I don't "vote for bigger government." However, I'm not a simpleton and I realize that my political ideology isn't going to be seen any time soon, so I vote for one of the 2 major parties that both stand for big government, and I pick the one that is actually going to do something. Could be better, yes, but let's not get too long winded here. Republican's are also for big government, despite their protests. They just want big government in a different place. They want less social welfare and more military and justice stuff.
