Most people also seemed to think Iraq had WMDs.

This reminds me of the potatoe wars in Idaho where the growers formed some kind of coop or union to represent their business. Government thought it was wrong for the farmers to set their own prices for potatoes, but it was ok for large conglomerates to give them pennies for each potatoe. There seems to be no fairness in trade other than rip off the little guy.
Big government is only bad when.
1. Youre paying for it
2. Someone else is getting the benefits
The problem isn't so much "big government", but government being big in the wrong areas.
I remember back in the summer of 2007 seeing a sign at Walgreen's that the price of a gallon of milk was raised due to state minimum price laws.
So while financial institutions were busy destroying our economy the government was too busy setting the price of milk to stop them.
You must be confusing me with a Republican.
madison's views changed over time you know. and he rejected a stronger States' rights amendment in favor of implied powers.The document that gives the govt any power, constitution, enumerates... let me say that again enumerates (go look up what that means if you're unsure) what powers the federal govt does have. And regulating the price of milk isn't one of them. Lets take a little trip back in history to 1829 when Madison (who wrote the constitution) explained how the commerce clause has been twisted to mean exactly opposite of its intent. James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell 13 Feb. 1829Letters 4:14--15 For a like reason, I made no reference to the "power to regulate commerce among the several States." I always foresaw that difficulties might be started in relation to that power which could not be fully explained without recurring to views of it, which, however just, might give birth to specious though unsound objections. Being in the same terms with the power over foreign commerce, the same extent, if taken literally, would belong to it. Yet it is very certain that it grew out of the abuse of the power by the importing States in taxing the non-importing, and was intended as a negative and preventive provision against injustice among the States themselves, rather than as a power to be used for the positive purposes of the General Government, in which alone, however, the remedial power could be lodged.
one problem is that jimmy duncan can never be president and he's the closest to libertarian in congress followed by walter b jones.
Agree with this. Jimmy Duncan is a great choice but he won't run. He was also a big supporter of Ron Paul and is serious about stopping big government.
"Most people" re-elected barry sotero based on his record of nothing achieved. In other words most people are stupid cows easily led by their noserings. Consequence of intentional, planned dumbing down of education.
