The Pauls are not neoconservatives, that is for sure. They are traditional paleoconservatives.
There are few politicians we'll agree on everything with. I think that political parties are just dangerous hiveminds. Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, ALL parties are inundated with dogma.
My votes go to politicians who are sincere, honest, and intelligent. Not to republicans or democrats.
I agree, I think that there shouldn't be parties. Representatives should be individuals serving their people.
However if you do away with parties, you are not that far removed from China's one party system. Which isn't heralded as a utopian government by any stretch.
The problem is not that there shouldn't be parties, but rather there should be LOTS of parties, all with an equal say and equal potential to gain office. Power brokering should happen not by party, but by the issues. There should be no majority whip or minority whip. If you need an example of how extreme the parties power goes, try to remember who was NOT invited to any of the presidential debates. (Hint: there were more than two presidential candidates)
