He has been married to his wife Carol for 50 years.

He said he does not agree with the "theory" of evolution.

He is pro-life and has consistently created bills that would propose an amendment to define life as beginning at creation.

He delivered over 4000 babies as an OB/GYN. When his patients only way to pay was with your money (medicare, etc.) he treated them for free or worked out a lower cost payment plan.

He goes to church and his children were raised there.

He lives his faith as evidenced by his upholding his Congressional Oath of Office regardless of what the "world" wanted him to do.

He strongly supports home schooling and has the legislative record to prove it.

He believes the federal laws that keep your courthose from displaying a manger scence are ridiculous.

He believes that America was created as a country where the Church would and should have as much or more power than the state.

He has never voted for a bill that made your local schools teach sex education or diversity classes.

He has never voted to spend a dollar of your money to support an abortion or planned parenthood.

He doesn't travel alone with women.

He doesn't swear and admonishes people who do (especially in the presence of a lady).

You shouldn't emphasize the evolution thing. It isn't really that important, and then the question would come up: why didn't he raise his hand? You could explain, but many people might not respect that. For Paul the issue is absolutely not important. For any voters you might impress with that fact, it is so important that they might disapprove of that fact that he thought it was unfair to ask that question to a presidential candidate.

Sorry but after reading that I wouldn't vote for him. Church should have more power over the state? No thanks. That sounds more like a theocractic state. Not a free one.

The church shouldn't have more power by default. The idea is that in a free society powerful institutions would be the ones created by the voluntary participation, not coerced by the government.

Churches, Schools, Businesses (not ones given government money mind you) should be a bigger factor in your life than the government.

Ron has two brothers that are ordained ministers . . . who operate out of a real church building. But I don't think they'll come out and abuse their 501c3

And not that this matters to those spiritually in-tune who understand that WE ourselves are "The Church" (Gr. ekklesia, called out ones).

The way you put it sounds great. And I totally agree. The way he put it wasn't good at all. It would only turn new potential voters away. I don't believe in church having more power than the state at all. That's the last thing we need in this country.
