Paul Ryan voted for TARP, not to mention all the other anti-conservative votes he's made in the past.
You need to talk about Governor Gary Johnson. If America has a candidate worth voting for in 2012, it's Governor Veto.
The federal government is already much too big.

RE "The federal government is already much too big."
It is probably not much comfort to you, but the federal government is smaller (2,840,000 nonmilitary employees in 2010) than-- surprise!-- before Reagan was president (2,875,000 nonmilitary employees in 1980)-- even ignoring population growth of almost 50% since then.

Now I find out that the Jerusalem business is in the Democratic platform too.
Why don't we just declare that Vancouver is the capital of Canada and Nice is the capital of France and Hamburg is the capital of Germany.
