Unwaveringly pro-life
He is a little to the right of me, not too mention a little too libertarian for my tastes, but I like his integrity. I definitely like this guy. Being a southerner, I wonder if, like another major presidential contender, he fakes a northern accent when he is around different crowds ;)?
Read this excellent piece, Theology, Not Politics, that Ron Paul wrote after the passing of John Paul II. He calls out both sides of the political spectrum for getting angry at John Paul II when he didn’t support their politics.
