If you are tired of big government interfering with the way you live your life, vote for the Libertarian candidate for President:Harry Brown. Brown's campaign promise is to greatly reduce the size of the Federal government. The federal government has expanded well beyond its purpose as spelled out by the Constitution. You might think that a vote for Harry Brown is a wasted vote because he has no chance of winning, but a vote for anyone else is a vote for big government.

They may have a few good ideas.......but what the hell could they get done if elected??????? Not much if anything! The House and Senate wouldn't allow anything he wanted to acheive be done just out of scheer contempt for him!

gov has gotten out of control in a lot of ways, but reducing it to levels that he suggests would throw this country into chaos.

I do agree with him on decrimminalizing soft drugs though :)

I haven't bought into the "government is bad" poopoo.

Just an other irrational myth.

Just when I begin to think that maybe moonbeam has a lick of brains, then he goes and proves me wrong....

look around.

The war on poverty, the war on drugs.... and has education improved since the feds got involved a few years ago? (The dept. of Education has not always been around) 7

The government is not my daddy.

If the founding fathers were brought forward into the future to the present they would both be amazed and utterly shocked by our country today. We have acheived so much it is truly remarkable! Everybody is provided an education, our system of transportation is excellent as is public transportation in many places. The feds come to the aid of the states when disaster hits (e.g. flood). We have a growing economy (unemployment is down, inflation is currently whipped, etc.). The amount of information sharing we enjoy is astonishing (media, 'net, etc.)

Yet they would take a look at the size of our *federal* government and faint. They'd see what our political system has become and decry it. They'd look at the average family's tax burden (40-50%) and probably have heart attacks. They'd look government programs that simply should not exist, others that are mismanaged and even more that waste taxpayer money. And they'd see we appear to lose a freedom every day and on that issue they'd shed a tear.

So the federal government is both bad and good. In my view it has exceeded its bounds and has already overtaxed us and legislated too much morality. No amount of spin can fool me into thinking otherwise and you'd be a fool is disagree with me.
