| - "I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it
more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to
promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to
pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs,
but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution ... or
have failed their purpose ... or that impose on the people an
unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether
legislation is 'needed' before I have first determined whether it is
constitutionally permissible. And if I should be attacked for
neglecting my constituents' 'interests,' I shall reply that I was
informed that their main interest is liberty, and in that cause I am
doing the very best I can." --Barry Goldwater

Barry Goldwater never caught on. He did'nt do so well at the polling booth either. HE SOUNDED out of it from the start. Government is out to smother us all it seems and Goldwater would have been no different. Just like Animal farm, such people are all the same or become the same when they get the nod for office. |
