In #3155, I said:
- You keep saying that they distrust big government, and ignoring that the clowns they elect are spending federal dollars like it's going out of style. They do not practice what they preach when they go to Washington. And perhaps the only reason they don't do this at home is that their state economies are not rich enough to let them blow money on a similar scale.
I don't think that's the same thing as "argu[ing] that voting population in the rural states are less inclined towards big government." Your point was that they don't spend as much money on their local government, and I said that they're quite happy to spend federal dollars, and would spend more of their own money if they had more of it.

Which is another way of saying that people like the idea of reform in a notional way, but don't like the idea of actual cuts to the things he'd have to cut.
