1. What is cool about this is that they still think they can win with this stuff

The people are over it, and but for a low turnout throwback in 2010, have been over it for some time.

Curiously, people really do not want smaller government. They demand more laws all the time, they want more programs and projects in many different directions. When you add it all up, big government arises.

It starts small, perhaps you don't like that your neighbor has parked his "project car" on blocks in front of his house. You raise cain and get an ordinance passed against the practice, so the city then hires a code enforcement officer or two to have them moved or towed off. Once you decide that it is government's job to keep your neighbor in line, the rest is all but inevitable over time. Each little part comes into existence for a specific and seemingly very good reason at the time.

Try to roll it back, almost any of it, and the people become quite unhappy.

We (the people) invented government. We like it just fine when it is sorting our neighbors out, we like it less when it is pointing in our direction or we have to pay for it.
