My point was that many Freepers agree with Ron Paul on these two issues, but if you can find me one conservative candidate who ever talks about TSA overreach, or the causes of the housing bubble and our recent economic crash, I would appreciate it. Mr. Gingrich just seems wildly tainted by the whole GSE thing, and he approves of them.
Ron Paul is a Jacksonian Democrat -- he's a man without a party, though. And Andrew Jackson's decisions led to the terrible panic of 1837, because speculation in the state banks got out of control. I don't know that Mr. Paul's Jacksonian solutions are necessarily the answer.
