You buy into the libs’ rationale that they’re entitled to spend on every freaking program that strikes em. I don’t.

Only liberals think it’s a choice between raise taxes and keep spending, or don’t raise taxes and keep spending—and yes, that includes people with putative R’s after their names who vote for that crap. They’re de facto liberals by virtue of the votes they cast.

You’re trying to justify the out of control gov’t spending with the tired whine that “George Bush did it.” Yeah, he did, and it was wrong-headed then, too. Conservatives are sick about it, and sick and tired of it, no matter who does it.

I notice you ignored the constitutional aspect in favor of the straw man argument.

My point isnt that I would personally support Obama’s raising any taxes. I would not, mainly because he promised not to raise them so screw him. My point is that ‘so called’ conservatives want their cake and eat it too, OK for them to run debts, but bad for democrats, using all types of silly kids arguments. At least when they raise our taxes, it forces them to make sure we want the spending the taxes are funding or they get thrown out. If fatso is getting free health care, then you have to reduce his sugar consumption.

I dont know what you mean by constitution, seems running up huge debts for future generations should not be defended by meaningless phrases blaming the constitution. Seems like if there was any threat of being stopped by courts, you wouldnt care. And I am sure you are getting some benefit from government, someone could call unconstitutional,
