Project Gridlock
Are you fed up with the fact that Democrats blatantly increase the size of government with new programs, more taxes, and more regulation?

Are you
ticked that Republicans sneakily increase the size of government with new Cabinet departments, more spending, and more federal involvement?

Well, I know I am.

Face it, friends. 
Neither party stands for limited government. They just don't.  Furthermore, they don't even try.

So, what do we do?

1.  Give up.  You can do this in two ways.  First, you can vote for the party that you think isn't "quite" as bad.  Second, you can not vote at all.  But, you know what?  This doesn't make anything better.

2.  Vote for a Third Party.  A lot of Libertarians and other Third Party types will hate me for admitting it, but this is throwing your vote away.  Voting for a someone who won't win won't change anything at all!

3.  Join up with Project Gridlock.  
  
 

So, what is Project Gridlock?

Simple.  We realize that Republicans don't want small government, despite what they say.  We realize that Democrats rarely even pretend to want small government.

So, make them both lose.

How?  By voting for both, but in different positions.  In other words, create
Gridlock

The hard facts....
Political Mix                                             annual % increase in govt spending
Democrats all                                                            10.3%
Dem. Congress, Rep. President                              8.4%
Republicans all                                                            6.7%
Rep. Congress, Dem. President                              3.6%

It's as simple as that! 

Implementation:

This is simple.  If you believe in limited government,vote this way:

For members of Congress and the Senate, vote Republican.
For the President, vote Democrat.

This way, our few "swing votes", the ones that we actually control, will make the difference.  They can result in Gridlock. 

Who knows?  Maybe it'll work.  Maybe it won't.

But, if it does, we'll have the only scenario that has ever worked in keeping government small since 1860:  gridlock.
