I really honestly don't think it does. Now find a way to get ACism or more importantly principle of non-violence or the idea that taxation is theft and theft is wrong in all circumstances onto CNN or in the Metro and I'll not only vote for it I'll fund it out of my own pocket. Ron Paul doesn't do that. He says that fundamentally some level of governmental aggression is ok. In fact he goes further to say that some level is morally good.

I think he's only saying these things to reach a wider audience in order to get out the big picture(freedom/free markets). But who knows, we can't read his mind. The fact is that the total lack of the state is an EXTREMELY fringe position and finding that being taken seriously on CNN or the New York Times is a no-shot.

I don't want to keep going on this so this is probably the last point I'll make and it's just reitterating what I said earlier. A lot of ACists were once small government libertarians. We once thought that taxes were morally ok for some things. So you just have to give people the benefit of the doubt in that they have to travel the same path that most of us did. It's only natural. There is just no way that you can make most Americans accept ACism without first taking them down the libertarian, "small government=good" path. I think you need to appreciate that and understand it when anarchists decide to vote for Ron Paul as part of the method in spreading the word about free markets and individual liberty.
