People don't like to vote against something that's so incredibly popular.
From Rand Paul
You know, you look at term limits, you poll term limits, 70, 80 percent of Republicans or Democrats are for it.
Everybody is looking for an election where they can do something and participate.
If you force legislators to balance, at the end of the day, if it has to be balanced, then they step up and they become legislators and can find out where to cut.
Republicans traditionally say, 'oh, we'll cut domestic spending, but we won't touch the military.' The liberals - the ones who are good - will say, 'oh, we'll cut the military, but we won't cut domestic spending.'
We don't need bigger government. We need to shrink the size of government.
What I say is, national defense is the most important thing we do in Washington, but there's still waste in the military budget.
You need to have people within your own party that have the wherewithal to stand up to you.
You don't win as a party unless you become a bigger party.
You don't go into politics unless you want to win.
