Although he’s still a long shot to win the GOP nomination, Congressman Ron Paul’s limited-government stance is resonating with voters and even some parts of the media. A clear change from the gimmicky “compassionate conservative” shtick of the current Administration, Paul’s message of limited government and lower taxes in order to get government spending under control makes most small government conservatives nod in agreement. Although, I can’t agree with all of his stances (returning to the gold standard, the concept of a North American Union), he makes a lot of sense on the whole.
