Open up your eyes and you'll see that the era of small-government Republicans ended with Barry Goldwater, with a brief coughing spasm, quickly medicated, during the Reagan years. Both of our two major parties work tirelessly to expand government and erode freedom.
I am a small-government constitutional purist. I am not a fascist, communist, socialist, empirialist, or big-government anything. Most of those 'isms' are implied in the term 'liberal' these days, even though in the strict definition being both liberal and conservative are good things.
For you to blithely clump me in with the 'libs,' in today's parlance, proves that you haven't been paying attention. The only place I'm not considered an ultra-conservative fundamentalist is here on AFF.

It is just a horrible mess and I believe it is both parties at fault. We need a President that can manage all of this and not just do what has always been done.
Somehow we have hopes that Palin will come in and do what she has done in Alaska, try to reform. I know it was a process. They cut their earmarks in half. You can't just totally quit them, without working out other factors, but it was a beginning.
It's just that Washington changes you.......
