initiative to shrink the government

How does he want to go about that? Genuine question. I haven't kept up with his stuff.

CK97 · April 06, 2015, 11:44:14 AM

I'll more than likely be voting for him.

Naoto · April 06, 2015, 12:06:06 PM

I take it as a good thing he isnt like his dad. Ron Paul had some insane ideas. Like defunding epa along with half of the rest of govt agencies.

Rand has been a bit more sane, and has been leaning more moderate than any other conservative I'm seeing so far.

Some detail on his platform:

Good on some issues, iffy on many others. I wish we'd see some socially liberal/economically conservative politicians in the mix.

Hillary Clinton. She'll do a 180 like Obama does, I guarantee that. With Cruz, you won't get anymore or any less from that dude.

Rubio? Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory on everything from immigration to State of the Union rebuttals?
