Small Government Key to Ron Paul Campaign
December 22, 2011
The number Republican candidates hoping to run against President Barack Obama next November could fill a president's Cabinet. But political analysts are especially watching the three that lead in opinion polls: former Massachussetts Governor Mitt Romney, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and U.S. Represenative Ron Paul
.
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul thinks so called "radicals" have spent too much money and created too huge of a government bureaucracy. He is anti-war, anti-taxes, and opposes federal regulation of issues like seatbelts and illicit drugs. He promises to cut $1 trillion out of the U.S. budget in his first year as president.
"In my proposal, my budget I want to cut hundreds of billions of dollars from overseas. We have to quit this spending. We have to quit this being a policeman all over the world. We don't need another war in Syria, another war in Iran," said Paul.
Ron Paul grew up in America's heartland - Pittburgh, Pennsylvania - when it was known as a steel-making town. He solidified his political views during his years as an obstetrician, a military doctor and now in Congress. His associates say his Midwest roots shine through.
"The most extraordinary thing about Ron Paul is his integrity," noted Carla Howell, executive director of the Libertarian Party, which embraces many of Paul's philosophies. "The Ron Paul you see on stage or on camera is the same Ron Paul you see in a meeting of a group activists or walking down the hall with them. He's the real deal. He's very genuine."
