Re: Some thoughts on Iraq, the GOP, and Ron Paul
Republicans don't want a smaller government. They want less taxes and less social welfare programs. They believe this is what constitutes smaller government.
However they would rather turn around and spend that same money, if not more, on the war on drugs, the military, border security, subsidies for corporations, etc.
That is not small government that is big government repackaged.
Ron Paul does not represent the current Republican Party views but one can hope he strikes a chord with a lot of disenchanted Republicans.
