Sadly, though, his political skills are resulting in huge deficits, huge expansions of government size and power, burdens that we will carry years after Bush and friends are gone from the scene.

On the surface, you are correct. I have a theory about this though. I have been trying to formulate it and get facts to back it up, but I'm going to throw it out there and let the sharks rip it up.

My theory is that GW is trying to pander to the more moderate liberals (traditional democrats). Remember, he barely won the election in 2000. He needs all the numbers he can get. I think that GW is going to pull in enough people to get elected in 2004, then you will see him reduce the size of government. Reagan did this. He cut taxes in his first term, then cut government spending in his second term and came out smelling like a rose.

GW would be stupid to cut spending now and risk alienating the moderates that he has been grooming. I also think he throws them a political bone once in awhile. I am thinking about things like Medicare, etc.

I don't know. What do you think of the theory? Maybe it's just wishful thinking. I hope not.

Me thinks you nailed it on the head.

The deficits have more to do with the slowing economy than increased spending. Once the economy turns back on, and it is doing just that, the deficits will lessen.

Geo MUST win in '04, so he can implement responsible government policies (reduce spending).

The dems (Domestic Enemies) are desperately flailing at the gates of the castle, and their efforts will be in vain - backfire if we're lucky.

Americans want security (we've saved two countries from Islamic fanaticism - Iran, North Korea, and Cuba to follow) and economic recovery (Geo providing tax relief, the market is raising, jobs will come back soon).

Geo's cool, calm, collected style is quite calculated and focused - we are lucky to have such a man of steel at the helm at times such as these.

I am amazed how many pinko leftleftleft America haters there are out there. Let's hope they are a very small vocal minority.

Let's just pray that enough true Americans wake up from their TV induced coma and vote for freedom in '04.

I'll believe this when I see it. I don't see any indication that he is actually interested in reducing the size of the state. I could br wrong though, and suspect we'll have the opportunity to find out, as I really don't think anyone the rats have put forward so far have a snowball's chance in hades of winning.
