The turn will come when we entrust the conduct of our affairs to the men who understand that their first duty as public officials is to divest themselves of the power that they have been given. It will come when Americans, in hundreds of communities throughout the nation, decide to put the man in office who is pledged to enforce the Constitution and restore the Republic. Who will proclaim in a campaign speech: ‘I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel the old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is ‘needed’ before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents’ ‘interests,’ I shall reply that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can.
Barry Goldwater..
Only one man has held to this princple - Ron Paul Republicans might have lost their way and for yet another presidental election Ron Paul will continue to try and remind them WHO THEY ARE!
Its time to restore freedom and liberty and end this madness.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Great joke. You should take the next bus to Vegas!
Dude I'm in Vegas. I sang the national anthem at the republican debate the other night. Michele Bachmann tried to hit on me afterward. Girlfriend couldn't take a hint; I don't play for that team.

But we all know that Goldwater lost big time to President Johnson. So decades later I'm not too surprised that Ron Paul is struggling in trying to do better than he did in 2008. So I reckon both men have come before their time.
