Why Conservatives Are So Angry Debt Matters
Control Congress ^ | 11.7.06 | John Konop

Posted on 11/09/2006 6:30:14 PM PST by eeevil conservative

We elect congressmen and congresswomen to represent our interests. We vote for self-described fiscal hawks who favor less government. But all we get is:

Integrity Matters

The moral lapses of the Clinton administration were, of course, distressing. We voted for self-described conservative representatives who claimed they would do better. But all we got was a never-ending chain of scandals ranging from sex crimes to bribe-taking to gambling promotion.

Each is driven by a combination of greed, power-lust, and arrogance. Of course, mistakes do happen. But even when individuals are caught red-handed, they refuse to take responsibility. All that results is finger pointing and excuses from congressmen hiding in rehabilitation centers. Misbehaving congressmen should be removed—period. Are we supposed to look up the definition of is again?

Immigration Matters

We are a country of laws. If you don’t like a law, change it. But a government that intentionally refuses to enforce select laws is weakening the whole “rule of law” and breaking its most sacred pledge to the governed.

Some employers are using illegal immigration to drive down wages and eliminate hard-working Americans from their payrolls. And of illegal immigrants gangs run roughshod over our communities, bringing with them:

That's brilliant. That should be your shows signature tagline. Just like your healthy radio addiction!!!! More brilliant still is the points you brought out in the article. The facts AND numbers don't lie. Anyone with half a brain realizes that!!!!! We can get control back, but its not going to happen by abandoning what we believe is right just to be more moderate and less conservative(AKA John McCain). It will be a cold day in h@ll before my beliefs move toward the middle just to appease the masses!!!!

Um, I hope you're sleeping well, but why not call into The Great One? Particularly if he brings up something near and dear like, uh, Zell Miller or Newt Gingrich?

Mo- I respectfully disagree with part of your post. Reagan knew EXACTLY how to deal with the lib and the MSM. He took it to the people! He circumvented the "news" and talked to us from the Oval Office. Lest we forget, the MSM and the libs painted him as nuts and a loose cannon regularly. HA!

Meanwhile, we can absorb this election as a win. CONSERVATIVES UNITE! Let's take back our principles, party and our base!

I'm afraid we are devolving from a country of laws into a country of pc. We don't even want to offend lawbreakers any more and the pc group is sliding us down that chute. We WILL lose this country as we and our fathers have known it unless real conservatives save it soon.

Sure he would. He was vilified at every turn, but he gave the dems a blank check on social spending so they kept their snide jokes to a minimum.

Almost like what they are doing to Bush now

Look .. I loved Reagan .. he is up there as the top best leaders of our country

But he also had a few problems during his presidency too .. just as Bush has now

I also can't help but notice how many (I'm speaking in general terms and not directed at you) either don't know the history of the Reagan years or have forgotten

There will never be a clone of Reagan .. however, we can and do have a President that Reagan would be proud of

National security , National Secuity, National Security---When the Islamo-Fascists blow us all up, they won't care how moral we are, whether we're legal immigrants or not, or how much debt we have--neither will we.

Republicans totally missed the boat..We forgot 9/11 and all the ideology behind it--That is the Issue of our times and Republicans and Democrats worried about some rep in Florida writing porno emails! God help us!

A near $9 trillion debt

It's worse than that. Here's a little pop quiz: when is the last time the national debt decreased?

Answer: the fiscal year ending 12/31/1960. Yes, Dwight Eisenhower's last year as President. During DDE's 8 years in office, the national debt decreased 3 times.

The only reason Clinton afficiandos can say that there were budget surpluses during his 8 years was because of the bookkeeping magic the Federal government performs. (Think of Al Gore and his lockbox).

There was one year (ending 9/30/2000) where the national debt went up only $18 BILLION (that's Billion with a B), and I guess you could say that was close, but no cigar.
