The average American voter who has only a passing familiarity with Ron Paul, will know him only as the Republican who agrees with defunding the troops.

The voters that introduced me to Ron Paul identified him as someone who wanted to stop funding the United Nations with our tax dollars and introduced legislation accordingly. Then I learned that he introduced legislation to fund the federal income tax. Then I learned that he introduced legislation to recognize the personhood of the unborn (H.R. 776). I later learned of his consistent stand against liberal spending in military interventions in Kosovo and Iraq.

Ron Paul is consistent fiscal conservative, and I commend him for it.

And who were these voters, exactly?

Then I learned that he introduced legislation to fund the federal income tax.

Finally, brass tacks.

Which legislation was that now? Can you give details?

I later learned of his consistent stand against liberal spending in military interventions in Kosovo and Iraq

Still addicted to buzzwords, eh?

I repeat for the nth time: our military spending in Iraq is demonstrably frugal by any historical standard.

Since you enjoy throwing around meaningless weasel words, would it be fair to say that the Communist Party USA's policy view on funding the Iraq War is conservative? After all, it is identical to Ron Paul's.

Or conversely, would I be justified in characterizing Ron Paul's policy view on funding the Iraq War as communist?
