We supported the GOP and we kicked Democrat butt.

Yes we did.

And now we have given Bush the power to grow the size and power of the Federal Government beyond what it has ever been and he will use that power. Big Brother just got bigger and more powerful.

God bless America!

I hope he does, we need all the help we can get.

Given that the choice was between a fast-growing Big Brother government run by Bush & Co., and a fast-growing Big Brother government run by Gore/Clinton & Co., I have no trouble regarding the outcome as a huge victory.

I think most of us on FR would like to see a smaller, less intrusive government than the Republicans currently promote, but we also recognize that it wasn't possible to achieve that in this election cycle. The best we can do is gradually keep moving the arguments between the parties further and further in the right direction. That has been accomplished for this election cycle; now we have to get to work and push it further in the next one.
