Go back, get a clue!
Please name another time in history where we had THREE commercial jetliners be taken over by terrorist, killing more than 3,000 people and destroying a center of commerce, and part of the pentagon?
You don't know what Bush's pre 9/11 plans were and you still have no clue what will happen in the future.
If you don't like Bush don't vote for him and go grab on to some Libert. who might get .000000001% of the vote and give the election to one of the now current plethra of Lib/Socialist!
Maybe Al Sharpton will float your boat!
Here, have some Kool-Aid.
Sir your post duplicates authentically my sentiments, and as it was exquisitely extrapolated, I say I am extremely honored to be associated with you on this unpopular thread of illcontempt.
Good luck.
Bring it on!
I don't have a problem with anyone critizing Bush for spending, but to outright give the election to the other side because of it is ridiculous and irresponsible.
Do you penny pinchers think for one second a Caroyl Mosley-Braun would be more up to your standards. Maybe Howard Dean, who loves Hillary's presciption for Healthcare....
HELLO!!!!
Go right ahead, see what YOU get!
I think the point is "we have met the other side...(and it is starting to look like) ...."he is us" The democraps want to drive the bus off the cliff at 100 mph and the repubs have decided to drive it off the cliff at 35 mph imo
On the farm bill: agreed. But don't forget the steel tariffs, either. The prescription drug bill is a disaster.
It used to be that the Dems were the tax and spend party. Where oh where is Reagan's spirit now?
Being overwhelmed by the "compassion."
That is a great point, but I think the Repubs and Bush will slam on the brakes before we get near the edge.
Eventhough Bush is spending like a pissin' drunk racehorse gambler, I don't think the plan is to continue.
He will cut the spending on other things that don't work at all.
Yes, people will make excuses for him, but that is what they are: excuses.
There is nothing "conservative" about the pork coming from D.C., "compassionate" or otherwise.
It is sad to realize, as the suthor...not I, I'm just posting and commenting...points out, the repubs are actually driving that bus faster than the dems.
Now that's unbelievable.
Can't name ONE, can you? You don't know what Bush's pre 9/11 plans were and you still have no clue what will happen in the future.
Pre 911 he was going to buy another term with liberal socialism. Post 911 he's trying buy another term with fear (looks like you might of got a little more than your share there) and the blood of our sons and daughters. Leaving a promissory note of slavery to be paid by our grandchildren.
Maybe Al Sharpton will float your boat!
In your search for truth you might consider that even Al Sharpton couldn't have done the damage I fear Bush is doing to this country, he is after all just a SMALLTIME crook. Hey! Do you know Al is black, I thought you might.
Bush has to grow the economy. He is trying to do that by stimulating. One stimulates by cutting taxes and increasing spending. There is little choice in the matter if you want to try to retain some semblance of morality in the WH and deny it to the Democrats.
Speaking of Reagan....
Reagan could not get rid of programs that he wished to, which is a comparison some of the Bush diehards like to point out in defense of Bush's failure to do the same.
One of the really great things about Reagan, though, was the way he changed the nature of the debate from 'what is the best way for government handle whatever' to 'should the government be involved in handling whatever'.
Bush has completed turning the debate back to the first question and in that way is arguably not just a big government, big spending President, but dangerous to the very ideaof small, limited, Constitutional government. That may in the long run be even worse than his big spending party.
