Authoritarian and statist??? Surely you are joking? The guy that wants to get rid of entire departments, who has fought the EPA his entire career, was the man standing between Clinton and his f’d up Crime bill as other republicans wilted, the guy who laid waste to Slick’s socialized medicine proposal, the guy who has valiently fought to cut every single benefit from illegal aliens - not to mention deport them, the guy who gets a fat ZERO rating from environmental groups, the guy with a perfect record on the 2nd amendment and property rights? That statist?
I gave two examples: No Child Left Behind and Bush’s massive leap to socialized medicine, prescription drugs. Hunter supported both. I note that you ignore these stands....which pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?
