"Conservatives want less government unless it's government telling other how to live their lives - like who to marry, how many kids to have, which drugs to take (hint, anything made by Big Pharma is ok with them), which God to worship. "
Bullshit. You are buying into the leftwing spin machine. You can't tell people how to live the lives without an enforcement arm. You can't force people to buy a certain product without regulations. Let me give you a hint on who wants that: We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. - Barack Obama "Maybe you missed that entire religious right thing." Maureen, your reasoning is better than that. While the religious may be on the right, it doesn't mean the whole right is religious. Similarly, the freeloaders, socialist, and communist may be on the left but it doesn't mean everyone on the left is a freeloader, socialist, or communist. "Oh, and wars..they have absolutely no problem increasing the size and cost of government to pay for endless unnecessary wars." Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. You seem to confusing Republicans with conservatives. And, none of the things you mentioned could not have happened without the complicity of the Democrats (and you forgot that Libya was not a Republican deal). I vote Republican most of the time. My reason: The Republican party sucks less than the Democratic Party. It still sucks though.
