"I doubt we can survive another four years of GW"?

One reason libertarianism is a pipedream is that no administration gets to 'start from scratch', just clear the slates and start all over. You inherit the messes from prior administrations, and you do your best to operate within and around those messes and make the best of it. Bush inherited government deficit spending, he didn't invent it. We have to win the incrementalism game and to do so, we can't have a Dean or a Clinton win this next election. So some distasteful spending is implemented to help ensure Bush's reelection and undermine the opposition party which played far and away the bigger role in the 'messes' mentioned above. We'll try to make some strides in the coming years.
