Just think. If it wasn't for all of the fiscally conservative Republicans in Congress and a Republican President working so hard to keep a lid on spending and promoting limited government, we might have hit this debt ceiling as early as last week. < /sarcasm >

I'll give him that much.

Intriguing possibility.

Maybe he'll actually be a REAL fiscal conservative.

That much, and your wallet. Some AIDS art group in SoHo will appreciate your cash "given" to them by "the government".

He is. Getting him to run, get the nomination, and win is our job.

No no, that was the 2000 election. In 2004 it was the "Democracy 2004-2008 Tour" platform.

And Supreme Court judges.

Look on the bright side.

Now you can buy a helicopter with helicopter money and cut out the middle man.
