WE ARE AT WAR! Things cost more as well! Just what we need, a supposed republican trashing the President. There are enough leftist trash books out there right now. Eat your own you moron, and perhaps Hitlery will be President!

This thread started out discussing Richard Viguerie's assertion in "Conservatives Betrayed," that "Bush spending up 5 times more than Clinton." Returning to that theme, note that he said, ""When we strip away defense, homeland security and entitlements and adjust for inflation, leaving only discretionary domestic spending, George W. Bush has grown the federal government at a faster pace than Lyndon Baines Johnson," Viguerie writes. "His record for profligate spending is outmatched (for the time being) only by another Big Government Republican, Richard Nixon.

I also said and I'll repeat it since you obviously didn't read it: "When are you going to get off the kick of defending Bush? He's a "has-been," and he'll never be re-elected. I accept that.

The problem isn't with Bush, except that he should have been providing fiscal leadership and using his veto, but that's past history.

The problem is with the Republican leadership in Congress, and especially the House. Until and unless the Republicans leadership in Congress realize that many of us who voted for them are pissed off at what they're doing, they're not going to change. They're playing to the big campaign contributors/lobbyists instead of the people who vote for them. There's only one way to get the message through, and it's not by returning them to power."

The war has nothing to do with it! And I'm not attacking a Republican President during wartime! I'm attacking the Republican idiots in Congress who are about to destroy the majority (that I worked for 40 years to help create) because of their free-spending, big government ways.

In the future, please read the thread before attacking.
