Bush Is More Than Fiscally Irresponsible - Crazy talk

"President Bush, saying the economic recovery is firmly in place, yesterday proposed adding $1 trillion to the national debt to fund the cost of shifting to a partially privatized Social Security system. The massive increase in debt, coming on top of a $7 trillion national debt that is growing by about $500 billion a year, adds controversy to what was already promising to be a difficult reform to get enacted."

Another trillion in debt ($1,000,000,000?) Is President Bush serious? He is punching his own ticket back to Texas, or Maine, or wherever he lives. How can anyone vote for a president who has zero fiscal sanity? Our fiscal well being is a very important part of our national security. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that at some point defense spending will be squeezed due to necessary budget constraints. Who is the libertarian candidate?

You are sounding more and more like a troll all the time. You had a few posts that appeared to be based in conservative, perhaps to establish some credibility around here, but the more you post it's getting harder to buy anything other than troll.

-a libertarian is NOT a conservative, Bush is supported here, although many are unhappy with his budget, so you will have to live with it. For a newbie you are going to get a reputation. Best to keep an open mind and listen.

Put an <-i-> before and an <-/i-> after remove all the -'s and that's it to bold replace the i with a b. To strike thru use s. The -'s are necessary in this tip to keep from changing the text.
Tomorrow we will discuss font size.

I guess we are all stoopid. Who do you plan to vote for? I will vote for Bush in 2004, because you think I'm stoopid.

It's a little cool in the house. Do you turn up the heat, or put on more clothing?IMHO, gotta rely on the old fallback... take off the clothing, turn up the heat. Then again, I now have 4 kids. YMMV.

If you had put on more clothing instead you might only have 2 kids ; ) It was my conservation question tagline now being replaced by something with meaning.

Oh, I see. If I don't agree with you I should shut up. If I don't rah rah the latest RNC line I should keep my mouth shut. We'll excuse me for HAVING AN OPEN MIND.
I happen to think that the most important aspect of good government is spending the peoples money wisely. While I have strong opinions on what we should and should not spend our money on, I think first and foremost that it is important that we first do not spend more than we have.
Excuse me for pointing out the number one problem that we face today. One that is squarely the fault of republicans in Washington D.C. Tell me, how is it that a republican congress can pass balanced budgets with a democrat in the White House, but not with a republican.
http://capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3370 http://www.washtimes.com/national/20040115-112447-9758r.htm http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1028509/posts Its seems that I am not alone with my concerns. Maybe these folks are not reading their RNC memos either. It appears that many folks will be weighing their options on Nov. 2, or perhaps just forgetting the whole thing and going fishing instead.
To: KFriedConserv
I am a conservative republican, and you are just one angry person with more then a few issues. There is another opinion besides yours. I am unhappy with the spending, but I do not go around here trashing our president with anger and attack those who disagree with me. Having an individual opinion is fine, but attacking those who's opinion differs is uncalled for. The sarcasm positively drips off of your words. Most around here disagree with the spending, but Kerry will put our national security at risk and the only reason he couldn't outspend Bush is that he would need a majority in Congress. So I believe the issue of judges, prolife issues and national security are more important and I will vote accordingly. Please try and have a great day, I am.

The problem is that you are new here and have been attracting attention sounding like a Moby troll on several threads. You even denied that was John Kerry in the Jane Fonda photo yet his own campaign staff has admitted it to be him.

-and one other point, if my views were the RNC agenda I would be thrilled! LOL, they do not consult me, so I am hardly spouting "talking points" here.
