Which do you you prefer? personally I'm all for LESS Government in my life. I don't need some harpy Acorn clone peeking over my shoulder on everything I do.

I suspect those who are for big government are all for it as long as it is looking over everyone elses shoulders but theirs.
I say there is no "acorn" anything looking over your shoulder and you are trolling the boards. Am I close?
I didn't know ACORN had any intentions of looking over my shoulder.
In the words of Stephen Colbert, "A government that governs least, governs best. Any by those standards, we have set up a terrific government in Iraq"
I think that a small government taking care of 300 million people is wishful thinking. No, I don't want a socialist government nor do I want a government with as big a role in our lives as, say, the French. But I think that complaints against Obama's health plan are mostly ill-founded. The health insurance has signed off on it. The American Medical Association signed off on it. What now? I think everyone's signed off on it except the Republican party.
I haven't met a single person on the right who can actually tell me WHY they are against the expansion of the government's role in healthcare other than their simple, idiotic populist banter of "small government" or "Obama's a socialist". Not one visible person on the right has come out on TV or the radio and outlined the economic weaknesses of the healthcare bill. Instead, they fixate on calling Obama a socialist or a bolshevist, and a 3rd world president (latent racism there? i think so)
The healthcare bill passed... not because Dems did a phenomenal job, but because Republicans acted like a bunch of sore losers and did a very questionable job combating it.

So much truth in your statement, as long as Big Gov is looking over someone elses shoulder, people are fine with that, but the minute it is the opposite, watch freaking out.
If wanting the EPA, FDA, SEC, Interior Dept., etc. to be around to do their job is for 'big' government... I guess maybe I am. And the departments I listed aren't about freebies.....
