And, I agree with him 100%. Spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, repeat SPEND! SEVERAL HUNDERED TIMES!

[JohnGalt]

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?

[Gunder]

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.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

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.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Newt has had a different take on it.

[Mudboy Slim]

I'm also listening and considered starting a thread on this...thanks fer saving me the trouble.

FReegards...MUD

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.

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

"Republican gooooood. Everyone else, baaaaaaaaad."

They'll turn on ya', here!! ;-)

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.

[monkeywrench]

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

[Az Joe]

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.

[Marathoner]

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.

[tomakaze]

I'm listening right now.
It's obvious and he's 100% right. I'm just amazed he's stating it out loud.

[gimmealewinsky]

I know the circumstances, but the last # I saw had the Gov't spending up 27%(!!!!) in less than two years. NOW we're going to add another 400 bill. over the next ten.?! Unbelievable.
It is also laughable to believe that # won't quadruple or more as more people age, take these drugs to live longer to consume more drugs, and with the working americans picking up the tab there is little incentive to keep prices under control.
Not to mention NO MEANS TESTING??? The wealthiest segment of our society leaning on younger people trying to make a go of it is downright UN-American.
Forcing the younger generations to pay the tab for something the elderly never paid into is nothing more than big gov't theft. Pay for their drugs or we can take your house, fine you, even deny you your liberty. Yep this is great. (fuming).

[BibChr]

Blah blah blah blah.

And still there are only two viable political parties, and only one of them is home to pro-lifers, pro-1Amdters, pro-2Amdters, etc.

If the Demo party en masse switches and becomes pro-life, pro-Constitution, then I'll go back to being a Democrat.

Meanwhile, there are two viable choices, and the GOP is the better of the two. Still by a wide margin.

[Archangelsk]

And the Republicans are fiscal conservatives exactly how?

[BlackbirdSST]

'bout time! Blackbird.

[epluribus_2]

Hey Rush, Love ya but ain't Compassionate Conservatism a B*&^ch! This is what he said he would do - and he did it. Good Texan. He is so damned smart it's killing the Dems. Makes Clinton blush. And it can be tuned (fixed) later.

[Ff--150]

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

The myth of the two-party system, or The Emperor's New Clothes. Oh, the snickering and wit in donning tin-foil hats...

[Protagoras]

If indeed he thinks this, he is correct.

Now the Bush/bots who are also Rush/bots will run around screaming and pulling their hair out. What's a hero worshiper to do?
