“Too many on here don’t want smaller government, they just want the government to waste tax dollars on what they want.”

Your candidate Ron Paul is no exception :

He had a half- billion dollars of special interest earmarks over the last two years . One for two million dollars was for bike racks, trash cans, and decorative street lighting in one of the cities in his district.

Actually Ron Paul has made note of his earmarks himself, it’s his way of getting money that was taken from the citizens of the state of Texas by the federal government through oppressive taxation back to Texas.

That’s not big government, try again.

I think the main argument against Paul is his batty ideas on foreign policy. I wish he weren’t so batty on this stuff because he’s actually pretty good on the other stuff.
