A post at the Daily Kos
implies Fred Thompson is lazy. Calling him "Grandpa Fred," it quotes another post about the legislative legacy of Thompson vs. McCain. Since McCain sponsored 870 bills during the same time Thompson sponsored 167, it concludes Thompson is old and lazy.
Typical -- the Left is the party of big government. The more government, the better. That's right -- raise taxes, pass more laws, increase the bureaucracy! Anyone not sponsoring numerous bills must be a dolt!
Wait a minute... I see a different explanation -- common sense. The real sign of maturity is the wisdom and discipline that limits government.
The more government has, the less we have. The more its power (laws passed), the less our freedom. The higher the tax rates, the less for our standard of living.
I'll be quite comfortable supporting a candidate of less government... because it means more for you and me.
