Ron Paul's proposals are basically ultraconservative in their general thrust.
His proposals led to much smaller government through strict fiscal austerity.
Basically Ron wants to reduce the DoD by about 15%.
He wants to eviserate most social programs. Complete elimination or elimination by huge reductions and attrition
If there's any real difference btween RP and his fellow GOPers, it is his foreign policies and his indifference about some social issues.
If RP were elected and IF he could ram his proposals through Congress, I suspect the USA would have a deflationary depression that would rival the GREAT depression in scope.
He really isn't ultra Conservative. The Conservative movement has been taken over by the left, see label NEO-CON, IE FASCIST!, which is left wing.
He is Libertarian in view which is much closer to true conservative thought of old... Like our Founding Fathers.
