but if we had the option of voting for someone who was simply for SMALLER, LESS INTRUSIVE GOVERNMENT and was capable of clearly stating so, then that candidate would win in a landslide.

Hear hear. But alas, the GOP establishment appears to have given up on anything even resembling limited gov't advocacy. The last GOP candidate to make it the centerpiece of his campaign platform was Reagan, and of course he won in two landslides.

President Ronald W. Reagan was BOTH a LIBERTARIAN (Smaller-Gov) Conservative and a STAUNCH SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE: "Most" freepers forget this fact (either "intentionally" or just from the lapse of Time: I have not)!
