Ron Paul is consistently giving A+ grades by the National Taxpayer's Union and Gun Owners of America

But why do many conservatives not like him, because the media tries to point out the only policies he's not modern-day conservative on, and that's his foreign policy (which he doesn't believe we should leave countries alone, we should be diplomatic and encourage free trade, and avoid military action if we can, and if we can't get the support of congress) and his policy on the war on drugs (which I still can't believe how many people support)

Now Mitt Romney on the other hand has spoken out against many conservative issues

Romney throughout his political career has been

Pro-Choice
Pro-Gun laws
Pro-Mandates (Health Insurance, etc.)
and Pro-Bailouts

So I will still vote Romney if he wins the nomination

BUT

until then I will be against Romney

and even if he wins the nomination I will not be fooled into believing he's conservative.

    That is not much of a stretch as Mitt is not a conservative but then neither is Newt or Mr. Santorum as when the review of policy is examined it is easy to discern that the three of them are as Liberal in their own penchants with other people's money and liberty as any of the Barney Franks of the world..

    He is a REAL conservative, not a neo con. When you look up the definition of conservative it is basically "the lack of government" and thats what Paul wants, the lack of Federal government in our lives. He has never voted for budget increase, he has never voted to raise the debt ceiling or to raise taxes. If that isnt conservative I dont know what is....oh wait morons think conservative means: God fearing, drug war wagging, brown people killing and expansion of government.

    Romney is no conservative, just another shill for Wall St and the multinationals who have the republic rotting away from inside

    Paul isn't conservative. Paul wants people to use whatever drugs they choose to use. He doesn't particularly want a military. He does, however, want to control a woman's body. He wants to do away with the Fed which was a creation of the republicans. Romney is far from being conservative, too.

    A few corrections

    Ron Paul does want a strong and robust military, he just doesn't want to be sending the overseas every minute.

    The abortion issue you have him on, but it brings up the topic of should the fetus have rights. If you think yeah than you're just as liberty minded as one who thinks the mother should decide.

    Actually Woodrow Wilson created the Fed. And no Ron Paul doesn't want to do away with it. He knows that getting rid of a central bank right away will cause damage to an economy that has gotten used to fiat currency. So the only changes he would do that is put it back into the hands on the governent. Now I know what you're thinking don't libertarians dislike the government, well libertarians dislike centralization more. Libertarians don't like centralization of power, centralization of wealth. And if the fed were in the hands on the government it would be so reckless about it's printing and spending. But it still means the government will still spend which needs to be cut.

    And the drug war. No Ron Paul does not want people to do any drugs. He just sees how the war on drugs has not really done anything in the creation and use of drugs. And it has spent time and resources fighting a cause that is hard to defeat.
