Old woman? First you ask me to keep a civil tongue with you, and you come back with that?

All right pal, I see how you would like to play this.

Elected? What effing good is it to vote for a bunch of sisies who are afraid of doing the job they were elected to do? You really think most people out there WANT more government intrusion in their lives? Is that why more than half of the elligable voters in the US stay home? Is that why more than half of those left voted for a Republican running on a smaller government campaign?

You have still yet to address Republican campaign promises to reduce the scope of government, and how you translate this to mean that We the People want more government. Especially in light of the big win just handed to the Republicans.

They won due in part to the message of smaller government. Own up to it, or that support will evaporate.

Or would you like to contiue trying to come up with idiot repsonses that are blatantly untrue?

Yes.

Precisely. They are content with the government and see no need to change it.

Half of half is a quarter. So a quarter of people voted for a candidate whose party is for smaller government. The debate over small or big government has been waged for over a hundred years, and the vast majority of people have said "Big Government". We need to change the public's perception of what smaller government will mean, but we must first recognize that we are in the minority view in the general population.
