That's one thing is certain the era of big government will not be over President Obama is replaced by a president Romney or a president Gingrich.

Speaker Gingrich would like you to believe he is different that he really stands for limited government.
And last night's debate Gingrich claimed it was an early supporter -- Barry Goldwater in 1964.
No one finds that hard to believe that Lew Rockwell founder and chair of the -- -- institute.
And they one time volunteer for Goldwater's campaign.

I would say the analog of the Ron Paul kids we're working our hearts out for Barry Goldwater and working against the new -- -- of the world.
-- Newt Gingrich is not only.
A person who supported -- Nelson Rockefeller against Barry Goldwater.

President Obama and whatever he plans to say tonight delivering the state of the union or a president Gingrich a year from tonight.
Delivering a state of the union.
I actually think Gingrich would be worsening just as Obama has been significantly worse than bush so would Gingrich be significantly -- Obama.
Number because he has these says he busy puts of these grandiose ideas.
For a so called national greatness meaning.
Vast new federal programs are going to the moon and all that sort of thing -- he's not going on the voyage but he he advocates that sort of that sort of -- So he wants a much bigger government I'll I also think he's got to collect them many neo conservatives -- -- crazy -- them.
Mean when you see him talking about how we ought to be a new king Iran and all the other wars he wants to -- of -- who wants to keep the current wars going he believes in the police state.
He believes in the TSA feeling everybody up.
He believes in our emails being read our phones being listened to.
Incredible disastrous.
Scary police state apparatus being built in this country.
So I I think that unfortunately as a Republican would be able to get away with more than -- -- and able to get away with all the Republican.
I'm thinking types would be backing him just because he has an.
Thank you judge the revolution continue.
