Rep. Paul, who is one of four remaining Republican candidates for president, disagreed Monday afternoon. Paul said after he confirmed the incident involving Sen. Paul on his Twitter page that it showed why the TSA should be eliminated.

"The police state in this country is growing out of control," the elder Paul said in a statement released by his presidential campaign.

"One of the ultimate embodiments of this is the TSA that gropes and grabs our children, our seniors, and our loved ones and neighbors with disabilities," he continued. "The TSA does all of this while doing nothing to keep us safe. “That is why my ‘Plan to Restore America,’ in additional to cutting $1 trillion dollars in federal spending in one year, eliminates the TSA."

For anyone baffled by the continued support for Ron Paul, I ask what other candidate will speak this candidly and forcefully about our federal government? If Newt or Santorum would adopt these ideas, they would get probably half of Pauls current supporters.

No doubt about it, when Paul is right he’s right on the money....and he’s not bashful about sharing his thoughts.

Too bad he comes off as a quack and is so woefully wrong on Foreign Policy.

End rote enforcement!

Newt in particular has a GOLDEN opportunity here. He could speak up on Sen. Paul’s behalf on how the TSA is out of hand. Even proposing what Senator Paul’s own father has, which is to turn over most or all of the TSA’s functions to the airlines themselves...is a winner.

He could endear himself to some Paul supporters by coming out in support of his son, and score a big one for liberty at the same time.
