“The Tea Party is kidding itself if it thinks the size of government is going to shrink. At best it will stabilize. The problem with attempting to “shrink” the government is that those institutions that should be left alone (Army, Navy, etc.) get shrunk as well.”
Wow. Finally some honesty. I hope all Tea Party supporters here backing Santorum are paying attention.

Hey guy, I’m a Newt fan, not Santorum. I just don’t like folks bashing him for being socially conservative.
However, I don’t think Newt is really that keen on cutting the government either. He knows that to get the bad stuff, you will hurt the good stuff like Defense.
The only Tea Party candidate that was in the race was Bachmann and she is long gone. Cain had his own ideas.
Neighter Newt or Rick are adverse to cutting government IF it isn’t some across the board nonsense. I sometimes suspect that many “Tea Party” types just want to cut it all....which is dangerous.
Keeping taxes low.....laudible and frees more money to go into the economy. Cutting government across the board...a very bad idea that is never going to happen. Whether it be Elephant or Donkey.
