[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

If there is a war going on, why not drastically reduce domestic spending? I don't get it. Where is the conservatism?

Well said! If taxpayers and private businesses had to sacrifice after 9/11, then surely big government depts like Dept of Ed, Housing, and Commerce should have been abolished.

There is no justification for the farm bill, the education bill, and a homeland security dept. Bush is a big-government Republican, and I hope conservatives hold his feet to the fire in 2004.

Heads up, folks. I've been surfing the chatrooms and DU and because it is now clear Nader is running, the Democrat talking points for today have been distributed and their goal is to split the conservative vote as their own left wing extremist vote is to be split.

The method is to find things Bush has done that are less than antiseptically conservative and present them to conservatives. They are in trouble. This is a reasonably good response.
