Less Government Is More?

Am I missing something? The article on Lori Metheny, Chair of the County Republicans, in today's Times Standard, uses that as the headline. Interesting how Republicans identify themselves with less taxes and smaller government yet their president, Bush 2, oversaw the largest expansion of the federal government since LBJ. But I notice even a lot of Republicans don't even bring up Bush, anymore, when promoting their party. The only mention of him in this article was of being present at his innauguration. Not that I think Bush 2 hasn't tried to do some good things, unlike his predecessor. It's just the bad he's done greatly outweighs the good.

Still wonder about that headline, though. maybe it was suggestive of the less government Republicans having a more government president?
