I would add two things to what Rush has said.
First, government is only supposed to do the things we agree government is supposed to do. We agree that government is supposed to build roads (even though they all seem to be built by private businesses).
When de Tocqueville made his survey and wrote about it in Democracy in America there were businesses making profits here but there were no government police and no government schools.
ML/NJ
I’m not satisfied with any of the presidential candidates, either. If Palin should join the fray, I think she’d be closer to my views than any current candidates, and she doesn’t have the very heavy baggage of implementing a state health care plan, or of a very weak record on illegal immigration.
I’ve always like Palin well enough, but have never been one of her ardent supporters.
she got rich on her own. i bet her income according to obama is above $200k. that’s rich. unless she is saying someone else took her classes, tests and passed the bar for her.....
For what it’s worth.

BlogPimp Alert: It’s my own writing. She’s provided me with frequent subject matter this year.
Quite a woman. Completely unreflective. Not a self-critical bone in her body.
I like the writing- and you can pimp that blog all you want. I’d rather we promote our own interests than some big news organization.
Thanks for the compliment.
It’s an honor to stand against her and the Statism she represents. We=together=government=cough up your dough.
I only wish I could trust Scott Brown.
He graduated? Did anyone witness that? Really the only written material that ties 0bama to being the editor of the Harvard Law Review are his parking tickets in the Cambridge/Somerville area and the apartment he lived in at the time in Somerville.
I had one class with him. He was in the year ahead of me. Carol Platt, who was an editor at HLR and now blogs for Town Square has written that he was a chief who mostly worked at home—a euphemism for leaving the hard work to others, like her.
He was around. He was a big man even then, someone who the faculty was grooming for big things.
I remember him speaking at rally lionizing Derek Bell for his decision to take an extended Sabbatical at Columbia or NYU in order to protest HLS’s failure to hire “a woman of color.” That was one of the big issues back then. (Lani Gunier was hired shortly thereafter.) He introduced Bell to the crowd saying in Jacksonesque cadences: “He made his name by standing up when he was told to sit down, and sitting down when he was told to stand up.” The predominantly black crowd really whooped it up. He had them.
BlogPimp Alert: I blogged about this era (1991) on 8/9/11 after WSJ’s Brett Stephens wrote “Is Obama Smart?”. With apologies: http://nomansays.blogspot.com/2011/08/is-obama-smart.html.
