Look, after listening to the Goldwater/Reagan stuff for like 40 years, the American voters gave the GOP a chance to put up or shut up in 1994 by giving them control of the House and Senate. In 2000, American voters doubled down and gave the GOP the White House, too. In response, America got, among other things, the K Street Project, Jack Abramoff, Duke Cunningham, a disasterously managed war in Iraq, Gitmo, Abu Graib, Foley and his pages, and an orgy of earmark spending the likes of which nobody had ever seen.

The conclusion? All that small government and limited spending rhetoric was just bullshit the GOP foisted on us to gain power. Right? Oh, no? Then prove it.
