Steve,

I like what Ron Paul has promoted, but who is to say that if he were elected he wouldn't turn into the same type the rest have. Remember, we have had people run and get elected based on that idea and the first thing they do is forget all about it. Crap, our darn Govt. is so big now they outnumber the people. Get rid of all the Congressional aides, no congressman needs 21 of them, and then get a whole new bunch in Congress along with the White House. And put term limits on Congress. Remember, no matter who is President they can't do anything unless the Fat Crooks in Congress go along with it.

Ron,
It is certainly possible that he could turn in to the same type as the others, but he has spent many years in Congress and he has not yet. Besides - the others are already there so there is no point in voting for any of them.

I agree - any President is going to be stuck with a pathetic Congress.

Mike,
Our government is 'by the people'. If the people want it to shrink, then they are the ones who have the power to do it.

Regarding judges - MA had that problem recently. Everybody accused the MA Supremes of being activists and changing the will of the people regarding gay marriage. The MA Constitution does not allow for any discrimination based on sex, so they had no choice. The voters are allowed to change it, but in order to do so they also have to allow discrimination based on sex. Having more personal freedom and responsibility is what this country is founded upon.

Regarding defense - Ron Paul wants to secure our borders and has an 'America First' defense policy.
