Magda and Seamus,
I guess because he is basically a Libertarian he has some dfiffering views. He is a physician, an obstetrician, and is opposed to abortion. I don't know how extreme his views would be toward saving the life of a woman at the expense of her fetus, nor do I favor most of his domestic policies, but his views on the central private banking systems, Federal Reserve System and similar banks in other countries, are very sensible, even though his economic thinking comes from a conservative base, Ludvig von Mises and the Mises Institute. He seems to have studed economics intensively, and a few years ago was able to achieve the passage of a bill to audit the Federal Reserve System in the U.S. House of Representatives with a sizable majority and co-sponsors. That bill did not survive in the US Senate, though.
He has accumulated a small group of delegates going into the Republican Convention, but how much influence they might have there is somewhat questionable. However, he did stand out in the crowd of nine during the Republican candidates' debates by speaking out for Peace and against War. Romney and all of the others are Hawks.
