"Limited government is not the same concept as small government. (I'm in favor of both, by the way, but limited government is infinitely more important than small government.) 'Limited government' is not a Republican position; it is an American position. It refers simply to our belief that individual rights exist prior to government, and that government exists to preserve and protect those rights -- the rights that you have by virtue of your dignity as a human being."
