More like a Bruce Barlett Barf alert. Any man that sucks up to Lou Dobbs has no credibility.
Guess he forgot too that Reagan signed the 1986 Tax Reform bill that left his successor in a recession.
Guess he forgot that Reagan raised taxes on corporations.
Guess he thinks that educating the poor by forcing testing on students and teachers won't make America stronger.
Guess he thinks that paying for preventive medicine won't help Medicare and Medicade in the long run.
Yup, IMO, he's an opportunist with no vision for the future.
"More like a Bruce Barlett Barf alert. Any man that sucks up to Lou Dobbs has no credibility."
You probably won't be sharing any comments about the words or positions of Bartlett or Dobbs, since your vocabulary seems to stop at "barf" and "sucks."
Once Republicans lose the votes of those who are only voting against the Democrats, and not for them, they will be in serious political trouble.
And he sure has a strange analogy to 1974. He's not talking Watergate, after all.
Guess someone needs to teach Bruce Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment. But then this is not about principals this is about Bruce selling his book. Actually DEFENDING the Right would not get Bruce invited to all the right TV shows to hype his book. Just another Republican sell out whoring for the Junk media.
More nonsense from the Whine All the Time Choir. The old fraud that they were ever on our side to start with. Their 100% knee jerk constant opposition to Bush no matter the topic indicates they are NO Conservatives. If they were ever truely on our side their would have some things they agree with Bush on. The fact that they opposition is 100% indicates they are not really Conservatives at all. Just more fringe 3 part types who lack the courage to actually tell the truth about the polical fringe dogma. If it were not this they would be whining about something else. The only loyaly they have is to their daily whining.

Yup. You said it.
Everyone who's against Bruce Bartlett thinks Ronald Reagan sucks, so who cares what Bartlett has to say? /sarc
Do these people think that by dragging Reagan down somehow Bush becomes a conservative? Do they think that somehow maligning Reagan makes Bartlett wrong?
Although he is far from perfect, these are big things that mean a lot to me.
I continue to support Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and Rice and like minded members of the administration.
At least Lou aired some Able Danger not seen elsewhere - his first brownie poiny AFAIC
As far as spending goes, every President spends more money than the last, and Ronald Reagan (My personal hero) spent more than his share, and I agreed with most of it. Just as I do with most of GWB's spending. GWB started out with a 2.0 Trillion Dollar budget, it's now 2.6 Trillion and that includes all the spending after 9/11, except for actual funding for Military Operations. This means GWB has increased spending by roughly 25%. Ronald Reagan increased spending by well over 200% while he was in office and nobody can look back and say he was a failure, we all complained as it was happening, but most of it was needed to fight and win the cold war. The same thing is happening today. We Must win this War against radical Islam and I don't see anybody more capable of making sure that happens than George W. Bush.
We will miss him terribly in 2009, especially if all the people on our side get hysterical over things like how quickly the Federal Government responded to an event Like Katrina, Cheney Hunting accident, Lease sales of Port Terminals to one of our few Allies in the Middle East and pave the way for a Hillary Clinton or Russ Feingold to become our next President
Blind rats following the Pied Pipers that haven't kept faith with their voters by not keeping their campaign promises towards a more limited Govt, but who instead began acting like Democrats, are just as ignorant and therefore despicably uncitizenship-like, as those who re-elected FDR's criminal ass were.
The sad fact is that WE'VE had the freaking majority the whole time and yet have buckled to Democrats on half the major issues. Even if they would have spent more means squat, we didn't have to buy anything from them, just as they didn't from Reps during the whole 44+ years they grew the beast they controlled both houses of.
And to the person defaming RWR's spending - it was primarily on the Democrat congress in control HE HAD to compromise with. Revenues doubled under RWR's 8 years too, and I'm not convinced that spending tripled as the left would have us think.
Bartlett is a free trader...[/shock, gasp]
Get with the program. BOTH sides aim to control our lives and W has proved it by compromising with Rats and doing things RWR would NEVER had considered.
Bartlett is dead right, and he is right to call on conservatives to demand a redress for failure to promote a re-limiting of this corrupt pig of a Govt that covers up it's own responsibility for 9/11 with a whitewash commisssion full of liars and finger pointers.
Individual happiness is inversely proportional to the size of Govt - in case you've forgotten our founding principles.
