His stance against the fed.
Though I would not describe his stance as "against" wall street; he just doesn't want to give them any benefits. His stance is "non-interventionist"
Stance Against Big Govt. in General covers quite a bit.
Tough decision between that one and non-interventionism, but if you count foreign intervention in with big govt. then the decision becomes easier.

Yeah I meant the kind of symbiotic relationship wall street and the fed have. The bailouts, the endless supply of paper money, wall streets excessive piece of the pie -- a pie that was created by the government.Originally Posted by Cutlerzzz

By big government I meant wasteful and excessive departments and redundant bureaucratic agencies, along with the ever increasing police state.(Department of Education, TSA, etc...)
By foreign intervention I meant things along the lines of propping up or toppling dictators, giving billions to certain favored states, building military bases all over the world, etc...

Constitutionalism all the way. That encompasses all of the rest of it.
Ya the problem is the different 'interpretations' of the 'general welfare' clause and whatnot.
Not trying to suggest that those interpretation have any validity, but they do exist unfortunately..

It's his philosophy on liberty.
I invited me! What are you gonna do about it?
"Vote for me, I'll be less greedy than the other guy!"
^^
Pretty much that.
2nd Amendment and Civil Liberties is what first attracted me.(not on your list)
His opposition to pointless wars and support for the Constitution both impress me.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

It's all about Freedom
Agreed, just wanted to get a little more specific here. Not a professional pollster so I realize it's not perfect.
