I think you miss a very important point about most Conservatives, TED.... We're not necessarily Small-Government as much as we are Properly Focused Government. Now that Properly Focused Government does tend to be somewhat smaller than what we currently have, but that's a byproduct, not the real focus.
I think what you're missing is that that particular flavor of conservatism puts you in a very small group. Most conservatives go on at length about wanting smaller government and more freedom.
