I am a Republican registered voter.
Many times, for the sake of argument, I present myself much more liberal than how I truly feel.
I understand his view and I am glad that things did not go "his way" concerning the CRA.
So I don't believe I have flip-flopped.
The only reason anyone can justifiably point fingers at the GOP when it comes to issues of morality is that the GOP presented and continues to present itself to America as "THE PARTY" of morality.
We set ourselves up for the finger pointing.
As far as I know, that SC governor guy is still in office.
Blagojevich is not, though he wasn't removed for adultery.

I see what you are saying about the GOP claiming to be the "moral" party and not living up to it.

PAUL: Well, there's 10 -- there's 10 different -- there's 10 different titles, you know, to the Civil Rights Act, and nine out of 10 deal with public institutions. And I'm absolutely in favor of one deals with private institutions, and had I been around, I would have tried to modify that.

I don't really know what he is saying here and what he would want to modify. I'll have to call his office and see if I can get an answer on that.
