While I am going to vote for Bush, there are numerous credits you have attributed to Bush that go hollow in the face of additional information.
I don't deny that Bush has done a number of very good things. I do deny that he has been a conservative's conservative.
Ron Paul may not give Bush enough credit in some areas, and I don't think that is any more right than giving him unwarranted credit in others.
Right now, we should be focusing on getting Bush elected, so I don't think it serves us well to focus on Paul's list of shortcomings right now. However, that list is valid. It does deserve to be addressed at some point.

I agree with your statement. Ron Paul does make some good points we need to address. I am always against a form of libertarianism that denys the fact that individuals can hurt others while exercising their own liberty, and that is why governments were instituted among men. Thus abortion is an evil even to liberty because it denys the right of an innocent while in the expression of the "liberty" of a woman to abort. This is where Paul and other libertarians go wrong. But the "Neo-Con" problem is real, and it must be suppressed after the election through grassroots effort and candidate training
