People delude themselves that Republicans and Democrats are so different, they're not, both parties are pretty much the same...career politicians (something the founding fathers would be repulsed at), who allow themselves to be bought by any lobbyist or special interest group. Politicians no longer serve the electorate, they serve the money machine that needs to be fed to keep them in office, and the founding fathers would bitch-slap 98% of the politicians that are in Washington right now.

Oh BS. Jefferson was all about this "small government" talk BEFORE he became President. After he became president he expanded the federal governments role greatly. Hell he's made the Louisianna Purchase. Which he himself didn't thnk was within his rights constitutionally but he did it anyways.
