HEY THERE!
AMEN TO THAT!
I did vote for W..... but dang... the RINO's are driving me insane!
INSANE! And there was never any inkling of insanity within me BEFORE these elections.... not one shred....
I do not like RINOs, but do we really think that W is in the same category as Chaffee, Snowe, Collins, and McCain?
W campaigned on compassionate conservatism. He has followed up on items he campaigned on in 2000. He has advised Congress to spend less, yet they spend more.
Now it would be great if Congress had a spine and enforced spending discipline. It would also be great if there were no need for a War on Terror so that the President's attention were not diverted and he would feel as though he would be at the same risk his father was to Leon Panetta when Congress shut the government down because the Democrats were salivating for tax hikes.
But this is not the world we live in.
What I can point out is that this President did grow the economy by introducing tax cuts, which would be fabulous with responsible spending, but Congress, not President Bush, gave us the pork in the highway bill.
We love small government. So why is it that we do not hold Congress responsible? The higher we point the blame, the less responsible Congress becomes.
