Never heard of him. Does he work for Soros?
Crackpot.
Gee, and I don't suppose that war thing in Iraq and Afganistan has anything to do with the fact that Bush is spending more money.
Just another irrelevant fellow who once enjoyed a measure of fame hoping to get back in the bright lights. I call Old Goofball.
YEAH... Teach 'em a lesson Viggie!
'Course, you'll only end up hurting the GOP, the country AND conservatives!
It CERTAINLY won't hurt leftists. In FACT it is what they are HOPING for... us to bring out the long knives for each other!
Don't be silly. The DoD percentage of the GDP is relatively similar to what Clinton(3.5% vs. 4.1) spent during his time in office.
Carter spent more per GDP on the DoD than Bush. If we are at WW3 I would expect at least 5%+ going to the DoD. Thats simply not the case.
Never heard of him. Does he work for Soros?
Never heard of him. Does he work for Soros?He was a great architect of early conservative grass roots organizations. A genius for direct mail fund raising. He should be thanked and never forgotten for that work. But, now he is just plain wrong. I am as mad as anyone at Congress. But, Conservatives have never numbered more than 1/3 of the GOP. Yet, without that 1/3 the GOP cannot get elected. And, with the GOP IN power, conservatives at LEAST have a seat at the table. Without the GOP in power conservative have and will ALWAYS have NOTHING politically. No seat at the table. No half a loaf. No influence at all. It will be 1964 all over again with conservatives on the outside looking in. If Viggie wants to have NOTHING, then abandoning the GOP will do it for him. Whether we like it or not, politics is a game of the POSSIBLE, a world of coalitions and compromise. Not a utopian dreamworld where anyone can get everything they want. In FACT, our very system is set up to help assure that no one gets ALL they want.
Thanks for the info.
For a moment I thought I was better known!

You must be quite young, or new to conservative activism.
Well, those things aside, the you have to admit that the pubbies have been working to be more "compassionate" than "conservative" since we've held both the legislative and executive branches... I think that they've done it to take away a lot of the dems "issues." Of course, the media doesn't give them any "credit."
But lets face it... Congress has been spending money on non-defense programs in a way that gives "drunken sailors" a bad name. More like a teenager who's got daddy's platinum card at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch!

You must be quite immature.
I am older than the hills overlooking the plains.
Unless you have read everything by Jack London, Hemmingway, Sinclair Lewis, Shakespeare, and know the Niebelungenlied, you are as stated above.
Chues!
He is right about one thing: the Republican leadership is NOT conservative. They are Christian Socialists. The GOP needs to get back to the basic, libertarian conservatism that Jefferson, Goldwater and Reagan represented.
I'm hardly immature. But as there is little worth in conversing with ad hominem fools, I'll leave you to your self-adulation.
Thank you.
This old, used up, vile man should be ignored by all.
This vile man needs to just shut up.
