The real problem was we GOT less government at that time and people DIED!

And the preamble to the Constitution
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Your writing: “has gotten thousands of Americans killed or sentenced to a life missing body parts in a war that was based on lies? That let Americans die in the flooded streets of New Orleans and still hasn’t provided adequate help to the survivors? That has failed to competently run any department of the government? That has ignored our Constitution? That has presided over the worst economy since the Great Depression? That has transferred our tax dollars into payoffs to corrupt and sleazy corporations via ‘cost-plus’ contracts? That refuses to do anything about rising gas prices?” fits in nicely with one of the dominate conservative (not republican) themes – Less Government.
I say if you want more responsible govt, reduce its size until it is managable and responsive. It ain’t the Republicans that are the problem, it’s members of both parties. The reason your guys can’t muster foaming rage is because they belong to the same club as my guys. Some proof of this is the way the border has been handled, the law ignored and unenforced by either a majority of republicans or, now a majority of democrats. And concerning Katrina, who says the Fed Govt should try to be a first responder in the first place, a gaggle of black children screaming into the camera, “Help me, help me…”?
No, we need less govt so it will be more visible, manageable, and responsive.
With this in mind it boggles me a little that you dems are calling for free health care. Don’t you see the track record of the fed govt in health care so far – terrible, wasteful, uncaring, shameful? How could you want more of that?
And wasn’t Bill supposed to bring about a “new democrat party”? He didn’t. No, your very words support my notion that less govt will benefit us all.
