Rush Calls Bush Like Nixon. Republicans cannot claim to be for small government.
Rush Live broadcast ^ | 11/25/03 | rushy

Posted on 11/25/2003 9:59:43 AM PST by Mark Felton

Rush has spent the last several minutes likening Bush to Nixon. Nixon gave us OSHA and the EPA. Bush is giving us Prescription Medicine benefits for seniors.

Rush says the Republican party cannot claim to be the party of smaller government.

This sounds likme the OLD Rush of 10 years ago!

Go Get Em Rush!

Rush favored the $200 billion debt financed war to build a welfare state in Iraq, surely he can't seriously complain about free drugs for seniors?

Awesome! Just goes to show you off-base Daschle was last year when he bitched and moaned that people like Rush are nothing more than mouthpieces for the White House.

I think W is a much better man than Nixon. But I agree with Rush that W's expansion of government and big-spending are very disappointing.

They haven't been the party of smaller government since they took control of the house and senate in the 1994 elections. They had a few good months, then they started spending like drunked sailors. Not a single budget for the department of "education" has ever been smaller than the one from the previous year. It's the same with all of the other departments.

Are you competent? To not engage in the war would have been disastrous for the world economy and western civilization in general.

Iraq financed terrorism and had on-going coordination with Al Queda. (see latest Feith memo)

Careful, there! -- Free Republic posters have the standard motto:

"Republican gooooood. Everyone else, baaaaaaaaad."

This is a slow news day. It is amazing that nobody seems to be doing anything especially interesting or important anymore.

"I think W is a much better man than Nixon."

Limbaugh's gone out of his way to stress that he does not think Bush is like Nixon as a person or with regards to foreign policy (on this, he compares Bush favorably with Reagan)...however, the seeming love for a domestic spending bonanza is a trait common to both Bush and Nixon!!

He actually said the same thing 10 months ago. Yada, yada, yada, GW=Nixon.

Now he makes a bad joke about going to rehab to soon.

Rush is his old self, politically naive and politcally bombastic.

Rush interviewed Ed Gillespie, so,he can't be too surprised about any of this.

I knew that the Left had gone around the bend mentally for good when they stopped comparing Bush to Hitler and started comparing him to Nixon. Sorry to see Rush do this.

"They had a few good months, then they started spending like drunkard sailors."

Their ability to spend could stand to be restricted. End the income tax, maybe.

Rush is right. And, I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but I'm beginning to believe my John Bircher friends know what they're talking about re: the fact that Bush is no limited government conservative.

Oh, I'll probably hold my nose and vote for him (again) as the lesser of two evils, but it's rather disappointing, to be quite honest about it.
