A recent poll indicates that...

Hi guys, I have a question regarding one of the GMAT prep question:

A recent poll indicates that many people in the United States hold a combination of conservative and liberal political views; i.e.., they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting many specific government programs for health care, education, and the environment.

(A) they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting

The correct answer is A.I think in this choice the word "denounce" should be parallel with the word "support". Those two actions convey the two different views. However in this sentence used "denounce" and "supporting". I am confused... Also after "while at the same time", there should be a complete sentence,but in choice A, it is said "while at the same time supporting..." this is not a complete sentence.

Can someone help me? Thanks!
