Even if true, this doesn't invalidate Carville's observation about the reason why Norquist's minions want less government.

As for the crooks, why do you focus on the politicians who allow themselves to be bought while ignoring the private interests who are doing the buying?

I don't want to expand government - I want to reform it.

It's not the government that's "taking our lunch" - it's the corporatist robber barons who control the government.

The libertarian kooks who think getting rid of government is the answer want to throw the baby out with the bath water.
