    Not that he's wrong about this, but it's such a joke when republicans talk about being conservative, small government, lower taxes, and so on.

    And when they get in power? That's the LAST thing they are about. Except when it lines the pockets of their personal buddies, of course.

    The reason he isnt very popular with the right is that people on the right feel he has abandoned conservative principles and are angry over issues just like this.

    Why the amazing mixed message?

    Either the law is good or it is bad.

    From reading about it, it is about fixing an issue where there is great pressure to correct a deteriorating banking system and ensure it doesn't happen again, but I'm not so sure it is effective in that sense.

    As for being small government, it is helpful if you're FOR small government before I will take you seriously.

    Nice for you to point out the problem though.
