clearly failing the reality sniff test yet again. someone please point to the new departments. someone please let the gop know that there are fewer people employed by the obama admin in the federal government in aggregate (and far less as a proportion of the population) than reagan employed.

no one wants big government. they want smart, responsive, efficient government that does the jobs it is meant to and doesn't do the jobs it is not meant to.
the gop needs a new message. but it is stuck with the old one. as such, it ignores reality.
