If you're using Paul's "dem votes" as your basis for your opposition, then you certainly also oppose virtually any other GOP candidate, right? Certainly the top three running (McCain, Guiliani and Romney)?
Here's the deal. Dems are generally big government economically and small government socially. Reps are generally big government socially and small government economically (by their words, not their actions). Libertarians are small government economically AND socially. So yes, Paul will certainly vote with the Dems on some issues, as he will with the Reps on some issues.
Paul supports making Bush's tax cuts permanent. He supports immigration control. He opposes most of our social programs. He wants the DOE abolished.
He's a breath of fresh air.
Not true. Dems/Liberals usually want government to push their agenda across the board.
Reps are generally big government socially and small government economically...
Not true. Reps/Conservatives usually want government to push their agenda across the board.
Libertarians are small government economically AND socially.
True.
He voted with the Dems to surrender.
I'm all for small government, but on defense he's with the Traitor Party.
For me that makes his campaign announcement DOA.
