Government does not mean only the executive branch. Government has three branches at both the state and federal level. Obama's statement is totally correct. Yucca,

I’m afraid you don’t understand what separation of powers means. Government does not mean only the executive branch. Government has three branches at both the state and federal level. Obama’s statement is totally correct.

They name John Edwards as their example of the Democratic candidate to come closest to their ideals. Edwards has been the candidate of big government programs while having little understanding of freedom or of the need to restore checks and balances on government. Siegel was also an adviser to Rudy Giuliani, who is not as liberal on social issues as often portrayed, while showing no more respect for freedom and checks and balances on government power than the Bush administration. They are hardly the ones to be advising liberals about what to think.

We now have the first poll showing Mike Huckabee leading in Iowa. The new Rasmussen poll gives Huckabee 28%, Romney 25%, Giuliani 12% and Fred Thompson 11%." No Soup for You!
