People who care about the rule of law tend to be conservatives.

That's a ridiculous generalization.  It just depends on the laws we are talking about.  Conservatives generally supported the Patriot Act, the (undeclared by Congress) war in Iraq, the torture of prisoners, and warrantless wiretaps.

No, Republicans do. Conservative and Republican are not the same thing.

Ron Paul is a conservative, and I don't think he supports any of those things.

It is interesting about Ron Paul.  Because of his consistent views on things, which put him on the outside of the normal politics, he gets airtime others don't (this and he has an anti-war stance that plays with the left now, along with consistency in respecting the Constitution).  Ron Paul is somewhere between Libertarian and Conservative, so he isn't fully in either camp at this point.
