I’m surprised nobody saw this coming

... as I recall, everyone saw it coming. Fred's a federalist. Like abortion, he was sure to take this position.

It was also obvious that big government conservatives would be taken aback by his principals.

Trouble is ... 'big governmentism' is so ingrained throughout our thinking that we don't recognize it in ourselves. We call others 'liberals', 'democrats' or 'RINOs' when they want big government solutions we oppose; but when we want a big government solution for something we want, we still think of ourselves as 'conservatives' ...

I think 'evangelical southerners' are not so backward that they won't see the wisdom of his approach and why it's really better than the alternative.

Tell Dobson that. Im surprised to see he has so many followers, but it appears he does , given the polls. Thompson's gay marriage stance is hurting him, no doubt about it.

Which Unconstitutional Federal Programs is this Not-A-Big-Government Fred talking about undoing?

I haven’t heard a Reaganism out of him on any of those issues.

All I see is a Big Government Confederate.
