Do you want the government telling you how to live your life?

Do you want the government telling you how to live your life?
Do you want the government telling you what is right and what is wrong?
Do you want the government telling you what you can do and what you can't do?

No, you don't.

You want to live your life as YOU choose to live it. You don't want "Big Brother" looking over your shoulder telling you how to raise your children, or what clothes you can wear, or what music you can listen to. You don't want big government. You don't want politicians deciding how you have to live your life. YOU are in control of your own life, NOT the government.

Please tell me why Democrats aren't saying this every time a camera is pointed at them ?

[Kierkegaard]

1. Because the cameraman would have already been instructed

to look around for a dead white girl about the time the Democrat made it to '...what is right..."

2. This talking point would galvanize every American to the Dem that says it

[Kierkegaard]

4. Yeah, but again, how would we ever know he/she said it?

First, the 'Librul' media isn't going to sit still for a statement like that. Second, if it were even possible to get enough uninterrupted time to say all that, the reich wing monkeys would have unlimited rebuttal time to ridicule and twist each and every word.

Without true 'fair and balanced' media, we are at a distinct disadvantage.

3. Because the Democrats are almost as complicit in this matter as the 'Pugs

Bill Clinton started this off by continuing to rev up the War on Drugs, slowly but surely eroding out civil rights. The Congressional Dems have been extending this by voting in favor of such things as the Patriot Act, the Dept. of Homeland Security, the IWR(which is what Bush is basing this travesty on), the nominations of Roberts and Alito, and just yesterday, the renewal of the Patriot Act, whom Bill's wife voted in favor of.

They are also complicit by their continuing silence. While a few brave souls scream to high heaven about this, Kennedy and Feingold being the most notable, the rest remain disturbingly quiet on these matters. Rather than taking to the bully pulpit and beating the President over the head with club after club that this misadministration has handed them, they remain silent.

This is just one more example of the two party/same corporate master system of government that we live under now. The opposition is but a token, and fades quickly into the background. These so called leaders of ours have enough money and power that the measures they pass will not effect them. But sadly, we are left to bear the full brunt of the consequences, whether it is domestic spying, decreased freedom of speech, or a woman's right to choose being taken away.

The reason that the Dems aren't speaking out is because they are bought and paid for poltical whores, whose silence and complicity has been paid for with corporate lucre.

Just one more reason we need a real opposition party in this country, not the token we have now.

6. Don't be a a victim of "framing"

Everything you listed IS what I expect gov't to do...... They're called LAWS

If by "big government" you mean a cost competitive, economies of scale solution to generalized problems which the private sector has failed in, can't or refuses to address, then YES, I AM for "Big government".

If you mean government helping businesses and individuals - YES, I'm for "big government"

Everything you quoted is a Republican "frame".

7. Clearly you dont get my point.

The Dem just says those things.

There is no need to clarify.

Say it and get voted in. Dumpublicans don't need clarifications or context or details or any of those "annoying" things.
