He ran as a compassionate conservate that wouldn't spend the social security surplus. I know we had Clinton recession, 9/11, and 2 fairly minor wars compared to WW2.

But the Moon and Mars Trip, the NEA increase, Farm Bill, Eduction Dept increase and all the pork continuously every year in Omnibus bills. BUt not one VETO.

He may have learned the lesson on raising taxes, but he has abnesia on reducing spending.

[Mr. Mojo]

BUt not one VETO.

I wonder if a President has ever made it through a whole term without vetoing a single bill?

[TheEaglehasLanded]

John Adams, the 2nd President of the United States is the only President to serve a full 4 year term to not use the Veto Pen.

James Garfield was the last not to use it for his Presidency which lasted 4 months before he was assassinated in 1881 I believe.

Thanks

Keep it up, Georgie Boy, and watch what happens.

You'll be getting a chance to work the counter at the Crawford Gift Shop about 4 years sooner than you think.

...the Moon and Mars Trip, the NEA increase, Farm Bill, Eduction Dept increase and all the pork continuously every year in Omnibus bills...not to mention that the new Medicare drug program has already been upped in estimated cost from four hundred million to five hundred million before even going into operation - smaller government indeed......

[Doctor Stochastic]

Bush's deficits are about the size of Carter's budgets.

[TheEaglehasLanded]

Somehow that's not good for Conservates, Bush Presidency being compared with Carter, the worst president of my lifetime economically

"You'll be getting a chance to work the counter at the Crawford Gift Shop"

And based on his Medicare Bill, someone will ask how much a trinket costs, Bush will say $4, and then when the guy says Okay, he'll put a $6 charge on his credit card.

but he has abnesia on reducing spending.

That sounds series.

President Kerry would certainly spend much less than President Bush.../sarcasm

[COEXERJ145]

My God, how many more threads of the exact same subject do we have to see every hour?

[Texasforever]

As many as their tantrum requires.

[PhiKapMom]

Some anti-Bush types are convinced if they keep putting up these threads over and over again that people will eventually believe them -- not going to work as long as there are Bush supporters left on FR to counter them.

They seem to be foregetting that John "Botox" Kerry is to the left of Ted Kennedy in voting and that is pretty hard to do. He is for cutting defense and spending on domestic programs. They complain now, they haven't seen anything yet if Kerry was elected.

Georgie Boy? How about Johnnie Botox boy?

[rebel]

Bush treats conservatives like the dems treat Blacks. He assumes we have nowhere else to go.

Well....this conservative is leaving the Bush plantation. I'll not vote for anyone who increases the scope and power of government.

I'll vote constitution party.

Bush pisses on conservatives and tells us he buy us a rain coat.

[Texasforever]

He assumes we have nowhere else to go.

Pretty much the same place you have told him to go to. The same place you told Bush 1 and Dole to go to. The difference is that Bush2 has done it in time to get his second term.

Interesting site that could explain a lot of what is happening on FR
