Telegraph: Rand Paul receives standing ovation as he delivers libertarian message to New Hampshire faithful

Taking the stage to a background of thumping music, Mr Paul received standing ovations before, after and even during his address. One crack, aimed at Hillary Clinton – “she travels in two planes, one for her and her entourage and another for her baggage” – even drew applause from one of the waitresses serving coffee to the party faithful. In common with his rivals, Mr Paul delivered a low tax, minimal government speech. He attacked the last two Republican nominees for the Oval Office for failing to promise lower taxes in their election campaigns. But then he diverged from the views of many present as he made clear his opposition to surveillance – something which many Republicans believe is vital to the country's security. “It is none of the government's damn business what you are doing on your phone,” he said. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/republicans/11547436/Rand-Paul...
