Exactly... all the hypothetical scenarios put forth assume Ron Paul would be able to behave like some sort of dictator if he was elected. That's simply not how it works, and enormous changes would not occur over night. However, he would begin to move things in a better direction. Slowly, but cumulatively.
People complain about a two-party system and when there is a real alternative they poopoo it. Are we better off that Dems and Repubs are involving us in a war that's going to cost our children tax dollars to pay back? Does the fact that America spends more money on education per child than just about every nation on earth, yet American kids can't compete academically with those from most 1st world nations concern anybody?
Encouraging spending of more money in the wrong areas, bigger beauracracies, less self-reliance and more individual and collective irresponsibility, is not the way to go.
