Yuppers.  Even if I didn’t agree with him as much as I do, I think we really need a President who’s gonna try and cut Government, since both Democrats and Republicans are focused on adding programs now.

What I’m saying is that I think having a President trying to cut Government and a Congress trying to build Government would balance things out.  The crazy cuts that I love but everyone else believes (and probably rightfully so Tongue) would bring on the apocalypse, wouldn’t get support in Congress, but the pork barrel spending, of any kind, would be vetoed.  Hopefully, what we could get is cuts everyone could agree to, and spending only when completely necessary.

If you didn't agree with him as much as you do, you wouldn't think you need a president who will do that. Tongue

So, what you're saying is you’ve finally figured out that I'm incredible stupid and very poor at getting my point across.  Hooray for you! Roll Eyes

No, I'm just kidding Tongue  Man, I haven't posted on this forum in a long time, and at the risk of going to off topic, how is everyone? Cheesy

Anyway, what I meant what more from a Republican standpoint.  I think a lot of Republicans would like to see someone more libertarian than Bush, but not someone as extreme as Paul.  What I was saying is that Paul's extremism would work well to create a balance between the way Government's going now, and the way Paul wants it to go.

Unfortunately it will more than likely just lead to nothing getting done at all since, as a rule, politicians don't compromise, (I pretty sure that’s in the constitution,) and because 99% of the time I am wrong, as anyone who remembers me will tell you.  Both of them.
