Elected officials advocating limited government as a guiding principle have found it nearly impossible to put into practice; it has become an empty slogan. Does that mean that the idea of limited government is passé? No, it just needs to be kept in perspective. The real issue is fiscal responsibility. Limiting government is just one method of attempting to be more responsible with our hard-earned tax dollars. Economics has become the overiding issue for voters. Disappointed with the downturn coming at the end of the current administration, they are ready for change. Will an Obama administration with Democrats in control of the Senate and House lead to a more fiscally responsible government? Possible, but not likely. Money is not everything. Given current poll trends, Obama and the Democrats will be given opportunity to show what they can do on all fronts. For the sake of America, I pray it turns out well. If not, the American electorate can voice their displeasure in future elections.

If Republicans want smaller government then they should vote Dem - Reagan increased size of government and deficit; GHW Bush increased size of government and deficit; Clinton reduced size of government and deficit; GW Bush increased size of government and deficit. See the trend?

I'm very concerned over how big government has become and was disappointed to see both parties voting in favor of the bailout. This has served as a wakeup call. For the first time, my vote will not be cast within the two party system. Personally, I believe decisions are being made in a hasty fashion with some causing a great deal of harm to our liberties. It takes far more time to overturn these previous efforts and results in waste and ineffiency. It is better to be slow and deliberate in making choices that stand the test of time epecially for those that seem so "urgent". Measure twice and cut once. Big decisions warrant more time, not less.

The website is brilliant. I was shown and told about you in thought/dream state and then searched for you online. I have been doing the rainbow healing on myself since and love it.

Our guidance frequently said that the information contained in the newly discovered, yet very ancient form of color remedial was major, but "just the tip of the iceberg." They were right, of course!. Rubic <a href="http://mls.fastrealestate.net">mls</a>

These politicians are always been a source for trouble for the country but it is the fault from the people which does not compel them to rectify their mistakes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacob <a href="http://www.fastrealestate.net" rel="dofollow">fsbo</a>
