Only in your bizarro world is appropriate criticism equivalent to "hate." Speech code fan by any chance?
Quit confiscating it to begin with and let the people spend their own money, if that's what they choose.
BEST line of the day.
As he prepares to deal with an opposition Congress for the first time, Bush is also asking lawmakers to extend tax cuts.
*snort* While he's at it the president should politely ask them to resign their posts in favor of their Republican challengers and then volunteer for combat duty in Iraq. If you're going to ask for something ridiculous, you might as well go all the way over the top.
Oh, I doubt it; the Dems will get the White House and more seats in 2008 for sure, but plenty of people here will still hate Bush.
They've done the DNC's work for them because they failed to get the big picture.
Now, rather than "having it all," they have nothing. I wonder how they're going to like that.
Of course, they will still have something to bitch about so I guess they'll still be happy.
And now he has even less than nothing.
It's almost comical how you people claim that there has been all of this "increased" spending, when the Annual Federal Budget has actually been reduced and the revenues have increased because of his Tax cuts.
The actual amount of total Federal spending has gone down along with the deficit and the money is simply shuffled from one program to another without increased spending.
In other words; Those who know the least, complain the most.
"We've got to make sure we spend the people's money wisely," the president said in a Rose Garden statement."
Anyone have a link to Bubba's remark back during his term as to why he was opposed to tax cuts. I remember him commenting in a vein similar to Bush along the lines of "if we give te people their money back they'll waste it." Ring any bells?
Well of cours it's all about politics. If the President was serious about earmarks or controlling spending he would have been pushing for that for the past 6 years. He did not. And now that the Democrats have control of Congress then it's politically expedient to now say earmarks and bad and spending is out of control. But don't expect me to believe that he has suddenly seen the light, or that he would have been pushing for either of these things had the GOP retained control.
Thanks to the people who have been bashing him for the last seven years.
Things would have been vastly different if people who claim to be conservatives would have supported the ONLY person who could help them.
Now you'll get nothing for YEARS.
Oh, my aching sides.
Claim? CLAIM?
Education spending (NO Child Left Behind).
Medicare Prescription Benefit. Huge programs, just for starters.
If you are relying on bogus federal bookkeeping to make your point, please, I've got an investor in Nigeria who would love to make your acquaintence.
Yeah, Congress can't give away its own powers. Only SCOTUS can take powers away from Congress.
How on earth can you equate saying we've got to spend the tax money wisely with Clinton saying you can't have your money back because we might not like the way you spend it?

The White House's own numbers show you to be incorrect.
The Heritage foundation also put together a nice little PDF that shows you to be incorrect as well:

Another one issue moonbat heard from.
"Annual Federal Budget has actually been reduced...The actual amount of total Federal spending has gone down..."
Say What? What dimension are you from? What color is the sky on your world?
