I thought Ron Paul sounded a lot like Bush in 2002.
A few quotes:
Bush Campaign Promise 2000: “If we don’t stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we’re going to have a serious problem coming down the road.”
Bush Campaign Promise 2000: “And after we fund important priorities in the ongoing operations of our Government, I believe we ought to pay down national debt. And so my budget pays down a record $2 trillion in debt over the next 10 years.”
Bush Campaign Promise 2000: “What I think the president ought to do [when gas prices spike] is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots...And the president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price.”
