You clearly have no idea on what RP preaches as well.
Big gov/power corrupts ALL. Hence the need for smaller state control themselves. IIRC in the 20th century government has killed 200 million. (60 million alone in china) Do you really think a few small states having skirmishes are going to have that kind of a death toll? REALLY?
If a big army goes around patrolling the world how do they fund themselves? Certainly at the expense of everyone else. It just doesn't work.

Yes, people would argue what is the right path yada yada yada... but the thing is this, we live in a world where it is impossible to exclude yourself (country) to the others. See what happens to North Korea, its people are starving to death and its economy in crap state.
Thus, for a country with military power like the US, it is absolutely essential for them to enforce that we advance the world in diplomacy talks rather than just pure craze of self-interest. Do any of you want to have a world war every few decades because of countries with different interest?
As far as presidential candidates, I don't think the size of US govt is the problem. The problem is that the govt is interfering too much with the market. They allow huge corporations to exist even their business model is proven to not work. This act eliminates the possibilities for young and new minds to enter any business and improve them. Before any new business can get anywhere, they would simply be shot down by corporation's $$$. If that didn't work, corporation would simply make the policy maker on their side by either altering the law or bring so many lawsuits to new corporations in dispute like patents to block them out.
This is not how a free market economy should work. And it's sad that we allow our govt to do sth like this and argue it as "at the best interest of our people".
