Ron Paul
Remember, politicians get votes by promising everything to everyone, always at the expense of some other invisible taxpayers.
Ron Paul
After years spent in Washington, I have become more aware than ever of the government's ineptness and the likelihood of its making mistakes. I no longer trust the U.S. government to invoke and carry out a death sentence under any conditions.
Ron Paul
