OK, so everyone's expecting big gov't from Obama/Biden and democrats and I'd concur with that thinking but the truth is the same thing will come if McCain/Palin win the big prize. The behemoth is a runaway train that both major parties are embedded and indebted too so it just won't change and it will get worse.

Now many republicans will step up and say something to the effect that the ends justify the means but here's the other side of this coin. At some point in time, democrats will come in control of this process, Congress in 2006' a good example and it's still up in the air that Obama/Biden could win out in about 5 weeks. Democrats are constantly in fear of republicans retracting the gov't they've already built but the dems can declare a joyous cry of victory that even when not in power, gov't still grows as Mr. Barnes just pointed out and proudly admitted too.
The way I see it, you are being given 2 choices and that is to jump out of an airplane at 30k feet but in one case you are jumping out with nothing and in the other they give you a small umbrella. Either way you are gonna hit the ground hard.
It's time to make a 3rd choice and that is to not get on the plane at all!
The handwriting was on the wall for all to see in August 2003' when FoxNews/Weekly Standard pudit Fred Barnes wrote the following in the Weekly Standard.
IS PRESIDENT BUSH really a conservative? When that question came up this summer, the White House went into crisis mode. Bush aides summoned several of Washington's conservative journalists to a 6:30 a.m. breakfast at the White House to press the case for the president's adherence to conservative principles. Aides outnumbered journalists. Other conservative writers and broadcasters were invited to luncheon sessions. They heard a similar spiel.
The White House needn't have bothered. The case for Bush's conservatism is strong. Sure, some conservatives are upset because he has tolerated a surge in federal spending, downplayed swollen deficits, failed to use his veto, created a vast Department of Homeland Security, and fashioned an alliance of sorts with Teddy Kennedy on education and Medicare. But the real gripe is that Bush isn't their kind of conventional conservative. Rather, he's a big government conservative. This isn't a description he or other prominent conservatives willingly embrace. It makes them sound as if they aren't conservatives at all. But they are. They simply believe in using what would normally be seen as liberal means--activist government--for conservative ends. And they're willing to spend more and increase the size of government in the process.
