One candidate on this national stage wants you to give him power. He tells you he is rich, so he must be smart. If you give him power he claims he will fix America, but there is another tradition in America. A tradition that believes that power corrupts, and that our goal should be not to gain power but to contain power or limit Presidential power. Our founding fathers feared centralization of power. They wrote the constitution to restrain the accumulation of power by the government. Trump is ignorant of this tradition, or worse yet, he is overtly opposed to the limited government tradition. This race should not be about who can grasp the ring. Electing Gollum should not be our objective. This race should be about which candidate will best protect you from an overbearing government. I am the only one on this national stage who really doesn't want power or dominion over you. I want to set you free, I want to leave you alone, and I want a government so small you can barely see it.
Rand Paul
Sure, but like the rest of the candidates, most of their promises are well intentioned goals, but they have to overcome the entire Bureaucracy , The Military Industrial Complex, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve Bank, The government unions, and the MSM.
The FRB only makes money if the government borrows more. They will kill anyone who gets in their way, even (and especially) Presidents.
Learn the difference between your and you’re.
It’s behemoth.
Gosh, I must have missed the never ending filibusters by Rand in the Senate in his crusade to end unlawful regulation, confiscation of private property, etc.
It is amazing that the Senate can accomplish anything with his daily efforts to block all legislation that continues the big government that destroys private rights and enterprise.
Oh, right, it’s Rand. Sorry, I’ll be quite as he deposits another million into his account on a 175k salary.
Leviathan too
.... So Trump who is willing to sacrifice 4 to 8 years of his life, when he can make more and loves what he does as a businessman.
I am so sorry you drank the koolaid. If you only look at the trash he is throwing at Cruz you would see if he is typical politician who makes Huck look like an amateur.
Ted took out a secured loan. So?
Ted does not believe in government subsidizing ANY business and that government should not pick winners and losers. DT has doubled down on more ethanol to win more more Iowan votes.
The BC? Only a fraction of trumpees have fallen for that which DT admitted during the debate he was bringing it up because Cruz was gaining in the polls.
DT now has establishment support. Why? They figure he will be easy to deal with and they are right. You aren’t gonna get half what DT promises if he is elected.
Electing Gollum? What? James Carville is running for President?
Lol, what a silly child he is - petulant barely scratches the surface.
