Jesse Helms supported Ronald Reagan in '76, despite the know-it-all's grief over the fact that these conservatives would dare challenge the status quo of the G.O.P.

yup, Helms definitly was for states rights, and a small government Republican.

There's getting to be fewer and fewer of 'em. I'm noticing a growing number of Republicans who are now quite content with, and even encourage growth of the Federal govt.
