Carrot Top sez: Be calm and quiet in large crowds.
Dubya was for big spending before he was against it.
LOL! The president must think we are stupid indeed...
Although it is laughable, it also makes you sad to see Bush reduced to such transparent political gimmicks as this one.
Libertarian ping! To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here. Quit confiscating it to begin with and let the people spend their own money, if that's what they choose.
As he prepares to deal with an opposition Congress for the first time, Bush is also asking lawmakers to extend tax cuts.
*snort* While he's at it the president should politely ask them to resign their posts in favor of their Republican challengers and then volunteer for combat duty in Iraq. If you're going to ask for something ridiculous, you might as well go all the way over the top.
It might be a bit more credible had he given a sh!t about it when his own party was in power.
Wow, indeed. Too bad the taxpayers didn't have line-item veto when Bush funded the NEH, CPB, and agriwelfare.
This tactic is used to make the dim's look bad..."See, see, the democrats are big spenders", what our weak kneed Republicans try to use but they just don't get it, they had their chance and they wimped out and they were kicked out of office for it.
Grow some brass ones or you will never be the majority again.
"That boy, ah say, that boy's got about as much chance as a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest!"
Whatever the outcome, we can rest assured Republicans will be blamed.
Now - as far as this "spending control" goes, every series Presidential candidate in my lifetime has run with that issue as part of their campaign, and all who have been elected have at least pretended to fight for that while in office. Except one it seems.
And here is another True Thing: Every single piece of legislation to come out of the upcoming Congress is going to have something in it, germane to the parent legislation or otherwise, that is bad for America, courtesy of the Democrat leadership, and not a single one of those bills will have passed without Republican votes.
With all of this in mind, I think we should take up a collection and order a pallet of Sharpies (that would be somewhere near 108 gross or 15,552 of them), specially engraved with "VETO PEN", and send them to the President. Maybe he'd get a clue then.
In other news, a herd of winged unicorns has been sighted roaming the streets of Georgetown.
It's about time again for him to push for an amendment to ban gay marriage.
