Rep. Paul doesn’t call himself a conservative by the way. Read his House Bio. http://www.house.gov/paul/bio.shtml
Dr. Paul's ACU rating:
PAUL
2006 - 76
2005 - 76
Life - 82.3
Dr. Paul's self assessment would be correct.
BTW McCain's lifetime rating is also 82.3
You’re right; he’s a constitutionalist.
And that's how it ought to be, what's wrong with many plastic politicians. One should be who they are and let the name fit them, not try to fit a name. The respectable former Senator Jesse Helms comes to mind.
Thanks for the link.
"Dr. Paul consistently voted to lower or abolish federal taxes, spending, and regulation, and used his House seat to actively promote the return of government to its proper constitutional levels."
That sounds conservative to me, and he has identified himself as a conservative in other interviews.
