I love GWB for his tax stance and foreign policy, War On Terror, etc. However, I am not thrilled with his spending habits. But is there an alternative? As in, a way to get what we all really want? I don't think third parties are the answer--the only way to make it happen is to get more Republicans to grow some balls and live out Reagan's dreams--but more so. Eliminate some departments, phase out the income tax and phase in a NRST or something similar.
Conservatives have to push back the RINOs. What you're seeing in the GOP is a war for the heart and soul of the party. That's why there are those who are hostile to the Reagan vision. The answer cannot be to let them win because we won't fight for what he lived and died for.
Bush and Co have increased spending on PBS and NPR and the National Endowment for the Arts. You really think there is a chance in the world this party would abolish a department without transfering it all into another?? and it would cost taxpayers billions of extra dollars, of course.
