Conservatives should love the fiscally conservative Dean.

So if Dean taxed us at 90 percent and spent it all, he'd be a fiscal conservative, just because the books balanced?

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son...

Well, hi there! I'm surprised to hear from you. Then again, you're probably surprised to have an account active for more than four minutes.

Yes, I do love Howard's fiscal conservatism. Please elect him to be the Dem Presidential nominee. I wish you all the success in the world!

Hungover, you are NOT going to trick us into voting for Dean by trying to convince us he's fiscally conservative. I'm sorry, but we're just not that dumb. I know how much you wish we were, but it's not going to happen.

See, Mr. Hungover, the problem is that Dean has no concept of how economics works on a national scale. He ran a balanced budget in a microscopic toy state which has almost no expense for its own police. The majority of the federal budget goes to national defense, which Dean not only doesn't know how to pay for, but intends to gut anyway.

Furthermore, Dean's plan to balance the budget involves taxing the nation to death. Now, this might work in the first year or two (thanks to Bush's economic stimulus package whose impact Dean would inherit), but it's the economic equivalent of strangling the goose that lays the golden eggs. See, Mr. Hungover, when you give people the freedom to earn and spend their own money, they tend to try and make as much of it as possible; tax them the way Dean is proposing, and the government ends up taking a whole lot of nothing.

Hence, there is NO WAY that Dean can be considered a "fiscal conservative", so just drop that shebboleth right now. I KNOW you got it from the deanforamerica blog (I visit there myself, subtly throwing in disinformation and watching you guys make asses of yourselves with it), but your belief that this would actually work shows just how little you know or understand. Try actually learning a thing or two about conservatives or about economics, and then come back to us when you're ready to talk.

We want Dean to be the Dem nominee. How can we help?

Although, you better stock up on your meds come next November. You are going to need them for the humiliation you are going to suffer. You'll be sure to join us again then. LOL

Best regards, S4T.
