Paul is not a conservative he is a libertarian.
Not sure why you think he is a conservative. Libertarianism is more closely aligned to liberalism than conservatism.

His adherance to the Constitution is enough for me.

A Constitutional approach to the size and scope of government, economic policy, foreign policy, etc, etc.

No other candidate is as consistently conservative.

FYI: Libertarianism is at the heart of conservatism.

“Libertarianism is more closely aligned to liberalism than conservatism.”

Not even CLOSE to true. The libertarian philosophy espoused by Dr. Paul and MANY others reflects much, if not MOST of the Founders’ philosophy: INDIVIDUAL liberty, INDIVIDUAL responsibility, INDIVIDUAL morality (and an INDIVIDUAL relationship with God). The sanctity of ALL human life from conception being the cornerstone of that philosophy, SELF-OWNERSHIP being its capstone. If you do NOT own yourself, why would you have (or “need” or be allowed to have) an ABSOLUTE RIGHT to protect and defend your life?

Yes, to one who’s been washed in the Blood, the Pink Slip to our lives is given over to our Redeemer, but we maintain the responsibility for its maintenance and care. Which is why people like you baffle me with your utter and complete INCONSISTENCY in your proclaimed philosophy, if what you profess to live by could rightly be called that. Yours appears to be much more aligned with the collectivists than that of Ron Paul and his self-aware, GROWNUP supporters.
