Voted NO on federal crime to harm fetus while committing other crimes.
Voted NO on forbidding human cloning for reproduction & medical research.
Voted NO on barring transporting minors to get an abortion.
Voted NO on more prosecution and sentencing for juvenile crime.
Voted NO on allowing school prayer during the War on Terror.
Voted NO on passage of the Bush Administration national energy policy.
Voted NO on implementing Bush-Cheney national energy policy.
Voted NO on requiring lobbyist disclosure of bundled donations.
Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits about obesity against food providers.
Voted NO on prohibiting product misuse lawsuits on gun manufacturers.
Voted NO on prohibiting suing gunmakers & sellers for gun misuse.

A very good case for all these "no" votes can be made by asking the question, "Is this within the Constitutionally permitted scope of the federal government"?

Conservatives know that there is a big difference between "I don't like X" and "X must be made illegal". It's one of the most important things that differentiates us from liberals.

Conservatives know the difference. Sometimes, Republicans don't though. These are the RINO's that think a Rudy McRomney ticket is just "peachy".

Hunter and Thompson are the only two contenders who are both Republican AND conservative.

Yes actually,
For example, the first 3 relate to the tenth and thirteenth amendments regarding equal protection under the law (in this case, for the unborn) and slavery (one human owning the right to the life of another)

The fifth directly supports the first amendments prevention of the government preventing the free exercise of religious practice.

Most others involve the equal protection clause.. I can get into a lot more detail if you would like..

As I’ve said often, Paul seems to use his own interpretation of the Dummies Guide to the Constitution as his own little Munchhausen by Proxy for Conservatism, allowing it not to grow by small steps- opting for an all or nothing mentality.

Voted YES on providing $70 million for Section 8 Housing vouchers.

Then where does that fit in under the Constitutionally permitted scope of the Federal government?
