Helland said that in 2011, the legislature "deappropriated" $500 million over three years from programs such as state-mandated pre-school, government employee benefits and other programs that usually cause an outcry. Helland, who is the majority whip, said that on the Monday after they announced the spending cuts, he got back to Des Moines and "braced" himself for news of outrage from other state representatives who had spent the weekend meeting with constituents.

"They came back and said, 'We talked to our voters, they want to cut more,'" Helland said. "It was paradigm shifting. The voters started actually saying, 'cut.'"

This is something gradualists do not want to admit, but was always true: they need the revolutionaries, and indeed they constantly benefit from the revolutionaries' activities.

I am so enjoying the disruption Paul is causing. He's the high colonic that the republican party has needed for a long time.

Increased hope that he'll push the Mittens campaign harder to the Libertarian/Right. Also, if he follows the GOP trend of picking the VP as an actual #2 man in the Executive Branch, like (for better or worse) Cheney was on AWOT, but on fiscal reforms... Maybe VP Ryan isn't out of the question yet.

I would find it interesting if Paul somehow got the nomination at the convention.

The press would have their heads asplode.....

[just Warren]

That would be brain-frosting on the awesome cake.

Well, yeah.  "Deal with me, in the Armani suit...or deal with HIM, in the Wookiee suit..."

I must buy a wookie suit one day.

It is kinda like a Corvette:
By the time you can afford it, you won't be able to appreciate it.

.....or VP Rand Paul.....

The GOP Convention might be worth watching after all....

Rand doesn't deserve VP.  I'd like to see him win KY governor or make a run for POTUS.

VP Ryan, VP Paul - just remember that anyone who pairs up with Romney will be forever paired up with Romney.

Ayup, that's why Sen Paul doesn't deserve VP.

Dan Quayle is still around. (maybe he's even matured a little)

Why in the world would anyone want to jump on a sinking ship

Why does everyone want to drag every young and promising "just-got-elected" Republican out of their first term and throw them to the wolves of a national campaign?

.....or VP Rand Paul.....

Way better than that: Chairman of the Federal Reserve...
