Is Sara Palin's call for "less government intervention" a good idea"?

You're right about the personal and social issues. Less government intervention is fine with her if you want to own guns, but she doesn't think women should be allowed to make their own medical decisions. She would also use the government to enforce her whack-job religious ideas, like teaching creationism in public schools. And yes, financial institutions SHOULD have more government regulation, but that is contrary to republican thinking.
