Sounds good to me.
Excellent! Now there’s some damn ‘hope and change’!
It’s a start...
His daddy might be somewhat of a kook, but, maybe, Rand could be presidential material. I’ll withhold judgment until I watch him more closely.
From what I see so far, I LIKE it.
Eliminating 4 agencies is just a good start!!!
APPLAUSE!!
Next should be Foreign Aid to all Third world countries. It is just a waste of our dollers - buying off dictators and such. They will turn on us in a second!
Paul/Paul 2012!!!
NO to Ron Paul. He’s kooky.
I prefer Palin/Paul 2012. It has a nice alliterative sound to it.
It’s a good start. I’d also like to see a law saying that every budget passed must cut the size of the federal government.
The Kooks are the ones who think he is a Kook. It is more apparent every day.
It certainly needs to be re-evaluated and I think we should give a lot less foreign aid, but some of it is actually spent in our national interests. The problem is that we don't attach enough strings to it, or cut it off immediately when the foreign country stops being grateful.
I like Rush Limbaugh's standard, which he gave on Monday:
Any country receiving aid must have a five-year track record of supporting and speaking positively about the United States. Every time a country fails this litmus test, the term starts over. In other words, that country would have to have five years of support and positive comments about the United States before they would be considered again for aid.
Mr. Paul forgot about the departments of Interior and EPA.
I thought libertarians were concerned about private property but I guess not. At least I was when I was a libertarian, but I guess times change and libertarians now lean more towards fascism.
Ron Paul is not a leader for reform. He’s played the role of smash mouth against the Rino’s show for decades.
Rand could lead a new majority in Congress to actually reform the government. He could extend the GOP’s life.
The Rinos are not going to have any of it, though. They won’t even agree to get rid of Obamacare.
