Where has that gotten us? A government that is bigger and more intrusive than ever.

I think we can all agree that in the short-term, our government's growth is in the upward direction. We can choose slower growth by electing a Republican, or we can split our base by considering Bob Barr (who is a good man, btw), or deal with an upward spiral of growth made possible if Hillary or Barak Obama are elected.

We did. It didn't work.

“I think we can all agree that in the short-term, our government’s growth is in the upward direction.”

In the SHORT-TERM? Whats that, since 1913, 1916 ? FDR?

When exactly did the government not grow?

News flash. Non-defense welfare spending grew faster under Bush and the Republican Congress than it did under Clinton or Jimmy Carter and their Democrat congresses.

Vote for Barr. If Obama wins, at least it'll wake up the GOP and leave behind a party that actually backs up its rhetoric. I'm baffled by conservatives who want to elect Republicans who are more pro-government than Democrats.
