SO MANY MISSED OPPORTUNITIES ( MY TITLE-CLINTON MORE FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE THAN BUSH ?)

No, I didn't read all your posts, nor did I respond to them. I read your post where you defended Bush on the basis that the AWB wasn't renewed. I responded that Bush is indefensible on it because it is manifest that he wanted it renewed.

You responded with the obfuscation of the administration that "my opponent is bad, so therefore I am good".

That's a non sequitur, obvious to most anyone. What if I had called you a "conservative" or a "liberal"? Would you proudly wear that? If you resort to the low level of argument that you did, why is "bot" an insult? I thought you'd be proud to wear the mantle.

When defense and homeland security spending increases are removed, Bush's increases in spending dwarf Clinton's. And infact, there is only 1 president who had a faster rate of growth in discretionary spending. LBJ and his Great Society.

Wrong. Nixon had a higher rate. See post#40.

Agreed, and it is not just on the national level. In Taxes (Note new spelling) the republican controlled legislature raised spending 19% over the last budget last month.

"Would you proudly wear that? If you resort to the low level of argument that you did, why is "bot" an insult? I thought you'd be proud to wear the mantle."
lol you are too funny
my retort to your erroneous assertion of "bot" would be indicative of shall we say mindless zombie etc. obviously your assumption is complete bunk since i do not agree and in fact strongly disagree on some of this Administration's policies. However i also can understand the reasoning for how the game is played ie AWB. My point here is that not everything the Admin does is great nor is it all bad whereas if Kerry or hillary etc get in it would be all B A D. yes i am overgeneralizing but i am in a hurry so forgive the broad brushstrokes i am using here.

"Small-govt conservative" is a redundancy, and "compassionate conservative" is an oxymoron.

I'm gonna use that for my tagline.
