unseat him, but apparently his constituents seem to love him because they keep re-electing him time after time.
