Interesting; Ron Paul is neither socially conservative nor fiscally moderate.

I am glad you find it interesting. I was not looking for someone whose every view is same as mine. Such candidates do not exist.

Ron Paul's views on most issues were more in line with mine compared to any other candidate. I disagree with his views on issues such as Israel, but I would be OK with his fiscal stance including his views of the Fed. I was also in strong agreement with his stance on abortion. Or maybe my views on economic issues is not as moderate as I think, but then again "independent" refers to someone with diverse views.

They also encourage rampant cheap, alien labor (see McCain-Kennedy and "Gang of Eight" for proof).


Reality is I'm conservative (REAL conservative, not neoCON "conservative) and appalled by just about every single "representative" on Capital Hill to the point I want to vomit. Therefore I'm more of an independent (I did, afterall, vote for the indy candidate the last three times for prez.)

The only one who could save this country at this time - actually end the growth of cancer that is today's America - are Ron Paul or Pat Buchanan.

I've never heard of anyone claiming to be 'fiscally liberal'.

They were trying to sell Romney as a conservative but his past proved his economic policies were just as liberal as Obama and Bush.

Romney was incredibly liberal - worst of all he was one of the worst flip-flops in the history of presidential candidates:
