This may be difficult but work with me here paragon. Obviously you think we need a big bloated federal government. You like the way money is taken from you and your state and given back to all states as Washington sees fit. You love that federal regulation and oil and farm subsidies and the TSA. If we didn't have a federal income tax there wouldn't be pork barrel legislation, which obviously you support.

Abortions don't normally take place in the bedrooms, not until they are banned.

What the hell does that mean? Why is it not a good idea to be on it? You'd rather the government just print money when they need it?

I think you are misstating Paul's position.
