Sorry but the starve the beast small government push has been around a lot longer than Ron Paul or the Tea Party neither of whom originated the concept. If anything Paul and the Tea Party are Johnny-Come-Lately's to that party.

Some Ron Paul statements I just got off his videos.

Ron Paul says the problem is too much bipartisanship, not too little.

Young people give 10% of their income to the gov't, then opt out.

Gov't should not be able to do anything that you cannot do. If you can't steal from your neighbor, don't ask the gov't to do it for you.

We have turned Iraq into Shiite country, which is Iranian.
Taliban is just trying to defend their country. When we kill their families, we give them more reason to hate us, thus put ourselves in danger.

We start wars, pre-emptive wars, and call that peacemaking.

Wow, always interesting to see a right-winger defend Terrorists and enemies of this Nation, make me wonder how far the right is willing to go to gain power, no, not really, I already know.

Pointing out the facts is not defending the terrorists. you're not making any sense here.

When it comes to the Facts, especially when discussing the Taliban, it is obvious some don't have any Facts Are you defending the "Freedom Fighter Taliban" also, just want to know so we know if you are for America or for the Terrorists?

I only defend me and my family. I could care less what Clinton, Bush or Obama has done or is doing. I'm like you, just a zombie paying taxes.

Then it is obvious you have never served in the military, police, fire department, EMT or in any hospital, since you are only selfserving, I have done two of the above. You should care what they do, it affects You and Your Family in many ways. No zombie here and I fight them whenever I get the opportunity. Taxes, I want flat tax for all, NO loopholes, no deductions, the only Fair form of tax for all Ameicans.

No thanks. I worked my butt off all my life only to look up and this coward Obama is ruining the economy and the country. I'm tired of convincing idiots that a usurper is in the White House. So I think I'm just gonna put all my cares on Obama, just like the rest of the world. He's America's savior if you ask his followers, everything is peachy, so let's see how that works out since nobody in America wants to get things fixed.

I'll be in the minority but I'm still voting for Ron Paul. just for sanity sake.
