“It is interesting to watch the liberal psyche in this town. When they do not like something, they do not come out and say, I like bigger taxes. I like bigger government. Instead they nitpick things. It is like getting a great novel like ``War and Peace'' and saying I just did not like the novel because there is a grammatical error on page 352. I just could not accept it. It is like not liking the Superbowl because New England called the wrong play in the third quarter. I just could not possibly support them. It is that kind of mad-at-the-world, sour puss, liberal approach to issues; and it is always the nitpicking. Just come out and say, I am a liberal. As a liberal I like to spend money. I like the government to grow. And I want control of people from cradle to grave because that creates government dependency. And when the government controls you and you are dependent on the government, you have to keep coming back to Washington year after year and you have to beg for a new program or new relief or new regulations or a change that creates constituency groups, and that keeps me, a liberal, in power. Now, conservatives on the other hand say, I want less government. I do not want people who have to come groveling to Washington year after year for relief, for regulatory relief for more freedom. Less government creates more freedom.”
