I still think we are suffering the results of an attempt to reduce regulation, and Paul's record goes along with that.

I'm not for Big Government - most issues have more than 2 sides of course, but I am against small government. I prefer smart government or perhaps efficient is another good word for it.

Ron Paul opposes net neutrality, OSHA, and a fairly broad spectrum of safety regulations, just like Bush - resulting in non-inspected imported consumer products laced with poison. In my opinion, this is quite often the result of thinking that business/"The Market" will self-regulate and self-police to prevent problems. Yes, most businesses will not do wrong things because they understand the consequences, but is it acceptable to just hope they all act so well?
