Rep. Paul doesn’t call himself a conservative by the way.

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

I find myself at least partially in agreement with Dr. Paul on domestic issues. That said, his take on foreign policy is, well, I can’t adequately describe my disappointment (at least in terms suitable for a family site like this). Something in the Libertarian (as opposed to the little “l” libertarian) movement just cannot figure out that our enemies have motivations of their own. We just have to be ready to do unto others before they do unto us in this world.

I don't think you unserstand the ACU's ratings. They base a member's "conservatism" on what they vote on.

Here are their 25 criteria: ACU Chart

Paul voted "the wrong way" on 6 of the 25 issues. Two of them were war-related, which Paul opposes; the other four were opposed by Paul because they were either unconstitutional or a violation of states' rights.

Furthermore, I would avoid calling myself a conservative if "conservative" means the open borders, budget-busting liberalism of George W. Bush.
