He is against nation building on our expensive wars...wars where we go against to constitution and don't "declare war." He is pro constitution and civil liberties. He has a long history of voting this way to back up his consistent views. When someone asks him a question, he gives honest answers that are relavent. And he knows it's a lot of work to get the country back on it's feet, but it needs to happen quickly or it's downhill from here.
Basically, he does nothing like the other Republicans and thinks they have taken "the party down the tubes."

Thanks for a basic answer. Though I do not need to know what or whom Ron Paul is. Yes long ago I was a "conservative republican" and now I am just independant. I know what a republican is supposed to be before the hijacking by the christian right. Ron Paul though is a bit far though in my eyes and that would make him a lame duck at best. I am all for more constitution less government and all, just not all at once. The public would freak and the system is not ready.
So I asked, what makes the Mormon dude not republican? I know the current republicans also seem to hate him yet alas he is also a Mormon so I am curious as to if there is other reasons as well. I could go check some sites but that requires a bit more bullshit sifting. So I am asking some opinions.
