And he says he's a Roosevelt republican, yet anything I've ever read about Teddy Roosevelt is that he was a big government guy.

TR was a big government guy.

I'm more certain of my vote for Perry than ever.

The “big government” of Teddy Roosevelt was tiny.

There ws no income tax, Woodrow Wilson instituted the following in 1913: Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and an income tax.

TR was WW’s political enemy. TR was a strong executive. So were Lincoln and Reagan. Beck has to use TR as a fall guy because TR was the early Progressive. TR was not WW or Hilary Clinton or Obama.
