This has been one really good week for the Liberals. I wonder: if we do get the Senate back in November, will any of this stop?
Wow. That's impressive. You just twisted your own mind to actually state that promising $600 million to programs (that will not work, and will see HUGE amounts of loss due to corruption and bureaucracy) in just two days is actually a bargain deal for the American taxpayer. Congratulations.

If the RNC wants us to vote for Republicans,they should run some actual Republicans for office,not "Dims in Disguise" like Giddy Dolt. Why SHOULD we be expected to vote for people who we don't agree with on ANY issue?
How does a pandering, African Education pork-barrel proposal "promote the general welfare" or "provide for the common defense" of American Citizens and Sovereignty?
You are taking a page from the Leftists when you promote this type of anti-Constitutional overreach. The Welfare and Commerce Clauses in particular have been stretched and abused beyond all recognition to steal rights and power from the "we the people" and invest it in the federal government, to its corruption.
It's whoredom to sell our Constitution so cheaply.
Sooner or later a Democrat is going to be President again, and he or she will be up to all kinds of unconstitutional mischief, some of it based on precedents affirmed by this nonsense of Bush's that you keep defending.
And you're gonna wonder, "How can they get away with it?"
Because people like you told them they could, when you all found it convenient to pimp the Constitution for a President you happened to like.
Ben, you see quite a few angry people on FR for the same reason. You need to know there are many voters out here who are questioning all this spending; ordinary people who read the local newspapers, watch the local and cable news, and they're getting the same message. These are working and retired people, who have one hell of a time making ends meet with current taxes, and they simply don't have any more to give. You surely can't believe we won't have tax increases.
If the people in Africa don't know by now what is causing AIDS, I have to guess they never will, perhaps don't care, and no amount of money will change that.
But here they [Bushbots] come..."
All I hear is crickets chirping...
It must be said -- if an assessment of Dubya's performance as a so-called conservative, much less a RINO thus far excluded his post 9/11 handling of the "war on terrorism", it would be lame to say the least.
Are expectations of GOP candidates to uphold a committment to principled conservatism these days that low??
Actually it is our money that the government continues to confiscate and the sheeple continue to give. All politicians are the same. They will just hand money out right and left because it's NOT THEIR MONEY!! They have an endless supply, which is our hard earned cash. They could not care less about bettering the American people. They only care about keeping their power and that means spend, spend, spend. After all, very few of the sheeple complain!
Interesting that while our schools fall apart and become third world rated, we are pouring money overseas.
Ah yes, it's good to have a Republican president!!
I actually believe we will see a combination. Africans will soon sue us for "the damage caused by taking the best and brightest from their continent" for use as our slaves. Reparations for the Africans, I am sure some lawyers have already thought of it.
. . . with the question of:
Why doesn't he ship that 'extra' tax money to the schools in the states - and see if he can gets these children readin' BEFORE the Third Grade ??
But we have a Republican in the WH so it's okay, right???
This is getting ridiculous. I don't like to see much spent on social/welfare type programs, but if it's going to be spent, screw Africa and spend it on our own people, we've got plenty of people here in the US that need the money/help as bad or worse than somebody overseas who is just going to end up hating us 10 years down the road. It could also be used to payoff our national debt.
Your right, it will end up in the hands of warlords and dictators and the local thugs.
