I'm not sure how accurate it is to say he's very conservative by Republican standards. Or more accurately he's not by Tennessee Republican standards. His lifetime ACU rating is less conservative than any in the Tennessee delegation[1] and his lifetime Americans for Democratic Action rating is higher than any Tennessee Republican.[2] I'm thinking of changing this.--T.

I would also add that Ron Paul is very conservative, though of the libertarian variety. So to say he is the only conservative amongst the Republicans to vote against the Iraq War is wrong. --Amcalabrese 01:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I changed this to say that he is "one of the most conservative"... According to the source given, Paul's ratings were higher on that particular conservatism scale than Duncan's. Also, you can't base "how conservative" someone is on a few rankings because everyone's definition of "conservative" is going to be different.--Gloriamarie 00:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Someone changed the "supports" Ron Paul to Fred Thompson. Yet the citation of the source is an article stating that he supports Paul. He has endorsed Paul officially. Why was this changed? (other than yet another blatant Paul suppression attempt?)--76.185.162.176 (talk) 05:34, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
