No, it's not. By definition. You are imposing an incorrect definition. Calling yourself libertarian does not make you a libertarian, the policies do.

Ron Paul is not libertarian, he's a republican, with some libertarian views in his polliices.

The libertarian views you can indentify in his poliicies most easily are - end the war on drugs, because government does not have a legitimate interest in controlling people's bodies or entertainment choices. And end the corporate wars, because government does not have a legitimate interest in wars that are not for defense.

Wars of aggression and adventure are not legitimate in libertarian policy.

However, as I said, libertarians can't govern a society like ours.

So, there is some truth to your objection, because if someone like Ron Paul, a republican with some libertarian views, both got elected, and swept the congress and replaced a majority with other republicans with some libertarian views, what we would end up with is a mustated form of republicanism, which would be essentially an oligarchy, a plutocracy even worse that what we have now.

However, it's silly to propose this, Ron Paul won't be allowed to run for president, and even if he did, congress on both sides would block him, so what we would end up with is the worst deadlock we've ever seen.
