NOT EVERY REPUBLICAN FROM 2000-2006 deserves the sanctimonious ire of the holier-than-thou, most revered and reverend, Glenn Beck. Moreover, the GOP did not have supermajorities from '00-'06. A fact Beck conveniently forgets amid his clown antics.
Let me add to your excellent comments, an overlooked fact that Glenn also ignores. Republicans did go hog-wild with spending and earmarks, but democrats took control in ‘06 and they loaded-up defense bills and the bills for the wars that President Bush sorely needed so that he was stuck accepting them just to keep the troops funded.
