Fred Thompson said, "Being a POW doesn't qualify anyone to be president, but it does reveal character." Meaning, vote for John McCain.
He could equally have said, "Coming home from years of war to find your lovely, faithful wife has had a horrific accident and lost six inches in height from her legs - dumping her and the kids and picking up a younger, prettier filthy rich heiress - doesn't disqualify anyone from being president, but it does reveal character." Meaning, yup, if you want an cynical opportunist - again - to run the country, vote for John McCain.

Big Government
It's not a matter of more government or less government, it's a matter of good government.
More government doesn't make for better government, it just makes more bureaucracy and worse government.
Less government doesn't make for better government, it just makes for holes in a structure that get fixed with new structures, which generates overlapping and conflicting bureaucracies, and worse government.
Better government is the goal. That means transparency, accountability, and an independent Ombudsman where anyone can go when the government administration is being bureaucratic, unfair or illegal.
