If Paul is the most conservative candidate, how do you define conservative? I don't resonate well with either label, liberal or conservative. Both terms are bloated with contradictory meanings that are in the eye of the beholder.
Chris From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kevin Kervick Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2011 11:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [RC] Age of Ron Paul I like to use the term, Independent Conservative to show that he is conservative. He has the most conservative voting record in the House. The Independent label refers to the fact that he does not toe the line with neoconservatives and Progressives who say they are conservatives. His opponents and the media use libertarian to paint him as something other than conservative. I believe paul is the most conservative candidate in the race, bar none. Kevin Kevin, >From your article, "Why are they so afraid of Ron Paul? They are afraid because his message does not fit their increasingly outdated and tired narrative. If people begin to embrace Paul's independent conservative message, many of them will undoubtedly stop listening to dinosaur Conservatives on the airwaves." First sentence is great and I think true. Second sentence, I am confused by your use of the term "conservative" to define Paul. To me, he doesn't fit into the normal bi-polar liberal-conservative box. Why bother to put a conservative label on him? Chris ------------------------------------------ Christopher P.
