"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

At least the Witch of Chappaqua is honest about it (amongst her evil friends, anyway). GWB has given the federal government a 30% raise since taking office with zero vetoes.

No, Bush hasn't used vetoes.

Yes, the Government has grown.

But, it is not that simple. First, the Congress is also controlled by Republicans (in particular, conservatives) and they were unable to stop their branches spending as well.

Also, there are trade offs to the gains Bush has made for us. It would be like judging a war by the casualty list alone. The game is give and take, and Bush has far and beyond outweighed the negatives.

Under Bush, quite bluntly, we got money back. Money went FROM the government TO our pockets. How often does that happen? It talks, something else walks.

Finally, not voting for Bush in November (and any vote NOT for Bush IS a vote for Kerry) would be like trading in a lackluster diamond ring for a punch to the mouth.
