Huh?
Another Frumpish incoherence. Big surprise. Only one person thinks Frum is a genius.
The TP did not exist as an item called the “Tea Pary” when GWB was in office. He had plenty of criticism as to his spending, and IMO that is well documented.
“IMO that is well documented.”
By all means produce said documentation. Those few of us on FR who called out Bush for such nonsense as NCLB, Medicare Part D and NEA funds were attacked pretty relentlessly! While you’re at it, explain what went down from 02 to 06 when the GOP controlled both Houses in Congress and the White House and still managed to spend like drunken sailors. And why was the tea party content with Dubya’s spending binges but silent about them?
