Fri Dec 30 05:01:52 CET 2011

very comprehensive analysis, here at

(not sure though on the methodology, but every link and claim is documented)

Paul is very clearly aligned with the 1 percent. He says some things that
sound good, but his voting
record<http://www.progressivepunch.org/members.htm?search=selectName&members=TX14&member=TX14&chamber=Senate&zip=>on
issues related to corporations and the rest of us is bad. For
instance,
his lifetime voting record on:

Aid to Less Advantaged People, at Home & Abroad is 13.40 percent
progressive
Corporate Subsidies 31.18 percent
Education, Humanities, & the Arts 13.19 percent
Environment 11.35 percent
Fair Taxation 9.01 percent
Government Checks on Corporate Power 15.16 percent
Health Care 12.62 percent
Housing 6.10 percent
Labor Rights 13.51 percent
Making Government Work for Everyone, Not Just the Rich or Powerful 15.88
percent

Even on the issues he's supposed to be good on, his record is mediocre:
Human Rights & Civil Liberties 33.66 percent progressive
Justice for All: Civil and Criminal 30.71 percent
War & Peace 47.92 percent
