Instead, today's Republicans appear just as anxious to invoke the heavy hand of government as Democrats maybe more so.BUMP!!

Somewhere, I think here, was the claim that our current George has created more federal jobs than Clinton?
Could that be true?

Let me second that BUMP! I see Republicans not only embracing big government, but embracing the idea of the infallibility of big government! It's scary to hear people who are supposed to be on the same side as you champion police who shoot innocent people because "that's just what happens in the line of duty"....

Until we return the educational system to local control, the dumbing down of the youngsters will continue and so will acceptance of big government.

I am very confident that if George Washington, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, James Otis, Paul Revere, Sam Adams, and the rest of those great patriots of yesteryear were alive today, they would be treated by our own government the same way they were treated by old King George of England: as traitors and criminals.
Yet, the real traitors and criminals are the ones in Washington and other places who have worked (and are working) feverishly to dismantle and destroy the fundamental principles contained in our U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence.
If despising an overbearing, overreaching, Orwellian-style federal government complete with its "swarms of officers" intent on harassing and stealing my liberties makes me unpatriotic, then I will gladly wear the moniker.
Oh' Chuck was doing great until he has to start with this nonsense. Yes, we have a massive government that needs to be sorely down sized. Yes, there are traitors and criminals in D.C. not all of them.
Chuck, seems to forget the "we the people" put these people in government, nobody is forcing the citizens to elect sleazebags like the Clintons and Dassholes.
When enough of "we the people" have enought of big governement "we the people" will put an end to it.

It's happening even here in our election in NC. We have a Republican candidate (the 'annointed one') and then we have other republican candidates (true conservatives). Big difference. It's just as scary to hear those are supposed to be conservative championing candidates who could truly care less for the conservative movement yet I'm supposed to vote for them to 'win back the Senate.

The leftist Republicans will be on this thread soon, speaking in generalities and attacking all posters who aren't on the big government bandwagon.
You're to cheer while holding your nose or be set upon.

The GOP has convinced many people of that truth about big government and taxes and, as a result, it seems that many tax payers now want to take advantage of those big government socialistic handout programs in return for those high taxes they pay. These are the same handout programs that non tax payers get, that illegal aliens get, that freeloaders get, etc...and the taxpayers want their share for once, so it seems. Did the truth backfire? Can we really blame hard working tax payers for feeling that way? Only a large reduction in taxes will change that mindset. No one party alone can make it happen, and don't count on the Democrats to help.

Agreed.
I think breaking the Union/Government/Leftist hold of the minds of the future is one of the most important thing Bush needs to do.

attacking all posters who aren't on the big government bandwagon. Then the abuse button will get hit a lot.

The left has infiltrated everything from the media to grammar school. Do you think they have not infiltrated the Republican party?
I voted for Simon over Riordan. Some don't agree with that, oh well.

Can't count on the Republicans either.
Nor them 3rd party wannabes as they can't muster enough votes to get elected so they can have the power to change things....
Gosh what's a country and it's people supposed to do? If'n we could only go back to the old'n days of yore when things were so simply.

"Patriotism seems to have taken on a strange new definition. Love for country has been replaced with love for big government."
Pretty much sums it up.
