You can keep trotting out this tired old line if you want, but you know it ain't so.
Democrats are socialist thieving parasites.
My problem with the GOP, is that they're doing their level best to be just like 'em.
You can make excuses for 'em if you want to... rationalizations about "political necessity" and "real world problems" and "give a little to get a little"... but the fact is, Bush spends like a drunken sailor.
And he spends on social programs, and the kind of federal expansionist nonsense that you used to loathe in the democrats.
Apparently it wasn't the policies you loathed.
Just the people enacting them.
