I'm not a Democrat, and didn't vote for Obama, I just think that straw men are a waste of time. Convicting Democrats for not being for "big government" across the board when none of them claim to be for "big government" at all is a waste of time.

The phrase is being used in lieu of the specific and extensive arguments that would have to be made connecting business regulation, social safety nets and progressive taxation with marriage being defined as heterosexual, abortion restrictions, and war(?).



How claiming to be "big government" different than wanting policies that necessitate big government?
