Still don't understand how my republican party wound up with an LBJ/FDR clone at the top. We better find the real thing for 08 or alot of fiscal conservatives are just staying home.

It doesn't help that we have a lot of Republican House and Senate members who haven't seen a pork barrel they didn't like.

I can't get that d@#M $500,000 dollar fish painting out of my mind. We need new options. We need to be able to hold these idiots accountable.

The numbers for Bush are far, far worse. What is not taken into account is global welfare. I believe that this is not included in the categories mentioned. Also, cancelation of foreign debt is not being taken into account. Bush has canceled more foreign debt than LBJ could even dream about.

By far, Bush is the biggest global welfare Santa ever, and this Cato report does not even take that into account.

Republicans at one time = conservatives. This is why so many Republican faithful are stunned to the point of denial that the Republican leadership has gone so left that they are MORE LEFT THAN LEFTIST RADICALS like LBJ and Ted Kennedy.

FACT: Manslaughter Kennedy dicated how much to spend for Education in the first Bush Budget. Bush took Kennedy's figure and piled even more billions onto the final figure, even though Bush knew that the Department of Education was a corrupt, broken and dysfunctional department, and even though Bush knew his beloved school vouchers would be shot down in flames.

George Bush is no conservative. Every day, new facts bear that out. It is a bitter pill to swallow, and many loylaists here refuse to accept that reality.

I have a feeling that whichever party wins the 2008 presidential election is going to regret it. I can’t back that up, it’s just a hunch.
