So he says debt is our biggest national security risk, but supports the empire that is largely responsible for it? OK...

 

[Jeremy]

Ouch. There are plenty of better candidates to support IMO.

Lol, not at all.

 

[YankeesJunkie]

The plan is supported by the libertarian block in Congress.

Cutting 1% of federal spending per year is definitely better than 0, but considering how much could and needs to be cut right away 1% just does not seem aggressive enough when there 70 billion to cut from the Dept. of Education and foreign aid which is 4% of the federal budget right there.

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

I confess I am moving away from Ron's foreign policy just as Thomas appears to. But I am not moving towards somebody else's foreign policy either.

But even if Massie is just playing politics, good for him.

He said cut foreign aid in the video. The guy is an active member here, I think he knows what real cuts are.

Um when did he say that? O_O Did you even watch the interview? He said end foreign aid: stop building other countries while we can't rebuild our own.

I have talked to him numerous times before, but his answer concerning Ron Paul is troubling. I hope he clarifies his positions (that will ultimately decide my donation).

And still he doesn't endorse Ron Paul for president?

All he said was he doesn't agree with all of them. Neither does Rand. I'm sure he is very similar; he echoed Ron's view of Afghanistan in a recent interview.

He is definitely an attractive candidate who would benefit Congress, however the "penny plan" is too modest and if he would explain other cuts that he would like to make it may enlighten me.

Yeah, he was iffy on Ron...but in the next sentence he said we should stop all foreign aid.

 

[SpicyTurkey]

I do understand his hesitance about endorsing a candidate. After all he is running for an office too, and his support of a particular candidate might turn people off. We all know who he really supports. Lets leave it at that. I will donate to him after all. GOOD LUCK THOMAS!

You are being far too critical of a guy who is running on a platform of less spending. Just because he doesn't bring up every single thing he wants to cut in a 10 minute video, you think there's a problem? It's a plan that Rand promotes and I'm sure Ron supports as well, by the way. Even Ron's plan in his POTUS campaign is self-described as modest.

So this guy is the best non-incumbent "liberty candidate" for the U.S. House? Is B.J. Lawson running again?

Do you plan on changing things by electing one liberty candidate?

B.J. Will win for sure if he decides to run again. I have a feeling. Thirds the charm.

So this guy is a member here but disagrees with Ron's foreign policy views and doesn't necessarily support him for President?

 

[Adrock]

The question wasn't if he endorsed RP. The interviewer asked if RP was the presidential candidate he agreed with the most. He pretty much gave the same answer Rand does.

Please wait for him to explain instead of criticizing him for one of his first TV interviews.
