Proving the lie

Today is election day, and Texas Republicans are going to the polls to vote on Prop. 2, the constitutional amendment regarding same sex marriage. This is yet more proof for the lie that Republicans stand for a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Like their alleged political opponents, Democrats, Republicans fail to see the hypocrisy in advocating smaller, less-intrusive government while, at the same time, voting to give the State the power to interfere in personal relationships between two consenting adults.

It's obvious, now more than ever, that the late Ronald Reagan's mantra "keep the government poor and live free" is no longer part of the Republican party's ideology.
