Examples of lines that can be used to redirect a conversation from Big Government to advancing liberty:

Your question may be of concern to some people in our (district/state), but in talking to voters in (town or area), what I’ve found is that they’re much more concerned about (your proposal and benefits)…

That’s an interesting question, but I’m running for office in order to (your proposal and benefits)…

[If they ask more than one question:] I’ll address your first question (your proposal and benefits)…

I’ll have to think about that. What I can tell you now is (your proposal and benefits)…

All I know is this (your proposal and benefits)…
