Since when do Repubs dislike big government? Look at the last 3 Repub presidents ....Reagan, Bush Sr, and little Bush......all have grown government to huge proportions, all 3 added huge gains to the national debt because of gross government over spending. Repubs pushing for small government is a typical campaign talking point with Repubs but history has shown the American people that it is talk only.

Stop the cliches. Define "Big Government". What does that mean to you?
Is it having Social Security?
Is it having roads maintained and new ones paid for?
Is it having a strong military maintained?
Is it having giving tax breaks to small businesses?
Is it giving tax breaks to businesses to establish itself in your town?
Who wouldn't want those things?
Or is "Big Government" just a straw man statement for those things that YOU don't like having government pay for?
Don't perpetuate disinformation. It degrades public discourse. State what you don't like or want to change and work toward that end.
Here endth the lesson.

Recent studies show that people defining themselves as "liberals" have an incredible capacity for denial. For example, liberal feminists (including Gloria Steinem) will blindly support Bill Clinton, many looking forward to getting him back into the white house. All this while he has credible allegations of serious sexual assault going back to 1968, and that's just whats on record. To this day he has not denied violently raping Juanita Broaddrick, yet he still enjoys the full support of the liberal feminist faction. This is indeed a strange phenomena, it seems that nothing is too bodacious, Al Gore invented the internet, Sandy Berger accidentally stuffed large numbers of secret documents into his pant-leg, on numerous separate occasions, (readers, please feel free to continue this list) etc.. Yet they continue to assert their notion that they are right, all the time, and anyone that disagrees is wrong, period. Indeed, one could honestly conclude that Hillary Clinton could doubt the sunrise, itself, and she would garner ample support.

I only hate people like Dick Cheney and George Bush (check out how he got wealthy with the Texas Rangers sometime) who get rich because of big government,

No. That would be petty, just like the cons who hate Dem's just for being Dem's.
