Lewis said he’s running on a Tea Party platform. He wants “life for unborn babies who are being massacred by abortion, liberty against enslavement by socialism and justice for those wronged, especially babies,” he said.

If elected, Lewis said he will work to phase out Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Lewis called Social Security, “a government Ponzi scheme.”

David Lewis told Fox News' Neil Cavuto that he hopes to defeat Boehner in the Republican primary by running on the tea party platform.

"John Boehner is a socialist," Lewis explained. "I'm not calling him names."

"It's an economic policy. I'm not calling names," Lewis insisted. "Here is someone that refuses to phase out Social Security. What I would do as a U.S. House member is work to phase out Social Security totally. 100 percent. That includes Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps. These are socialist policies."
