According to http://www.voteview.com out of 3,320 individuals who served in either or both the house and senate from 1937 until 2002 Ron Paul tops the list as most conservative of the bunch. The link to view the list http://www.voteview.com/is_john_kerry_a_liberal.htm

..and according to the American Conservative Union (which is far more respected than Vote View), Paul's lifetime rating is one of the lowest of the Republican congressmen and almost the same as John McCain's rating. (83% Paul vs 82.6% McCain)

On The Issues has Paul's voting record as a 'moderate libertarian'.
