I want a smaller government, but I want one that provides sensible and efficient services.

I NEVER in my life would have ever expect to see the words government and efficient in the same sentence... you Republicans are just too damn silly...

face it, the GOP broke the contract with america by increasing the size of government and spending more than any democrat has.. this is why the GOP lost control.. and they will continue to lose until they get back to the contract with America.. I don't like the democrat party either, but if the GOP spends and grows the size of government like a democrat, then wtf is the difference?

What makes you think I'm a Republican? Because I mentioned smaller gov't, and everyone knows that a Dem would never say such a thing?

We have a gov't out of control on spending. I'll cheer any politician or party that will step up to the plate to fix it. But, frankly, I worry a lot less about short term earmarks than I do about the unfunded liabilities of SS and Medicare. And the idea of Universal health care is enough to make me look at housing prices in Costa Rica.

Tell me which party will fix SS and Medicare, and return our health care to the private sector, and I will be there.
