I have noticed how conservatives are very very unforgiving and petty people

Which is why we have the reputation we have.

Frankly, for me it has reached the point where if the Dems retake Congress and begin impeachment proceedings... Grounds ? Half the country thinks Bush deliberately lied about Iraqi WMD's. That's more serious than the French farce we had about cigars and bl*w jobs.... I will just shrug and say 'Bush brought it on himself'.

Oh, not the reputation for compassion that Democrats have who are willing to push working class Blacks clear out of the labor force with waves of illegals.

Given that this is caused by a gasoline shortage, the price will begin to drop by the end of summer and so will his poll numbers. Going for Bush is that he hasn't lost his nerve, which is what happened to Johnson, Nixon and Carter. Bill Clinton, to give him his due, didn't cave either.

i hope your attitude is so cavilier when the DEMs cause the US to lose the WOT and the US become a permanent 2nd rate power.

DEMS dont believe in american exceptionslism...i guess neither do you.

I agree. That is what he should have been doing all last year. To hell with this social security thing. No one is going to do a dang thing about it until after 2012 or so.

If the gas prices drop this summer Bush's approval numbers will rebound, not go down.

The conservative cause is bigger that Jorge Arbusto. His globalist, cheap labor Republicanism SHOULD be defeated. A better, more populist GOP would be the result.

And the word is 'cavalier'.

And as for the US becoming a permanent 2nd rate power, Bush economic policies are bankrupting this country. We WILL be a permanent second rate power the way historically great powers do. Overextension on a diminished economic base.

If he keeps talking that way up until the election, I won't feel sorry when the GOP gets wiped out at the polls and a RAT majority impeaches him.

And then, when they come for you, to shake the last dollar out of your pocket.....Yeah, you won't be sorry.

which economic policies are those? lower taxes?

you realize your argument has no merits what so ever?

I point out how the DEMS are worse then the GOP and all you can do is have a childish fit

"Overextension on a diminished economic base."

this makes absolutely no sense.

You will be surprised, I'm sure, when this doesn't happen.

Which reminds me--how is the GOP doing on making the tax cuts permanent and repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax? (crickets chirping)

Lower taxes and massive increases in expenditure means debt. Are you dimly aware of that ?

Are you dimly aware that debt levels this nation is carrying on every level are not sustainable and at some point we will have 70s style double digit inflation ? This nation is in hock up to its eyeballs and hopelessly dependent on borrowed capital and you think this is wise policy ?

I apologize for having assumed that you knew some history or economics instead of just a head full of stump slogans.

You sound like a 1960s keysenian...lower taxes mean more revenue, not less.

Your ignorance of economics is astounding. Debt does not equal debt. Japan has a debt/GDP ratio over 100% yet has syfferred through 15 years of deflation.

There is no relation between deficits and inflation

Are you aware that if one throws out increased military and security expeditures since 9/11 that we get a nearly balanced budget. That the way it was handled back in the '90s. Raises in all government programs; cuts in the military budget.

No they won't. But the GOP needs a rude awakening, or this slide towards the drain that they seem to want for our country will never stop. They need a taste of accountability.

you obviously have no clue what so ever what caused inflation in the 1970s and why it is impossible for it to happen again.
