That for the most part, our elected officials are no more interested in protecting and defending the Constitution then they are in not getting re-elected seeing to it that government gets smaller every year.

There, perhaps that explains my viewpoint better.

I appreciate the clarification and I appreciate the want for small government, but as I said before -- It is up to the people to decide what official canidates best protect unalienable rights.

The R politicans were ahead of the electorate when they gave us the Contract with America in 1994. Clinton and the media then proceeded to smack down the Contract over the next year and you know what? A year later, the majority of the electorate didn't give a crap about the contract -- so why should the R politicians GIVE A FREEP!
