This is straight from the creed of the Virginia Republican Party:
We Believe . . .
That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice
That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society
That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government
That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing constitutional limitations
That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense
That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers, is essential to the moral fibre of the Nation

Should it be any wonder that Ron Paul, the only Republican candidate for President to espouse each and every one of these views ended up winning the Virginia State GOP straw poll?
