...Barry Goldwater once described his political philosophy by saying, “I have little interest in streamlining government or making it more efficient, for I intend to reduce its size.”

...I have no hero's, but I loved Goldwater. Is there anyone that emulates or embraces this philosophy?

maybe Ron Paul deserves another look? I know he is crazy, but he is a small government guy, just saying.

Goldwater's 1964 campaign slogan: "In your heart, you know he's right"

His opposition turned that into: "In your guts, you know he's nuts,"

See any similarities in how the establishment fights back against any threat to their big government power?
