Comment: Would I be here?

Would I be here if Ron said as president that he'd continue to fund social security and medicare even though it's unconstitutional? Yes. Would I agree with Ron that political will needs to be ammassed to change such things? Yes. Would Rand Paul as president be a huge step in ammassing the political will to bring the troops home and shrink the government? Yes. So I don't know what your issue is. Ron himself said he'd still fund unconstitutional things simply because we need to take the steps to change things. We can't simply be purists to the point that we can't form the coalitions of influence required to make those changes.
