Give us a polar alternative especially in reducing the size of government, on EVERY level.
FIscher : 1/26/2012
Reduce the size of government??? That's all I hear from the Repulicans--what do they want to eliminate?? Democrats are always blamed for "pork" in the budget and the size of government. Not true. Check out some of the records of their colleagues on the other side of the aisle. They too like the "pork" and are in line to get it. Surely Mr. Fischer has more to his platform than reducing the size of government.

Yea!! Finally someone who could actually represent us without shame. Bill, you know you can't run from behind bars.

now you are talking like a true politician. if you are elected, it will be a different story. we see how a majority of repubs plus our gov. is reducing our gov't. redistricting is not reducing. it is just reshaping for political advantage. go back to florida. we have enough carpet baggers here. let us back yard hicks that have stayed here through thick & thin. we can't wait to see how you straighten wbg. out. oops, I guess you won't be there that long if you get Bill's job. but, then again, you probably can't carry Bill's lunch box, let alone fill his shoes.& don't count on them being prison shoes.
but how? : 1/26/2012
That's what I want to know. How? You can be smart about it, and you can be very stupid as well. Like the guy whose doctor told him he had to lose 35 pounds, so he cut off one of his legs.
reduction is fine : 1/26/2012
as long it isn't to justify more harm to come to our region, its debt ladden workers, its residents, or its resources
