The GOP has been around for over 100 years. They claim to be the "party of smaller government" and claim to oppose the big-government policies of the Democrats. They've been presidents, governors, and at times have controlled both the executive and legislative at the federal and state levels. During those times when they were in power what sort of progress did they make reducing government?

The last major tax cuts have come from the GOP, the welfare reform act has come from the GOP, the GOP stopped hillarycare dead in its tracks. The GOP stopped most of the clintonian bs.

The GOP has appointed judges that have pushed back the tide of judicial activism and GOP governors around the nation have demonstarted that smaller and smarter gov. can work. And the liberatarians? Nothing.

Let me repeat for the hard of hearing. Nothing.
