This is true. Most of today's old check-pant Republicans would choose to vote for a Socialist/Progressive over a real Conservative. And that pretty much sums up the Republican Party at this point. Democrat-Light. Nothing more.
Paul's a conservative? I thought he was a libertarian. Are we getting some flip-flopping here?
He's fiscally conservative, and he's socially liberal in my opinion.
So both terms are accurate.
Right, but that makes him a libertarian, NOT a conservative.
