AuntB, that is just not true. He has a lifetime rating of 83 from the American Conservative Union. Ron Paul ACU ratings
Granted some of his votes were headscratchers. He did vote against the fetal protection bill and the tort reform limits on medical malpractice awards.
I’ll stick by it, Eric, Paul votes more like a democrat than a republican. Not all the time, I didn’t say all the time, but enough to understand why he’s being supported by the left side of the spectrum.
20% of Republicans vote ‘present’ on Ramadan resolution (Paul votes YES)
Source: The Hill
“The resolution recognized “the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world,” rejected “hatred, bigotry and violence directed against Muslims, both in the United States and worldwide”

“Granted some of his votes were headscratchers. He did vote against the fetal protection bill and the tort reform limits on medical malpractice awards.”
Yes, and this bothers me. Anyone who reads the Dec. of Ind. and the Constitution honestly must acknowledge the fundamental principles that life comes from God, and no government has the right to deprive any innocent person of his right to life.
Yet, Ron Paul claims he is prolife, although it was not on the literature I received, and claims he looks at issues constitutionally,and yet he voted against the fetal protection bill.
It does not add up.
