Throw your vote away on Dean or Hillary then and spare us your drivel.

Bush's domestic policies are questionable but he's DAMN sure better than the alternatives.

Or better yet, regain control of our elected officials.

I wonder if every election season for now on we'll have some third party popping up. Alas, I fear that the only way a 'new' third party could possibly succeed is by capturing the college vote...

Oh, wait, Dean's doing that to hijack the Democrat party. Hey, wow, look - it actually works.

mainly because the president doesn’t seem to mean what he says.

The last person to think that was Saddam Hussien. I'm willing to bet we'll see substantial spending cuts next year after Bush wins a landslide.

Right, insure the election of Howard Dean if you can't have exactly the politics you want.
A few generations under the Socialist whip will probably bring people around to your point of view. Of course, we will all be dead and our descendants will be powerless to do anything about it, but you will have stood on principle.

Bush has grown the federal government way more than I like.

Gore or Bush, I got a bigger government, a more intrusive government, a more expensive government...

I voted for Bush because I wanted a smaller federal government...he let me down. So did his dad. Enough.

Oh please! Bush ONLY eliminated two murderous terrorist regimes, put several more on notice, captured a dictator, cut taxes twice, began the dismantling of Medicare and later Social Security, and restored honor and dignity back in the WH.

Don't like Bush's spending then pressure your Congresscritters. The last time I looked Congress controls the nation's wallet, not the President.

Its trillion dollar deficit spending with a little trickle down to stimulate the economy
Outsourcing jobs to China and India
Most favored trading partner communist China
Homieland security and transportation safety throwing 400 million at states for mandatory seatbelt laws primary stops
Open borders and no profiling muslims
No guns for commerical cargo pilots
VA hospital cuts...wounded soldiers hidden away in Army bases with crappy care
Citizenship and or amnesty for illegal aliens
Clinton and cronies escape without punishment
Signing of Incumbent Protection Laws...masquerading as CFR....
Black Robbed Thugs usurping the legislative process...
Many dissapointments

The only other choice is Dean, Ketchup Boy, or Hillary....then watch the list of complaints grow beyond eternity

The dems are driving the ship of state over the waterfall at 100mph and the pubbies at 35mph
Not much of a choice - imo

Stop the hit and runs and prove that you can think for yourself. If you have a point to make, stay long enough to make it instead of relying only on the ideas of others. Otherwise, you are a troll and worthy of no further consideration.

When terrorists strike again under a President Hillary or Dean a bigger federal government and Bush's spending will be the least of your worries.

These posts aren't for you and me.

They're for the malcontents to rally around to high-five each other like high-school sophomores.

There's no War on Terror in their small-minded worlds.

Yep, and you ain't seen nothin yet. Now we got a made up war, the Patriot Act, a contracting economy and budget busting spending. I doubt that we can survive another four years of GW.

Perhaps people are missing the strategy here. The only reason that many Democrats are in favor of signing onto increasing government largesse is that the program through it is dispensed is designated as a Democrat program, brought to you by the good and benevolent folk that represent your gerrymandered minority-and-Democrat majority district. These programs, however, turn out in the end to be largely "feel-good" and do more to feed the bureaucracy than to serve the need for which it was created.

Now there is a subtle difference in the "big-government" spending plans that are put forth by the Republican majority and those that are put forth in years past by Democrat majorities. The Republican program is designed to actually engage and mitigate the problem it is supposed to address, while the Democrat programs only built constituencies amd propagated the problem into eternity.

If you can't stop the locomotive, at least switch it onto the tracks you want it to follow.
