Re: Small government said by Maxo:Didn't this bill for a national franchise go against the conservative viewpoint of a smaller national government? Yup. The Republicans have been the party of Very Big Government for the past 6 years now. Very Big Government is not what conservatism is all about and Ted Stevens is not a conservative by any measure of the word. People like him, Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, and other professional legislators are the reason we need congressional term limits of some form.
I agree with you that the a national franchise would be an excessive over-reach of Federal authority into what should be a state and/or local matter. I for one am glad that this bill died just on those grounds alone.
