Besides, the Democrats are lying. The minute they got in, they'd start spending like, well, like George Bush and the Republican Congress are spending. But there's a difference: they'd be spending it on their stuff. More social engineering. More government-dependency programs. More crosses soaked in more urine on more government grants.

So trillion dollar healthcare plans are not depending on government? 'Fixing' Social Security isn't depending on government? Pushing for passage of Constitutional Amendments on social issues (clearly a state issue) isn't social engineering? More dollars for federally funded education isn't government dependency and social engineering?

BTW, haven't seen the Republicans offering plans for dissolvement of the National Arts and funding thereof either. How are Republicans better than Democrats again?

How are Republicans better than Democrats again?

I guess it boils down to this: Democrats use the expansion of the welfare/warfare state for evil. Republicans use the expansion of the welfare/warfare state for good. (Good, of course, being defined as "that which is done by Republicans.")
