First of all, abortion and stem cell research (assuming the stem cells have abortion as a prerequisite) are two topics which are very different from all the other "conservative" subjects. A libertarian won't argue that gays shouldn't be allowed to marry, but they may argue that abortion should be illegal, and I agree with them. The abortion issue can be argued from a liberty, and not religous, standpoint. The liberties and freedoms of a human being deserve absolute protection from the government. And in my oppinion, this should include the unborn, who may require these the most since they are the most defenseless.
But yes, the issue of conservative judges vs liberal judges is a threat. And I think we'd probably rather see liberal judges appointed.
How did you like Paul's foreign policy? He had none. That was pretty much his weakest aspect. He was too extreme with wanting to remove the US's involvement in international groups and affairs, to the point where it would be unrealistic and dangerous both politically and economically.
