From Real Clear Politics:

Oddly enough, [Ron Paul] appears as a moderate in the National Journal’s ratings of House members. His liberal-conservative ratings in 2004 for economic, social and foreign policy were 47-53, 46-54 and 80-20, respectively. He seems to be a moderate, but that is actually an illusion created by NJ’s two-dimensional measure. Paul is operating on a third dimension. His politics do not fit into our two-dimensional scheme of liberal/conservative. He is a libertarian.
