1. Answer to "Big Government" Remarks?

Everyone should just respond with some schmuck saying "Oh, you're one of those big government liberals," by saying this.

"Everyone is big government. Republicans are just big government about different things. They want continuous, expensive big wars, they want to give big, expensive tax cuts to millionaires, and their corporations. They want a big government, that locks up people in jail, with mandatory sentencing, paying private individuals money to imprison them, many times for non-violent, perhaps self-victimizing crime."

This whole "Big Government" BS by Republicans, and NeoLiberal Democrats is not credible from the start.

That's big government too. They want government in people's bedrooms and their health decisions (only when the patient is a woman). Then, they whine about universal or single-payer healthcare because it "puts government" in our healthcare. For one, it doesn't, for another thing, they don't mind gov't messing around in healthcare when the patient is female.

Pretentious hypocrisy is the hallmark of Republicans.
