You mean with regulations on abortion, contraception, vaginal probing, marriage, and drug use? Oh wait...

Yes, and what you can eat and what you can smoke and what you can drink and when you can open your store and what products you can sell and what wages you can pay and what profits you can make and regulating kids lemon aide stands, etc, etc.

I will note the inconsistency in your words, however. Stating abuse will definitely occur (...one person or group...D or R...), precludes small government from solving much, by way of abuse of power, anyway. "Small" is a subjective term, as well. Your idea of small may be another's idea of large, and vice-versa. "Keep government small" makes for good talking points, but is horribly vague.
government is too expensive, too many people taking out of the till and too few people paying in. Government wastes too much money, it gives too much money away too.

Look at all the interest that is being paid (wasted money). Government needs to cut back everywhere. People need to get a job so they can also pay taxes and contribute to reducing our debt.

I am a Liberal and do not trust the government at all. I trust the private sector even less.

lol. When people starting using Warren Buffet as an example, you know the thread has jumped the shark.

Default because they're Obaaa-mabot sheep

For a misedumuncated liberal, thinking for yourself is so overrated.

These are all the same issue, the life of an unborn baby: "abortion, contraception, vaginal probing"

Are you trying to tell us the democrats have not made any of those issues something they think the federal government should control?

Sounds like you are in love with Obama

"He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms"


Rufus Wainwright - Bewitched - YouTube

"Lost my heart but what of it
He is cold I agree
He can laugh but I love it
Although the laugh's on me"

If we all ran our own homes the way Obama & Co. are handling things, we would be bewildered no more - and broke!

"Wise at last
My eyes at last
Are cutting you down to your size at last
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more

Burned a lot
But learned a lot
And now you are broke, though you earned a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more"

Oh brother. Looks like you punted the ball, and it's only second down. Is that all you got? Pretty pathetic, imo.
