"A politician will do almost anything to keep their job, even become a patriot" - Hearst
The correct size is a demolished heap. There is no such thing as a good State. That said, I don't think its possible to actually make a minimally sized government without smashing the heap anyway. I cannot possibly imagine a scenario in which politicians actually learn their lesson which does not also have a number of politicians paying for their crimes. That cannot happen with the most powerful military in the world making sure that does not happen.
No I do not think anyone should be untruthful. Winning an election means adjusting your rhetoric to fit what is tasteful for the voters. This is campaigning 101.
You mean like less than 10% of voters, and even less of the general population?
Changing hearts and minds is great, but without actually gaining political power, it accomplishes nothing.
And did sign waving win elections? Passion or intensity is not indicative of victory. Ron's support was deep but not wide. Rand's support will be wide but likely not as deep as Ron's. Rand is seen as the GOP front-runner right now while Ron never was.

That's because you don't understand how politics works... it can be done by people just like us... I would suggest you sign up to take a training course from these guys (which by the way is closely affiliated with Ron): http://www.facltraining.org/facl2/contact.htm

I'm a moderator, and I'm glad to help. But I'm an individual -- my words come from me. Any idiocy within should reflect on me, not Ron Paul, and not Ron Paul Forums.
so he wants to go into the presidential debate full of surprises instead of giving opponents a heads up on where to look for talking points based on the books he reads
what's so wrong with that? too much calculus?
"Let it not be said that we did nothing."-Ron Paul
"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
