Time to dump the Republicans. Get them back to parity with the Democrats - then they may be a little more attentive to their base. (And gridlock ain't bad either.)
Well, If the shoes fit, MR. DeLay................
I am a long-time faithful but I am getting tired of W throwing money at everything.
And Newt Gingrich once called Bob Dole the tax collector for the welfare state.
This is nothing new, but it does illustrate that the fight never ends.
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R) said that "Republicans have done so well in cutting spending that he declared an 'ongoing victory,' and said there is simply no fat left to cut in the federal budget," the Washington Times reports.
I remember the election night of 1994 when the Republicans took control of the House for the first time in over 40 years. Dan Rather looke positively sick and annoyed. I went to bed thing that now we were finally going to get the country back on sound financial footing and show the rest of the country that we really meant what we said when we said "less government and less spending". Boy, was I wrong. I am in despair now worse than when the Dems were in charge, becausee I know now there is no one to vote for or any reason to. I may sit out the next election. Why vote? Tax and spend is all I get no matter who I vote for...........
The Democrats are in turmoil over the Roberts nomination and eventual confirmation. The Left is chomping on the Center.
That's funny!.........
Me, too. But I can't argue with my lib associates anymore about "BIG SPENDING" Democrats! They just laff in my face!..........
Bush's fault!
et al...........
If a viable third-party comes along in 08, I may jump.
"today's Republicans . . . outdo Democrats on pork and are in the same ballpark on entitlements."
I don't vote big government. Therefore, I can't vote Republican (unless presented with the rare exception of someone like Pence or Flake).
Elephants and donkeys: fat and stupid.
Not really. The time to dump republicans will be the day after we have runoff elections and can be assured that voting for something other than a dem or a republican will not automatically elect the dem.
The democrats are still a rogue party, and they are the focus of gangsterism in our times.
But, you have to admit, the democrats will never, ever, give you a tax cut.
The only possible one would be the Libertarians. I could vote Libertarian for once. Send a message to 'em. May fall on deaf ears...........
At least the Dems will DO what they SAY they will do!.........
