44 States

[Jackalope]

From the article:

The information the commission is seeking includes registrants' full names, addresses, dates of birth, political parties, the last four digits of their social security numbers, a list of the elections they voted in since 2006, information on any felony convictions, information on whether they were registered to vote in other states, their military status, and whether they lived overseas.

I wonder how many small-government Republicans will have the cojones to stand up against this? I wonder how many NRA members terrified of gun registration because of hypothetical government attempts to track owners are okay with this gambit of Trump's?

I'd better invest in an upgraded hypocrisy meter ... I get the sense my current one is about to shit the bed.

There are, in my estimation, very few small government Republicans. They seem perfectly content to have an enormous, bloated military - at the expense of programs that would actually, you know, help the people. They are apparently perfectly happy having large government when it suits them, just as they're perfectly happy to have the government insert itself into things which are none of it's business - reference the article in the OP.

(I don't think Democrats necessarily exhibit any less hypocrisy, however, it gets on my wick whenever a claim to small government is made in reference to the GOP, much in the same wat that Democrats piss me off when they claim to be the party of the common man and spend so much time sucking Wall Street cock.)
