MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Ron Paul shared his views on the war in Iraq, health care and global warming with an audience of New Hampshire voters.

Paul answered questions in "Conversation with the Candidate," an ongoing series produced by WMUR-TV in New Hampshire in which the candidates for president discuss issues on the minds of voters.

The Republican representative said that he wants to bring back the core conservative ideal of a smaller government.

"My main goal to run for president is the same goal I have for all my activities in politics, and that is always to shrink the size and scope of government and to maximize individual liberty," Paul said. "And the trends in the last several years, if not decades, is to expand the size and scope of government and to minimize individual liberty. So, there's a lot of room for improvement."
