Just as Obama and all other elected officials who have an almost none existent campaign promises kept have done and continue to do.

Let me emphasize up front, that I am no ron paul fan, he reminds me of a rather odd uncle who has some interesting life experiences, but comes up with some off-the-wall ideas that make everyone else in the family uncomfortable. However, I firmly beleive that paul is not one of the candidates you describe who will do or say whatever to get elected. Paul is running to get his ideas aired, and will say what he beleives, much of which is definitely not designed to gain mainstream appeal. He is an interesting politician who appeals to a lot of people's instinctive sense of what is right, but has too many unworkable big ideas to ever gain national support in my opinion.
