A political hero

I would add to your list of “political types” the name of Ron Paul, who has served as a conservative congressman from Texas for I think over 20 years now. He currently has a 100% rating from The Conservative Index, which is probably the most relevant and accurate reflection of a congressman's true support of constitutional principles. During the last Republican presidential primary election, he was mocked by Gingrich, Giuliani, Romney and McCain, who each demonstrated numerous examples of compromise of essential constitutional and moral principles.

Ron Paul has been the most outspoken defender of constitutional government in the entire congress-bar none. He has often stood virtually alone against federal abuse of power, corruption, and big government. For his entire political career, he has served foursquare upon the principles of constitutional (limited) government, less taxation, right to life, and personal liberty.

Currently, Ron Paul is one of only a handful of congressmen that dares speak out against the emerging North American Union, NAFTA superhighway, and the Security and Prosperity Partnership agreement, all of which are being promoted by the White House in concert with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

Paul's commitment to the life issue is more than rhetoric. For example, during the 2005 congressional session, Rep. Paul introduced H.R. 776, entitled the "Sanctity of Life Act of 2005."
