Ron Paul Sees Trouble When 'Government Protects You From Yourself'

Ron Paul cut through the rationales of Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich on health-care mandates Saturday night.

"You're in big trouble when you have government protecting you from yourself, and that's what they're doing," Paul said to enthusiastic applause at the ABC debate in Iowa.

"Why should we have a candidate who has to explain their position on this?" the Texas congressman and former Air Force physician asked.
