No, you the liberal media and Michael Savage say the Republicans have “spent like Democrats”...You and your ilk

Wow! I've always wanted to have "ilk"! ...and Michael Savage is an idiot, so don't lump me in with him please. I am a conservative; the Republican Party is NOT conservative, it's just the party that's slightly to the right of the Democratic Party.. Yes, they stopped amnesty, for now, but they continue to let the illegals flow over the border while they're busy spending like Democrats on their own pork projects. You really should quit whining about the fact that the Pubbies only had 50-51% of the congress (in the past). The fact is that they had both houses of congress and the presidency. They failed to effectively use their bully pulpit to frame their argument.

Every bill needs to pass the Senate regardless of what happens in the House or who the president is. So before anything can get done you better have 60% of the votes in the senate and Republicans didn’t have 60% but 51% to 50%.So when you, your ilk, and liberal mainstream media say that the Republicans had control of both houses of Congress you are wrong and or LYING or both.

If If the Republicans had 60% of the Senate THEN they would be in control. But they didn’t so Democrats could stop any bill they wanted to by filibuster as they did drilling in ANWR, Medicaid cuts, making the tax cuts permanent, ssi privatization etc.

Are you just unable to comprehend simple math or do you just want to bash the GOP 24/7 to help your party, the Democrat party?

You make it seem like stopping Amnesty was no big deal. Democrats will destroy the U.S. by bringing in hundreds of millions of 3rd world people once they achieve 60% of the Senate and have McCain or Obama as president. And they will do it with your help and all the rest of the “conservatives” who refuse to support THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP THE DEMOCRATS/SOCIALISM , THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. If you can tell me of another party that can stop the Democrats then do otherwise support the Republican party or get ready to starve as they did in the USSR, Cuba, Eastern Europe, N korea, Cambodia etc . etc. etc
