A Message That is Loud and Clear

"I have a message, a message from the tea party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words: We've come to take our government back." -Rand Paul

It's not hard to figure how Rand Paul won his U.S. Senate primary in Kentucky--mainstream values. Quotes which once would have sounded boring and trite now sound new and fresh in an age of Washington-imposed leftism. How many politicians are willing to say the following?

"America can prosper, preserve personal liberty, and repel national security threats without intruding into the personal lives of its citizens."

"Like other areas of the economy where the federal government wields its heavy hand, health care is over-regulated and in need of serious market reforms."

"Long term incumbency leads to politicians who seem to care more about what is best for their career than what is best for their country."

"Lowering taxes gives working men and women the ability to take control of their own lives. It allows business owners to invest in their companies, pay their employees, and create new jobs."

"With our national debt over 12 trillion dollars, the deficit spending by Washington DC continues to mortgage fruits of our future labor to fund federal programs we don’t need and cannot afford."
