They're all jumping on the bandwagon.

After he talks about "energy independence" (very pro-government intervention), he starts taking some cues from Dr. Paul.

Talking about lowering taxes to give people freedom how they spend their money, getting the government out of education, and allowing personal accounts for Social Security (still socialist on SS, though). He then goes on to decry Health care being controlled by the government.


He's catchin' on, I'm tellin' ya! (or at least his viewpoints are, of course they won't actually go through with them - you can't lower taxes without cutting spending!)

bump. I know it'll make some people mad, but it shows that we're actually winning, when people start taking our ideas for their campaign.

Actually I thought those are core conservative positions.

They are, but since when were any of the candidates speaking about them or substance in the first place? The whole campaign was about trivia, likeability, and foreign policy (being "tough on terror"). Nowadays, actual substance is leaking out every once in a while (along with minimal lip service to the constitution).

Well, I guess Giuliani understood ,at last, that saying 9/11 million times doesn't win a nomination. *shrug*

The message is being borrowed in order to splinter our vote. Don't believe for a second that they really mean it.

Look at our current president and his 2000 campaign if you need any further proof of this.
