Congressman Ron Paul of Texas enjoys a national reputation as the premier advocate for liberty in politics today. Dr. Paul is the leading spokesman in Washington for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He is known among both his colleagues in Congress and his constituents for his consistent voting record in the House of Representatives: Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill.

Dr. Paul's consistent voting record prompted one Congressman to comment that "Ron Paul personifies the Founding Fathers' ideal of the citizen-statesman. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are." Another Congresswoman added that "There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few."

Clearly we can't have a nut like this in the White House. After all, we wouldn't want to set a precedent of electing someone who actually believes that oath they all have to take is binding on them, would we? The man is clearly a menace. Yes, we need another RINO to carry on the glorious tradition of unconstitutional wars and out of control spending, further shredding of the Bill of Rights and casting the Constitution out the windows of the White House in bits and pieces. Good thinking, comrade!

He's a legend in his own mind. ;)

Sorry, all of that is complete BS. Paul says he does all those things and he is Jesus Christ of the Constitution in his own mind and in the mind of his followers, but this has all been analyzed in depth here on hundreds of threads.

Paul is a moderate libertarian who loves the sound of his own voice.

Ron Paul in a nutshell, is all about symbolism over substance. He cares more about symbolic votes that he claims are upholding the Constitution than the substance of those votes. He cared more about the symbolism of voting against funding our troops in the middle of battle than he cared about actually funding US Soldiers who were being shot at. Even most of the Democrats weren’t that stupid.

Ron Paul has rolled up the Constitution into a little flute and he is playing a tune, leading the gullible off the cliff, all for his own little game.
