With all the elderly, around 80% of whom vote, your candidate won't win when he talks about getting rid of social security.
Also, you're equating an EXECUTIVE issue with a monetary one. FEMA is doing terrible because the President hired someone incompetent to run it. The EPA is too influenced by industry. This is a problem with our leadership. You think letting the states handle these issues would fix the problem? If anything, it would be worse.
Then there's the multitude of things we need to fund with the Federal Government which have been listed in this thread many times.
The only people behind Ron Paul are idiot techies on the internet who don't really know how to run a government, and people who are unequivocally against the war to the point where it is their central issue. And just because they're spendthrifts when Ron Paul asks for money doesn't mean he's a remotely good candidate.
I have respect for him because he sticks to his guns, but I won't be supporting him. Though as far as the Republican candidates go, he's the best on their roster.

The scary thing about this viewpoint is that you're trying to say that the only people who know how to run a government are those people who feel that you can only run a government with hugely funded liberal and socialist programs funded by the top income makers in taxpayer funds and that any other avenue of government is doomed to failure because it's idiotic.
the easy translation for this is 'i'm right, you're wrong, get the fuck over it and shut your mouth.' Frankly, i'm damn sick and tired of hearing this kind of shit from both the right and the left slanted people in this country that it makes me hope the civil war starts sooner rather than later. YOU are one of the main reasons that this country not only stays divided in it's purposes and causes, but will continue to become ever more divisive in nature.
