"Ron Paul argues for small government in New Hampshire
PETERBOROUGH, N.H. - Texas Representative Ron Paul said tonight that he was not worried that government bureaucrats would be laid off, under his plan to cut $1 trillion out of the federal budget in one year.
“Some would be laid off, but economically there’s a big difference between a bureaucrat who hinders productivity than people in the workforce who actually produce goods and services,” Paul said.
The comment was part of the small government message that Paul, a Republican presidential candidate, delivered to an audience of about 500 people at the Peterborough town hall.
Paul also said he believes the United States should allow young people, under 25, to opt out of Social Security. To tide over retirees during the transition, he said he would cut overseas spending.
He stuck with his traditional message of a limited foreign policy: “Stop the drones. Stop the bombing. Bring our troops home.”
The man almost makes me cry as his lone voice yells into the political winds of war.
And he counseled self-sufficiency. Asked how to make people live within their means, Paul responded that people would be more cautious if they did not always know government would take care of them: “If we didn’t have bailouts, dependency on government, welfare for the rich, food stamps for the poor.”

But the Globe did print this:
"The poll of likely voters in New Hampshire’s Jan. 10 primary found Romney maintaining a strong lead with 38 percent of the vote, followed by Gingrich at 20 percent, Huntsman at 13 percent, and congressman Ron Paul of Texas at 8 percent. All other candidates were below 3 percent. Only 11 percent of voters polled said they were undecided....
Translation: the rigged voting machines of New Hampshire will dump Ron Paul down to fourth.

I no longer believe mouthpiece media polls, and here is why.

Not anymore.
Didn't miss this, either:
"Gingrich said he believes regime change is necessary to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons....
Good thing they aren't building one.
Gingrich also warned of devastating consequences to Israel should Iran get a nuclear weapon. Gingrich said if Iran fires three nuclear weapons at Israel, that would be the equivalent of another Holocaust. Gingrich said an Israeli prime minister would be thinking, “Am I going to take the risk of presiding over a second Holocaust, which would mean for all intents and purposes the end of Judaism on the planet?’’
That is so over-the-top Newt should be ashamed of himself.

Ron Paul has it right: this whole drumbeat for war on Iran is insane!

Update:
"Ron Paul’s unusual contribution to campaign literature: a family cookbook" by Shira Schoenberg | Globe Correspondent, December 15, 2011
Take three tablespoons of wholesome family photographs and mix with a teaspoon of Bible verses. Pour over several dozen recipes from family and friends. The recipe makes one piece of yummy campaign literature: The Ron Paul Family Cookbook.
The cookbook, distributed free at campaign events, is the newest addition to Texas Representative Ron Paul’s Republican presidential campaign. It is perhaps the most creative – and entirely positive - piece of advertising out this cycle.
That is what is SO APPEALING about Ron Paul -- and something the s*** mouthpiece media and its whore reporters can not understand.
The cookbook features an essay written by Carol Paul, or “Mrs. Ron Paul,” as she’s called. Carol Paul tells the story of her husband’s early life, as the son of a dairy operator and a homemaker. He was raised with a work ethic, she writes, “that you worked six days a week and went to church on the seventh.” Growing up, the now-representative delivered newspapers, worked in a drug store, and delivered mail during the Christmas holidays. Carol asked Ron to be her escort to her Sadie Hawkins-style 16th birthday party. “Don’t tell anyone – but I asked him,” she writes. Readers learn about Paul’s collie, his first house (nicknamed “the Doll House”), and his move from Detroit, where he was doing his medical residency, to Texas, where he was sent by the Air Force (no more snowsuits for the children!).
Of course, for the gastronomically inclined, there are recipes from family members and supporters, for everything from pepper steak to warm sautéed bananas. There are even chocolate mint cookies.
Web version adder:
Yum.
That's what I would think of a Ron Paul presidency.

It's not what I think of the Globe. Their cooking makes me ill.
