I think you're wrong on this point. Most liberals want more gummint and most people on the right want less. I wish the govmt would get the hell out of my life and I also think people have to determine their own destiny. But my observations of the left are that the congresspersons think they are the only ones that can be trusted with the keys to government and they should be the ones to take care of the people. Thus their liking for more and bigger government programs. It's also my observation that the liberals will say and do anything to get back or retain their power, whether what they say/do is good for the country or not. And they don't mind lying or shading the truth to accomplish that. _______________________________________________ [email protected] Unsub/Pause/Etc : http://mail.linux-sxs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general
