It's clear too many people have come to equate mere government with "Big Government". No one hates socialism more than I - it's untenable and destructive to individual liberty, ambition and the ability for one to live his or her life according to their full potential.
No taxes is great. No government, however, is anarchy and no central authority for our military to protect this nation. Judging someone in the negative because they have served their country in government is thoughtless and shallow. I'll grant you it's OFTEN a negative against that candidate, but the exceptions are startling when compared against the "no government" rhetoric. Reagan served in government. So did Lincoln. You get the picture. What matters is not the title, but the accomplishments relevant to the office sought.
We need to stop acting like crazy, knee-jerk reactionaries simply because someone has already served in government. There are candidates who may have only business experience, but have not the slightest idea how governments work to the benefit of the people. if we want a president like that, we might as well keep Obama - he still doesn't know how to use government to benefit the people. We need some who does and can hit the ground running. God knows with the mess Obama has created, we'll need at least that and much, much more. This is no game. As Newt continues to rise in the polls, it becomes clear that people understand that we need someone who knows what he's doing in Washington and we need that person now.
