Although it is dubbed the “Conservative Index”, it is really an index that measures “adherence to constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and a traditional foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements” according to Control Congress; not the more modern (and flawed), big government, big spending, interventionist definition of “conservative.” As you might expect, Ron Paul scored a perfect 100.

How can someone who scores 100% in the freedom index be a crackpot?
If you want to get him elected you must REGISTER to vote as an R and then go and do it!
Also miscreant, abortion is depriving the life and liberty of a baby…d’uh.
So you’d rather have an atheist so killing will be accepted? Bah.
