You see this all over this forum.

We need to get back to small government.

We are not r****t, but Obama has to go.

Take a look back to the late 50's & early 60's & take a look at George Wallace.

Could not get elected as a Democrat while being an out & out r****t.

Changed his message. Change his party. Talked up his message as small government. Same message but the white Southern v**ers got his hidden message, r****m.

Even Barry Goldwater picked up on the Idea. Didn't do him much good though.

The small government talk has not changed much since then.

The talk may change as advertising psychologists adjust their theories. The intent and action will not. There is no down side to large Gov. - to those IN it. Until the majority of Americans abandon long established v****g habits, nothing will change but the rhetoric.

Some on the right like to look bad to the U S Constitution in talking about small government but forget the Constitution replace the Articles of Confederation for the simple reason the founders of the country found they needed a larger federal government that the Article allowed.
