It is what many on the right keep pushing for, leave everything to the states. As I said, I will back reform, not geting rid of a needed agency.
I doubt many think the EPA should be state based...maybe they do, I don't know.
Those pushing for things to be returned to the state though seem more focused on things like education, which I completely agree with. We spend a ton of money on education and still cant get it right, we need to try something different...drastically different. Ending teachers unions might be the right answer as well.
Moving the abortion choice to the States is an OLD GOP idea to get around Row vs Wade and deny Millions of women the right to chose.
Getting rid of the FED, EPA, FDA and Dept of Education is another set of old GOP ideas. The only ideas that are really Pauls are his wanting to bring all troops home from around the world, isloationist thinking which makes the Nation and World Less safe. And cutting off funding to the rest of the world, which I agree with while we under water ourselves. Yes, Neo-Cons have changed your Party, But the Tea Party and Paul are NOT the answer, swinging too far in any direction is always bad, and is not acceptable to the vast Majority of Americans. Let me also remind you that Paul is not in reality a Republican, which means if he somehow got elected he would not have GOP support, meaning he would get Nothing done. No thanks, Paul is not the answer.
LMAO getting rid of the Fed is NOT an old republican idea.
Let me remind you, the person who exposed the federal Reserve as our biggest threat the most before Ron Paul was a democrat from Texas, Wright Patman. He's from your home state and you don't even know that.
Making the states responsible is not the answer, did you forget we are ONE Nation, would you rather we were not?
That thinking was exactly what the Founders fought against. We are not "ONE Nation," we are a confederation of individual republics. There's a reason the Constitution outlines very little for the federal government to do, they simply aren't supposed to do much. The states and local governments are where most of the power should reside as it easier for the people to control their state.

Everything the EPA does, our courts, with penalties is suppose to be doing.
Great article. The GOP should not be held hostage by Ron Paul and the 5% who support him. If you're not on board with defeating Oblama, get the H-E-double hockey sticks OUT.
If Ron Paul doesn't win the nomination - I will gladly leave. Any other candidate will be just as pointless as Obama.
