Federal, state and local! Cut off their endless demands for our money and limit the time they need to show up for "work."

John McCain is a RINO
Ron Paul is a KOOK!!
Our problem is simple. Too much government. Day in and day out they make more and more so called well intentioned rules, laws and regulations designed to fix problems caused by the old rules and regulations and laws. In the end all they do is expand the size and scope of failed policy. The chant of “We need to get something done” is heard over and over. What needs to happen is to get something undone and dismantle the apparatus that is causing all the problems.
First the writer is Full of Shite. Second, the story is referring to RAND Paul, not his kooky Pop. You are 100% on the nails head about mclain and RON Paul.
You do realize that Rand Paul and Ron Paul are two different people, don’t you?
If anything, Rand Paul got in brief trouble in his campaign by speaking too plainly about Constitutional principles. He obviously comes to his conservatism via a Constitutionalist-libertarian prism, and he’s been about as strong in acting on his principles as any of our Senators or Congresscritters in this still-young term.
The writer is totally off base here.
Nothing worse that politicians telling us that we’re sick and tired of partisan gridlock and calling for a “new” spirit of bipartisanship in order to get things done.
Just want to clarify: What you’ll get from them is a self-described “fiscal conservative” PR job. See article for further description of fiscal conservatives.

Tere lies the heart of the problem. Getting more things done but not getting the policy that caused the need to get things done..undone. With good basic policy there is no need for politicians to get things done.
Apologies ...

but ...the nut never falls far from the tree.
The work should be repealing repealing repealing. Canceling eliminating and undoing. Untangling. We are like a fishing reel with a giant backlash.
Amen to that brother! Personally I'm looking for politicians that are telling us how to get things undone. The congress has already 'done' enough damage.
I just think you’re totally wrong, that’s all.
The bureaucrats now have enormous power. Congress writes funding authorization bills and leaves everything to them. It’s been so bad for so long, that Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats swore publicly that that’s the way it’s supposed to work. Once they’ve authorized the bureaucracy to get involved in something, there’s no limit to their rule. Barack Obama obviously thinks so too - like when he told the EPA to inaccurately characterize CO2 as a pollutant in order to take control of market via energy.
Yes, but then after you think about it some more, you’ll eventually realize that I’m totally right. I’ve been down this road many times before. It’s always the same.
Rand Paul is a libertarian, just like his father. There isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between them when it comes to actual public policy.
Of course, like his dad, he dresses it up in some conservative rhetoric. Gotta get elected, after all.
Which, I suppose, vindicates the headline, at least.
I also think a “men’s news daily” makes about as much sense as a “women’s news daily”.
>> Let’s review. There are three major kinds of conservatives competing to control US politics; social, political, and fiscal.
I believe there are two: one fiscal, the other your three differentiations combined.
>> Rand Paul is misleading when he equates fiscal conservative....
I think I missed your thought train...
