First, let me just say I'm not looking for an argument of whether people agree with Ron Paul's ideas. I like a lot of his ideas and while he may not be my first choice he is definitely at the top of my list.
My question:
A coworker of mine was talking about how he supports Ron Paul, so I joined the discussion. At some point in the discussion someone brought up RP wanting to eliminate many government agencies (FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, etc.). Then this coworker claims he has never heard any such thing. Even said he has never heard anyone talk about him suggesting that. I informed him that it was indeed true and that as a true constitutionalist, Ron Paul believes the fed gov should only do what it has power to do granted in the Constitution.
He still doesn't believe me. I even directed him towards a google search and pages and pages of people discussing this. However since I haven't produced a quote from the horses mouth he refuses to believe this. Given the huge amount of Ron Paul talk on the internet, its difficult to find specific things.
Do any of the supporters here know where I can find his official stance on this? It really ticks me off that someone who claims to have done research on a candidate can be so naive of what a candidate stands for (whether you like it or not).
