Why Anti-government Republicans lust for government power

It is no secret that the Republican Party, especially it's conservative business biased members, are anti-government. The only exception is huge funding for the military, which it supports to protect them and their assets. The only reason the Republican Party wants the power to dominate the government is to use it to enrich themselves. The Bush Administration best demostrates the success of their goal.

Last I checked the Rep's only had power over the Excutive branch. The Dems control the other 2 houses and are looking foward to winning the Presidentcy which would give them power over all 3 branchs.
How does this lust for power fit with your silly statement?

Your silly question and it's silly basis indicates your unwillingness to admit Republican venal goals.

Democrats are not anti-government and try to use it for the common good. That's not to say that some immoral scoundrals might also try to use it to enrich themselves just like their Repubican bretheren.

The sad truth is that venal politicians outnumber honest, honorable politicians by a vast majority regardless of party affiliation.

Quick! There's been agreement! Lock the thread! Lock the thread!

You miss my point that Republicans are anti-government.

Whereas i don't subscribe to Aunt Bee's statement here, you have a serious problem with your own statment. The three branches of government are the executive, the legislative (which includes both house of Congress) and the judicial. The judicial branch is, at least in theory, non-partisan. It is, however, true that the majority of sitting justices were appointed by Republican Presidents.

Dude, " . . . which would give them power over all 3 branches?" Serious stumble there, Baldimo.

Sure, all the pols want that kind of power. It is likely to be a long time, however, before the Democrats can make any serious attempt to pack the Supreme Court. The two Bush boys in the White House pretty well took care of that.
