I'm not stating that I will not vote for GWB. His recent demands for cuts in the federal budgets in 2006 are convincing me to vote his way as well as the need for a continuation of leadership in the situations we are in.
But I will not sit idly by and support liberal legislation that gets passed under the conservative banner. I never will. I will call a spade a spade. If we don't, if we say that it's ok to $100 billion increases to Medicaid, then aren't conservatives no different than the modern liberals?
No. The thing you have to factor in is the People of the USA get to decide what the government will do. If legislators don't do what the People want done then they are voted out of office and replaced with legislators who will do what the People want. There was no choice in the matter. Medicaid reform was inevitable the only question was will Republicans give control of the country back to the 'rats by ignoring the will of the People.
In my opinion the package passed by our Republican Congress is better and less costly than the 'rat version.
