At some point, Principle must take precidence over Profit. Dr. Paul's constituents in the 14th District of Texas have obviously decided which they prefer. I fail to see how his consistant popularity and unopposed elections equate to "not serving his constituent's needs." Texas is probably the most stereotypically pro-war, "red" state in the whole country, yet Dr. Paul has voted consistantly against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, on both moral and Constitutional grounds. And he keeps getting re-elected. Seems his constituents like what they see, and so do I. If Dr. Paul was, by some miracle, elected President, I would be on the first plane back to North Carolina. Hell, if Dr. Paul was elected President, I'd probably join the Marines just for the honor of serving under the last honest man in Washington.
