Tell me what programs you would do without.

Every program not authorized by the United States Constitution.

Well, I know that if you can have people take their meds, the long term effects of illness with its increased morbidity will be lessened.

How is that MY problem, thus involving MY money?

Do you really think that the democrats would have made it for less?

Of course not. But a GOP Congress would not cooperate with a DemonRat president like they have w/ GWB.

And now that Bush has control of the medicare drug bill, there then will follow control of the social security.

Ha! Massive expansion? SS is one of those programs I want abolished.

Without a doubt, the strength of the republican control in white house and congress will be evident in the second term. Don't you ever wonder why the democrats want to be in control so much? It is about controlling the agenda and forcing their liberal views on us.

Right. And the Republican agenda appears to involve relinquishing control to the DemonRats and forcing their liberal views on us.

"How is that MY problem, thus involving MY money?"

Well if you call yourself a conservative and maybe a christian, I do believe that we all have a duty to help one another out. Why are you complaining about medicare and your money when the government spends so much money on needless things--like aroma therapy, monies sent to the UN, monies sent to Palestine, monies spent in congressional salaries. there are more and more instances where monies should not be spent. But your idea of doing away with medicare might be right but it is not done overnite. It takes a little bit at a time--chipping away at the infrastructure. With medicare kept within private enterprise and with monies spent (which you have been spending since you first got your first paycheck for hospital and doctor payments, and medical supplies, etc spent ina more efficient manner)perhaps there will be a change. REmember, change takes time and unless you trust your president (which I know you don't) then you will not see the whole picture. Trust me, give an inch of medicare monies to private enterprise and not to government and then we will be heading toward less government.

And you really think that we as conservatives would do better with a democratic president. HUh!?? The whole fight boils down to what judges do in interpreting the constitution. Get liberal judges and all your conservative views and believes will be nothing but memories. Look at the whole picture. Under Clinton--more taxes and the republican run congress could not change it, under CLinton vetoed partial birth ban and the republican run congress could not change it, under Clinton liberal SC judges and the republican controlled congress could do nothing about it. Get real, The captain the boss is the head--get rid of the head and the rest of the body suffers.

Support the president--keep him on tract with conservatism, but don't walk away into the open arms of the liberals. You only hurt yourself and me and the rest of us fighting to prevent liberal views.
