Not at all, that's why I am not satisfied following someone who has zero history of accomplishing improvements in the Conservative cause other than attempt to hold back incremental-ism. As Phill Gramm said, he (Paul) couldn't even get bills out of committee because they are so poorly worded and lack any detail as to how to implement.

No, to change the direction, the very first thing we need to do is stop looking for government answers. Imagine what Reagan would say with all these 'Conservatives' looking for someone to say I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Well said, I totally agree. I am a supporter and fan of Ron Paul’s positions and ideas but I will say he doesn’t lay out a plan very well on how to implement them effectively.

“other than attempt to hold back incremental-ism”

...mainly because the incrementalism was in the direction of increasing the size & scope of the federal government.

Name one major domestic program that has been reduced in size or dismantled since we had control of the executive and Congress.

“we need to do is stop looking for government answers”

That’s just a bizarre comment, considering that real conservatives, constitutionalists and libertarians want the government to stop “providing answers” (ie. unconstitutional spending). Regardless, I can’t ignore a government whose spending and monetary policies are making it almost impossible to save or help create a future for myself, my wife or my children.

You certainly seem to follow Paul enough to have him on your Google News Alerts and to monitor that stupid ronpaulforums site.
