* Authorized to use force in Afghanistan after 9/11.- Then later said we shouldn't be there and it was also empire building. Said it should be handled through Letters of Marquis- Was for it before he was against it.

* Wrote legislation to Declare War on Iraq in 2002.- Now says it is an immoral war of empire building, was for it before he is against it.

* Is 100% consistent on the 2nd Amendment.- Unless it is reducing the waiting period to get a firearm or prohibiting lawsuits against firearm manufacturers.

* Is 100% anti-abortion.- Unless it involves making it a crime to take a minor across State lines for an abortion or harming a fetus in the commission of a crime.

But on the balance? He’s more of a Conservative than anyone left running in our party.- Unless you look at his full voting record as done by OnTheIssues or the American Conservative Union that both have him as moderate at best.

Don't be fooled.. Paul is no Conservative. Votes speak louder than rhetoric.

Ron Paul's 2006 American Conservative Union rating: 76% Lifetime Rating: 82.3%

Ron Paul's Voting Record (ya, ya, I know, there is an excuse for all of these, state's rights are more important than stopping abortion and fixing the border, Ronnie is making a statement, or everyone else was voting against it and he was just playing the game, yadda, yadda, yadda)

Here are some more ‘Conservative(sic)’ votes by Paul:

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 YES on funding for alternative sentencing instead of more prisons.

Voted NO on more prosecution and sentencing for juvenile crime.

Voted NO on military border patrols to battle drugs & terrorism.

Voted NO on allowing school prayer during the War on Terror.

Voted NO on allowing vouchers in DC schools.

Voted NO on passage of the Bush Administration national energy policy.

Voted NO on implementing Bush-Cheney national energy policy.

Voted YES on barring website promoting Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump.

Voted NO on speeding up approval of forest thinning projects.

Voted NO on reforming the UN by restricting US funding.

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.

Voted YES on more immigrant visas for skilled workers.

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

Voted NO on promoting work and marriage among TANF recipients.

Let's also not forget Paul's Pork Projects (that he voted for before he voted against when he calls them unconstitutional but he is just playing the game when he submits them because everyone else does it.. yadda yadda yadda..)

Unless it is reducing the waiting period to get a firearm

There shouldn't BE a waiting period or ANY federal law concerning guns for that matter.

or prohibiting lawsuits against firearm manufacturers

Please point out the section of the Constitution which enumerates the role of the government to prohibit lawsuits.

Unless it involves making it a crime to take a minor across State lines for an abortion or harming a fetus in the commission of a crime.

Ain't the federal government's role, broseph.

There is plenty to bust Paul's chops on. These two issues are not them.

But on the balance? He’s more of a Conservative than anyone left running in our party.

This should be good. Out of Rudy, John, Mitt and Mike, which of these stooges, in your opinion, is "more conservative" than Paul?
