Morphing? They've been the party of "same but less" for decades. That should have been obvious with the drugs for geezers bidding war during the election.

More cheap shots. The issue of this thread has to do with Bush`s liberal spending habits in 2005. Not what happened in Beruit in 1983.

The President doesn't have line item veto power. SCOTUS took it away.
Clinton v. New York. Insanity.

Rohrbacher and company are too cowardly to actually cut spending.
He and the other House Republicans have the power of the purse, not Bush.
To: yarddog
Is that why Reagan won in a landslide? With carter/mondale as your opponents, that is not exactly a difficult task, IMO.
BTW, no coat tails in the House.

No, it's about Chickens*** Rohrbacher blaming his lack of testicular fortitude on someone else.
To: Dane
Read the article Dane and stop trying to cause trouble. There are 110 GOP House members looking to cut spending. You want to ignore 4-1/2 years of liberal spending by this President. Why? That is not conservative politics.
Reagan did sign the IRCA of 1986. That was a mistake. Bush wants to give backdoor amnesty to illegals and call it a guest worker program. Bush wants to make the same mistake Reagan made. That's stupid! Btw. If the main enforcement point of the IRCA was folllowed, punishing employers who hired illegals, the one time amnesty deal would have paid off and the IRCA would have been a success. Bush wants to leave the US borders wide open, in hopes that Hispanics will vote Republican in 2006 and so businesses will continue to have a flow of cheap labor.

PrseBush is the leader of the GOP. Rohrbacher is not the leader of the GOP. Bush has sat back for 4-1/2 years and signed off on every spending bill that came before him. Not one veto. That's why Bush is spending more on welfare and entitlement today, then any POTUS before him. Bush will go down as a big government Republican and a liberal spender. Not a domestic legacy to be proud of.

Congress has the power of the purse. Bush is not Congress. Rohrbacher is a member of Congress.
Bush has sat back for 4-1/2 years and signed off on every spending bill that came before him. Not one veto."
And Rohrbacher voted for every one of those spending bills.

I won't be voting for Bush again. That I can guarantee.LoL! Me either darnit. I mean, he's seems like he doesn't even care about a third term!

THis is crap, under Reagan the budget exploded not only defense spending but ever dept increased greatly. During their first three years in office, Reagan CUT nondefense discretionary spending 13.5%. Bush raised it 20.8%. Sorry guys. Don't disparage Reagan's name to make Bush seem like less of a disaster. We made a mistake with him, thinking he was different from his father. Lets admit it and not do it again.

Cong Rohrabacher, Franks, Tancredo and the other Congressmen in the 110 member Republican Study Committee, want to get federal spending under control. NOW!
Then they best get their House in order as I believe that spending legislation comes from the House of Representatives, doesn't it?. And finally merged with the Senates desires.... So to really control and get it under control they best get their little fiedoms in order.
- Things like perpetual programs with annual adjusted increases......
- Pet projects in their districts... bringing home the bacon so to speak
When they get their little areas cleaned up I think they'll have room to bitch and moan about others. So let them get on with the program and get the populace [their constituents] behind them and I bet it will happen. jmo.

>>>>Bush is not Congress.Bush has no influence over the GOP Congress?
Wrong.
Bush has tremendous influence over the GOP Congress.
The problem is Bush and most of the Republicans in Congress are on the same page. They both support liberal spending legislation. Bad policy shouldn't be the refuge for conservatives.

A classic democrat divide and conquer thread to be bookmarked started by a so-called "true conservative".
Reagan Man even pulled out the victim card on this one, NP.

"Bush has tremendous influence over the GOP Congress."
Apparently, he has so much power over Congress that he can force Rohrbacher to vote for the very spending bills he's whining about...
