Never underestimate the security ramifications of a rubber hose.
Right, not anymore than they can regulate cash.
They can watch the entry and exit points like a hawk. (Banks, etc) but two guys exchanging cash for something in an alleyway will be hard to crack down on.
That isn't to say if one of the guys tries too many alleyway transactions and becomes perceived as a menace (like say a drug dealer) they'll certainly TRY.

Governments can regular the exchanges (Bitcoin <-> fiat), but I don't think they can regulate bitcoin itself...

Governments aren’t just gonna sit back and let us use and launder this money for free. They're going to want their cut. Regulation is inevitable in some form.
Of course they will. It'll be difficult but they are going to regulate it one way or another.
You are asking 2 completely different questions.
Your thread "Subject" asks:
"Will The Government Ever Find a way to Regulate Bitcoin?"
Your poll asks:
"Do you think the United States Government will ever have total power over bitcoin?"
Regulating is not the same thing as "total power over".
The results of your poll will be meaningless since you won't be able to tell who is answering the first question and who is answering the second one.
