Katrina Response Mismanagement

[Morrigoon]

iSm: remember what kind of Republican I am - small government. When was the last "small government" Democrat? Oh yeah... never! No wonder I don't approve of most democrat actions. That, and your legislators are whiny (man, I'd have had to throw out my tv if Lieberman got into office... 4 years of his ugly mug whining on the boob tube and I think I'd have to retreat to a Montana cabin).

But that's also why I've not been nuts about the recent Republicans. They're all Democrats with a bible thumping influence.

I want a goverment that will get the hell out of the way of business, my life, etc. I don't want them taxing me to death, or creating a prohibitive mess of regulations preventing small businessmen from entering the market (regulations have an effect of supporting the large corporations already operating), telling me who I may marry or what I may do with my own body, or giving all my hard-earned money away to someone who'll use any excuse not to work. Oh, and I'd like to see farm subsidies cut way back - if our farmers can't compete on the world market, then let's buy produce from the 3rd world countries who can produce it efficiently, and let us focus on things we do well. Besides, it'll make the economy better for those countries we buy from, which means we can send them less aid.
