PORTSMOUTH — During what organizers described as perhaps the most widely attended town hall-style meeting Ron Paul has held yet, the Republican presidential hopeful said he would “slash” military spending, stated a goal of eliminating the Federal Reserve and took jabs at recent campaign flubs of a fellow candidate.
Paul, a Texas congressman, took a handful of questions from moderator Andy Sanborn, R-Henniker, before opening it up to a crowd of roughly 250 packed into the ballroom at the Sheraton Harborside Hotel. His overriding message was shrinking the government, cutting spending and defending personal liberties. He told the audience the government drains from the economy, distorts markets and has broad impacts when it makes bad decisions.
Individuals, on the other hand, can stand or fall when given freedom to make their own decisions, Paul said.
