I beg to differ, Miss Marple. Comparing Dubyuh to Nixon vis a vis domestic spending could--or at least should--serve as a wake-up call fer the Bush Administration that they have floated far too far to the Left on this bedrock principle of conservatism. We are about to embark on negotiations for the Appropriations bills and--hopefully--our goal should be to enforce some financial sanity on this spending binge that Dubyuh has spear-headed for the last three years!!

And I beg to differ with you, Mud. Please show me where Nixon signed any legislation, which had the seeds of reform in Medicare. You can't, so you knee jerkingly repeat the lie that Nixon=GW, to make yourself feel good, IMO.

Dude, JMO, but you are being the poster child of NEA self-esteem.

"Please show me where Nixon signed any legislation, which had the seeds of reform in Medicare. You can't..."

I cannot present facts that Nixon aggressively privatized any portion of the Federal Leviathan in his one-and-one-half terms as POTUS. Still, imho, Dubyuh's oft-demonstrated propensity to overspend** on domestic legislation to appease the RATS with compromise is as wrong-headed as Nixon's free-spending strategery of 30 years ago.

Thanks fer yer opinion, Dane, but the fact is I am remaining hopeful that Rush's comments will serve as an impetus fer Dubyuh and his Administration to right their course vis a vis out-of-control Federal domestic spending. Limbaugh was careful to point out that he does not equate Dubyuh with Bush as a person or as a ForeignPolicyMaker, and I agree with him. I like Dubyuh, I voted for him in '00 and expect to vote for him again next November, but even you have gotta admit that the BUSH/GOP team's outspending of Clinton and the RATS of '93-'94 is a shocker. Fiscal discipline is a Virtue conservatives should be embracing as a bedrock principle, imho. Don't you agree?!

FReegards...MUD

**BTW...by overspending, I refer to why a problem reportedly affecting 1.5 million seniors had to result in a program that provides an expensive Federal entitlement for 42 million seniors?! Including the privatization provisions couldda still been accomplished without using a sledgehammer to kill a mosquito.
