His voting record may be conservative, but so what? Would he translate to a good president and not get pinned down as a rampant ideologue?

At the very least... he would Veto everything, for eight years.

If for eight years, the expansion of Spending and Taxes simply stopped; if for eight years, the Growth of Government was arrested; If for eight years, no new Federal Laws and Regulations were visited upon the Poluace; if for eight years, the Federal Government grinds to a halt... then Ron Paul shall have acheived the wildest dreams of the youthful William Buckley, and shall have earned his place amongst the Greatest of American Presidents.

If Ron Paul simply stands athwart History yelling "'STOP!", it is enough.

That is much preferable to the borrow-and-spend liberalism of other Republicans and the Democrats.

And history would point him out as nothing but a contrarian and possibly a bad one at that. Simply saying NO or Stop won’t cut it. I’m not about to watch my country grind to a halt to satisfy Billy Buckley’s little fantasy, because in the end tit for tat on that level is dangerous to the country overall.
