A true constitutionalist.

I support Dr. Ron Paul because of his belief that a government should be held captive to its constitution. The recent idea of a living constitution has been used to promote or reject any idea using ill defined concepts and hiding behind our most fundamental law. A great example is the claim that laws banning saggy pants are unconstitutional, violating both the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Perhaps one imagines that any sort of self expression is garanteed by the First and uses the anti discrimination clause in the Fourteenth. That person has just provided a suitable basis for the unconstitutionality of laws against baggy pants. Anyone who can read at an 8th grade level can see that it is a far stretch to find a constitutional right to baggy/backside revealing clothes. Whether or not is is a municipality's responsibility to provide a dress code is not the point, the point is our constitution was meant to protect basic rights, not provide an easy shield for any action or behavior. Ron Paul also votes against giving the government power that is not given in the Constitution. He opposed the Homeland Security Bill that authorizes forced smallpox vaccinations. Homeland Security Bill, H.R. 5005 section 304. If you want someone who champions the idea of personal Liberty Ron Paul is your guy.
