For one thing, his campaign manager went on TV and very explicitly said that Ron Paul is NOT anti-war.

He voted for the AUMF resolution. He supported attacking Iran before he was against it. He's not "anti-war" in any way.

He's also not a libertarian, since he's never met a pro-life or anti-gay bill he didn't like, including supporting DOMA.
