Here is a strict constitutionalist and true fiscal conservative running for the highest office in the land at a time when we can settle for no less. I don't mean to sound partisan here but I really enjoyed listening to Dr. Paul on the campaign trail.Unfortunately, most people didn't hear from Dr. Paul very often on the TV during the primaries.

You come home from work and the house is way to warm. You just got out of an office that was too warm so your definitely not going to put up with that shit at home.
