One of my favorite bloggers said this, which is true even of my mother (who swears she is a democrat, but watches Fox news religously and hasn't voted democrat in I don't know how long). I think these words essentially sum up what most of America thinks right now, "Everybody likes the idea of smaller government until they see it." Bingo.
"I keep telling my conservative in-laws that they really don’t want smaller government. They just want to pay less taxes, which I can understand. Everybody likes the idea of smaller government until they see it."
