What limited government really means
Obviously everyone here already knows, unfortunatly way too many people don't know the real scary meaning of limited government. It means, empowering corporations to be able to do whatever they want!! The democratic party needs to do a better job of getting the word out. "Limited government" still sounds welcoming to a lot of people. Pretty scary.

I have more confidence in government than ever, mainly due to more powerful computers and huge advances in information technology/ Analytic software. should enable governent for function more efficient than ever, provided we keep the religious right/ morality freak wack jobs out of power.

1. It fools people because they misunderstand what's being limited.
GOP policies limit government's ability to interfere with corporations -- not individuals.

They often limit government's ability (financially, at least) to help people.

That's what gets limited.

Not nearly so attractive when looked at in a clear light.

2. I've never heard a demoratic politician try to clarify people on this and set them straight..
very disturbing. Democrats keep allowing their own constituants to me misled.
