I'm about two thirds of the entire political spectrum left from this guy, so I'd much prefer to see one of your less far right candidates like Obama in the White House, but this guy wouldn't be half bad either.

? Ron Paul is not right on the political spectrum. He is in the pro-liberty section. Obama is in the opposite section, and anti-liberty section. Where do you stand? Have a look for yourself. http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html

 

Ron Paul is very much to the right on the liberal/conservative scale, and very much to the left on the libertarian/authoritarian scale. The neo-conservatives tend to be to the right on the authoritarian scale. It's as takeru51 said, Paul is a true conservative and not a neocon.

 How can you support the legalization of drugs, abortion, prostitution, and speech and be very much to the right on the political spectrum? Ron Paul is a libertarian which means he is generally for smaller government on econimics issues (like many conservatives) and generally for smaller government on personal/social issues (like many liberals).  See this page for more info, http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html
