Point - counterpoint

Daniel Blatt aka Gay Patriot asks Why do some Americans who favor “smaller government with fewer services” continue to back Democrats?

Dave Schuler of The Glittering Eye tells Why We Must Change, but on the way does a pretty good job of explaining why there isn’t much chance that, regardless of who is elected in November and regardless of intentions, we will shrink the size of the federal government appreciably.

So I guess Daniel's question is answered: no one seriously believes that a change in the governing party will really cut down the size of the pork barrel.

So there.
