Millions of concerned Americans found their voice in the Tea Party movement and have rallied to support one of its most vocal champions, Rand Paul. In NOT POLITICS AS USUAL, Senator Rand Paul describes how fear over big government might have inspired the Tea Party, but also demonstrates how this grassroots movement is independent and critical of both parties-- and why it must remain so.<br><br>Paul took on the Republican Party establishment-- from the Kentucky and national GOP machine to the former vice president-- to win underdog victories thank to an electorate eager for real reform and fed up with politics-as-usual. Bank bailouts, bankrupt entitlements, borrowing billions from the next generation to pay for this one-- Paul takes these problems and more head on, offering conservative correctives and sound solutions.<br><br>An opthamolologist by trade, Dr. Paul's prescription of "constitutional conservatism" harkens back to the Founding Fathers and the Republican Party of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. NOT POLITICS AS USUAL is custom-made for Americans looking to the wisdom of their forefathers to address the government and economic madness of our times.
