He’s the darling of old school traditional Republicans. Real conservatives. Limited government, states rights, free enterprise, and a non interventionist foreign policy.
1980 Republicans: Government isn’t the solution, government is the problem.
2007 Republicans: When people hurt, government must act.

He’s not my “darling.” He is madder than a March hare. Paul blames the US for the 9/11 attacks and those that went on before. He is a Libertarian, not a Republican.

Paul is in no way the 'darling' of old school Republicans. Old School Republicans don't blame the US for nutjob terrorists. Old School Republicans don't believe in sticking their heads in the sand in relation to threats to our nation. Old School Republicans don't parse words over 'war' versus 'force' when you have a madman tyrant shooting at our fighter jets, gassing his people, and shooting rockets at our allies. Old School Republicans don't scold everyone else for pork and say it's Unconstitutional while, at the same time, requesting millions for trolleys and wetland preservation in his own district.
Paul isn't an old school Republican, Paul is an opportunist Libertarian who has a lot of people tricked into thinking he is a Constitutinalist.

(Ron Paul is as much of a Constitutionalist as Fred Phelps is a Christian)
