Ugh. After the great conservative years of the 90's, where our entire movement came together, I never would have guessed that electing a Republican President would mark the complete death of the small government conservative movement that began in Goldwater's failed presidential campaign and culminated in the Republican takeover off the Congress.
Of course, I'll vote for Bush over Kerry, but I find it truly depressing that everything I grew up standing before has so quickly been destroyed. The era of small government is over.
