Republicans want less government?

I hear it all the time, usually from republican candidates and voters: "We need less government regulation and MORE freedoms"; but is this actually in general what republicans want?
No, actually they want deregulation in some things, and more regulation in other things... just like everyone else.

Where they stand when it comes to:
Taxes? Government should have LESS CONTROL.
Energy efficiency standards? Government should have LESS CONTROL.
EPA/pollution mandates? Government should have LESS CONTROL.
Gay Marriage? Government should ACTIVELY PROHIBIT IT.
Drug usage? Government should ACTIVELY PROHIBIT IT.
Abortions? Government should ACTIVELY PROHIBIT IT.
Creationism in schools? Government should ACTIVELY ENFORCE IT.
(and many more!)


Looking at that list, it would seem the republican agenda prefers government control when it's in their favor,

As a lesson to people need to STOP promoting "less government" when what they actually should be doing is vouching for what they DO or DO NOT want the government involved in. Just sayin'
