A majority of Americans want smaller Gub'ment

.
Do tell!
.
Fifty eight percent of respondents favor smaller government while 38 percent prefer a larger government and more services, according to the poll. The small government preference has climbed 4 points since the last time our pollsters asked the question in June and 5 points from almost the same time a year ago.

A general preference for a small government dates back to 1992 -- as far back as Post polling goes on the question. In the first year of the Clinton administration, 55 percent of Americans wanted a smaller government, while 38 percent wanted a bigger one.

.
I bet they're saying that on these polls, as a repudiation of George W. Bush's fiscal policies and because they're mad at the banks.
.
What? Don't look at me like that. WHAT?!

The idea of a smaller government (for us) dates back to the 1700's

38% want bigger govt? What is the current percentage of blacks and illegals in the country?

AP: WASHINGTON --
For nearly $4.5 million a year, the State Department assigned a 16-person security detail to protect six U.S. contractors in Iraq "who already had a team of hired guards they didn't really need". The expensive miscue is one of many described in an audit issued Monday of a $2.5 billion State Department contract with DynCorp International for training Iraq's police force. The department repeatedly failed to oversee the contract properly, according to the audit by the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction. The findings also suggest the department remains ill-equipped to watch over the vast amount of U.S. money flowing into Afghanistan.

Wait a minute. This must be a misprint. Isn't the State Dept. run by the "smartest woman in the world"? Hmmm $280,000 per person per year. I’m in the wrong damn business.

Spider,
that's not totally fair, there are plenty of white idiots too. Most of the Democrat voters are white, as follows, liberal politicians, liberal college professors, liberal actors and musicians and their drum beaters, the MSM maggots. This of course leaves out the white, middle-class bozos infected with BDS.

The folks you mention, especially the AA community want this, but they have plenty of help in their foolish wants.

Steve, we're not talking about idiots. We're (i believe) talking about people who want bigger govt. so that it can give them more free cheese. And you're right about all those White liberals who also vote for bigger govt., but why. One of their main reasons for voting that way is to make sure the "free cheesers" keep getting that cheese, and everything else that's available.

Their 2nd favorite line is, "for the poor and underprivileged". The first favorite is of course, "for the children".

But I'm not talking about the idiot liberal politicians, I'm talking about the idiot liberal, working voters. The ones who are idiots because they vote for more free cheese, for the poor and underprivileged. And they do exist, they must, there aren't enough liberal politicians, liberal college professors, liberal actors and musicians to get Obama, Pelosi and Reid elected. And beyond my suppositions, I know idiot liberals who worry daily about the free cheese people.
