Re: Ron Paul:

Do any of you so enthralled by Ron Paul ever look at what he actually stands for?

1) withdrawal from NATO, UN
2) ending of federal income tax
3) abolishing of many (most?) government agencies--in practice that will mean non-defense agencies: i.e. lots of social programs. What do you think will substitute for them?
4) against gun control
5) overturning Roe v Wade--he is "pro-life"

He's a Republican Congressman who advocates withdrawal from Iraq--fine. But, sorry to say, he's a package deal. Including all the above--and probably more. Why do I think you may possibly not be quite so enthusiastic about some of his non-Iraq positions?
