“The tell-tale sign of being qualified for the presidency is not faith, but loyalty to the Constitution which defends the open expression of faith. Ron Paul seems to be the candidate most loyal to the Constitution according to the records ...
Having thoroughly examined your political philosophy and finding that your platform is 100% in line with the Constitution of the United States of America, and examining your political record to find that you have consistently upheld the Constitution and thereby faithfully represented your constituency, and studying your statement of faith to find that your faith and religious experience is 100% compatible with Evangelical Christianity and Orthodox Christianity, I hereby endorse you for the Office of the President of the United States of America. I wish you Godspeed!"

OF NOTE:
Despite Paul polling much better than candidates who received coverage, a montage of mainstream media clips that showed commentators ignoring, and two CNN correspondents admitting to suppressing, coverage of Paul. The Project for Excellence in Journalism found that Ron Paul did in fact receive substantially less coverage than other candidates in the 2012 race. Ron Paul was asked in a Fox News interview "What are they [the media] afraid of?" He answered "They don't want to discuss my views, because I think they're frightened by me challenging the status quo and the establishment."
The Project for Excellence in Journalism released another study in October 2011 further confirming that Ron Paul has been receiving disproportionately low coverage in the media
During the November 12 CBS/National Journal Debate, Paul was allocated 90 seconds speaking time. Paul's campaign responded, saying, "Congressman Paul was only allocated 90 seconds of speaking in one televised hour.
ANY, yes, including Christian 'conservatives' , should be OUTRAGED that ANY candidate is being intentionally sidelined! Just think where Paul would be (first instead of second!) if he had been treated fairly.
THAT is what scares 'em to death!
