Who is talking about the Democrats? The RP "won in a landslide." IYO who is effectively making the argument for small government?

"The RP won in a landslide."

Do you truly believe that your basic, run-of-the-mill voter out there has any opinion on smaller government?

Nope.

They barely recognize the names of the people involved in the main event, and guess at the undercard. Meanwhile, they keep voting bigger, and bigger government in via laws and referendums.

Let me give you Florida as an example.

Jeb Bush is the first Republican governor to be re-elected in the history of the State (I am pretty sure of that), so you would think that Floridians are ready to embrace conservative principles, wouldn't you?

In fact, they also voted in every single referendum, and law in the ballot...including a class-size reduction mandate that will cost the State nearly a billion dollars to implemement, and more entitlements for senior citizens.
