You sir are a liar. I never said any such thing. I would vote for nearly any Republican over a Democrat but that does not mean I would give that Republican a positive rating when they do not act like a conservative.

Just because someone has an R next to their name does not make them a conservative. How conservative is this?

About half of the Bush discretionary spending increase went for Homeland security and defense.

That doesn't mean I want Clinton back in office but it does mean we should be expecting a hell of a lot more from Republicans in the future.
