"...if the proposed limit is something like 2% annually for non-discretionary spending, not too bad."

The latest figure being bandied about is 1%...

"...we're willing to let the White House into the party even if they showed up late."

Heck yeah, I want to be an enthusiastic supporter of Dubyuh's domestic agenda, just like I already am an enthusiastic supporter of his Foreign Policy!!

"BTW, Slim, you know that if the conservatives weren't preparing a real bloodbath for the RINOs, there would never have been any cutting back from 4% growth to 0.5% growth as just happened in the last week. And there would have been no proposal to impose these spending limits."

It needn't be a bloodbath, my FRiend...I want the BigSpending RINOs to lay their cards on the table and stand up strong fer their DemonRAT-lite proclivities!! When we knock them off their pedestals, I don't want there to be any dispute that they got what was coming to them!!

"Anyway, the history of past spending limits is a little sour but not entirely bad."

The devil's in the details, fer sure, but it's up to us to make sure OUR legislators put the appropriate teeth into the bill to make the spending restraints stick!! We can use past failures to guide us towards not making the same mistakes again!!

"Still, I want cuts this year, not spending limits that may or may not happen in some faraway Congressional session."

Can I quote you on that, Mr. President?! Means a lot coming from the man himself...LOL!!

"I'd say that the general of our army, Rove, is scurrying to get back in front of the army so he can 'lead' us. Just my opinion."

Rove's a political animal, a professional, if you will...you can bet he heard Limbaugh's condemnation on Thursday, and the general din of dissatisfaction coming steadily from the Right for quite awhile. We on the Right sincerely want Dubyuh to win in a landslide that has coattails that bring in another 5-6 Senators and 15-20 Congresspersons next November, but it ain't gonna happen if Dubyuh insists upon alienating his RightWing Base. If he and his advisors can get this thru their collective noggin, this Fall oughtta be quite rewarding fer all good Americans!!

Oh, please, Lord, let it be so...

Hey, I've said it till I'm blue in the face but here it is again: It's not Bush. It's the Congress. Because the Constitution says so!

Bush doesn't enter into it either way (but he is a good war president and commander). Our spending beef is with Congress. They're the ones writing the hot checks. The Founders gave them, not the president, the federal checkbook.

As for the rest of your remarks, I'd like to see us pass a reduced federal budget (with or without spending limits), get it out of the way and settle back to shoot Dims like ducks in a row in November. But one thing at a time. None of this Congress throwing money at people who hate you to pander to them and spending like drunken Dims and then trying to cuddle up to the conservative base for the election.
