A moderate liberal then?
I believe in less government. You support a party that does not want smaller government. Therefore, YOU are the Liberal.

The Dems are wanting to raise taxes, spend all it - and then some
And Republicans want to do the same with spending...
When are you going to realize all the Replicrats are the same.
They may have learned their lesson
Republicans are fighting the record amounts of pork dems are trying to push through
Ted Stevens, a Republican, is one of the kings of pork. You'll never get less pork barrel spending till Stevens leaves.
and Sen Byrd brain from WV
Republicans seem to be trying to prove you wrong
I hope they do
LOL...so you are admitting that Ted Stevens is one of the kings of pork.
If you really and truly believe in small government, you can't support the Republicans OR the Democrats.
END OF STORY.
When have I ever denined Republicans were big spenders?
They may have learned their lesson after the 06 elections
Why do you have to be such a jerk - even when people agree with you?
Because it is ridiculous to say you are in favor of small government when you support a political party who obviously doesn't give a shit about small government.

I would doubt that any successful political party would support a policy of small government. The parties appeal to different voting blocks by promising them funding. The Democrats like funding social programs, while the Republicans like providing welfare for corporations and defense spending. For a small government party to succeed, there would have to be a sizable demographic which believes that essentially no group deserves money, which is a difficult position since it essentially cuts funding for other causes they support. Such a voting block does not exist, so a small government party is essentially politically unfeasible. The best you can hope for is to have one party control the presidency and the other control congress. Then perhaps, in their disagreements, they won't be able to agree on funding anything, and you'll have small government.
The bond market got hammered the past few weeks as interest rates have soared. So the interpretation that the bond market is becoming more worried about inflation is an accurate one.
Yes, and the US is the laggard at the moment.
Even France is beating the US in economic growth.
How embarrassing.
and your answer?
Waste your vote on someone who does not have a chance in hell of winning?
Some Republicans are shwoing signs of progress - but Dems are totally hopeless.
Libs will always look for a cloud in every silver lining. The US is the worlds economic superpower, and the fact Pres Bush and his tax cuts provided the foundation for the growth - pisses them off big time
