Ron Paul is the closest to the founders as we have seen.
Benjamin Franklin had as our motto: “Mind your business” stamped right on some of the early Continental Currency...
That is exactly what we need. A lot less government!
Bachmann, Santorum and Paul really should be the only candidates conservatives should be supporting at this point.
Amen. The party is committing suicide again, preparing to coronate another reach-across-the-aisle cretin (Gingrich). Bachmann is the most thoroughly conservative on all the issues, but the inside-the-Beltway establishment and its useful idiots have "decided" that she is to be ignored.
As for Paul "not wanting to defend America," I doubt that. He simply does not want us to waste our limited resources defending people who contribute zilch to our own survival. G.W. Bush and his nation-building neocolonial wars are what opened the door to the White House for Baraq Hussein 0bama.
