"Smaller government" is just something they use to get votes with. Since they have an irrestistible urge to control people's private lives (so much for "limited government") and to misuse government to promote THEIR religion, larger government is inevitable from them.

Because more government will make this a more Christian nation!
Look at the size and power of the federal government -- why not use it to make the country more civilized in a Christian way? Why, we could pay the churches to take over some of the welfare programs. We can scare teenagers into abstenance instead of immoral shortcuts like birth control. "Everyone" knows that prayer is the answer to AIDS.
So conservatives want a goverment that's a little bit bigger and has people with a LOT MORE FAITH serving in it.

I am not a member of any political party... but as an objective observer , I have to tell you that it is always the democrats/ liberals who want more government.. not the conservatives.. you have it the wrong way... do some political research... the democrats/ liberals have always loved government control and intrusion. as well as raising taxes to fund more government programs.... conservatives have their own issues as do all political parties, but this is not theirs - this issue belongs to the other side...

My feeling is that it is not about QUANTITY or QUALITY. It is however about STYLE of government. A government of POWER and CONTROL. Nothing more and nothing less.
I am the Fringe and I don't like where things are headed.

Because they are sheep. They need Big Brother to tell them what to do and what to say and how to think.

Hence my leaving of the GOP.......
Smaller government is what they promised....a regime is what they delivered.
