"When would big government suit a Republican's needs?" many here have asked. Let me answer that question. When the Republican Party added another layer of entitlement spending.

When the Republican Party doubled the size of the Department of Education. When the Republican Party wants to pay more for the defense of Europe than the Europeans do themselves.

When the Republicans party creates new programs like their precious 'Faith Based Initiatives.'

Chuck Todd: If Lincoln Were Dealing with These Republicans, We'd Still Have Slavery

Not his words, you must understand. Just a "depressing" observation from a "very smart" White House aide:

Congressional Republicans were the ones who
