It takes time to change the course of a supertanker. A conservative, small government candidate can begin to make a difference once in office and that difference can be magnified by subsequent office holders. The key in my mind, is getting the public to recognize the problem of big government.
Bloomberg predicts riots over jobs day before planned Wall Street protest.

Government... big or small, is the problem.
Small government does less harm. Call it a necessary evil, you do need some government.
More reason to look into you the Tea Party!
Tran, I actually have. My main issue with the Republican Party is their stance on Tort Reform. Obviously, I have a vested financial interest, but again, it's not as great as you might think as I have managed to move over 70% to Federal Court or out of state. Putting that on the shelf for just a second, the question I often ask here and which never seems to be answered is the following:
Many of you hard core Republicans are guys who do manual or semi-manual labor. You drive trucks, work construction, work factory jobs, drive vending routes, etc. If you are seriously hurt on the job, the reality is that you and your families will face financial ruin. If you get hurt by a bad doctor, or bad product, you will face financial ruin. Why do you keep electing people who are consistently limiting your rights to seek justice in the courts? Seriously, it's like there is no concept of self interest for you or your families.

Most of us hard core conservatives don't believe in suing people. That's what insurance is for.
What about when the insurance company won't do the right thing?
I love how some people like to claim Republicans are owned by big business, but if you look at the left they are no better. Just different businesses.
I do agree big business and big government are a lot of what is wrong with this country, but so are big legal and big labor, big special interest, etc, etc. Somewhere along the way the average working person has been forgotten by all those claiming to be looking out for them. Now all that matters is lining their own pockets.
