Exactly. I’m convinced that those at the top in the GOP don’t really want to cut government. There are plenty in leadership who just want back in power. Maybe get rid of some of Obama’s mess but as far as really ambitious waste cutting, cutting federal agencies etc they don’t really want any part of it. They want to play the hero without every getting a scratch or messing up their manicured nails and well pressed suits. They consistently try to tell us how conservatives can’t win in the NE or the West Coast or in this or that state when what is more often the case is they don’t want conservatives to win. They want malleable persuadable good ole boys who will compromise principle for the promise of power. They don’t believe that the people are the king makers.
Well I sincerely hope and pray that this next election teaches them otherwise!
Of course the good ole boys don't want to cut the size of government. It cramps their lifestyle and minimizes their power. What g-o-b politician would ever want to do something like that to themselves? Government and the g-o-b's will never put themselves on "a diet" voluntarily. We will have to starve them back down to size -- starve them of votes, starve them of political contributions, starve them of taxes and make them start running around getting lean again, in order for them to get any "food" (votes) at all from us. Meanwhile, we start electing lean, mean machines like Rand as role models for them to follow.
Then and only then will the g-o-b's wake up, get off the sofa and start working for us again, instead of just using us to work for them.
