as opposed to Al Gore's email. right? a free ride like that? you guys are silly. there's simply no other way to characterize your beliefs other than silly.

Take a good look at New Jersey and that will be the whole country in 2004 or 2008. What you had was Christy Whitless spending like a drunken sailor. Then we got a RAT candidate, McGreevey, promising to be more fiscally responsible than the Republicans. He gets elected and raises taxes by blaming the excesses of the previous administration. I doubt Bush will raise taxes, but he is setting the stage for a democrat victory in 2004 or 2008 who will. We need to dump Bush overboard in the 2004 primaries.

In a time of war you don't worry about money. You worry about survival. Elementary...

That might be true if we were spending the money on the means to survival. Hover most of it is being wasted. Tell me, if you were worrying about survival would you go out and rack up massive credit card debt on stereos and dvds?

Good point. Bush's Ashcroft seems clearly better on the Second Amendment than we'd get with a Gore nominee.

As to socialist agenda, I just translate that to government social programs and domestic spending proposals. The two parties seem about the same, with some differences.

For example, the Dems want to keep social security as it is, with the Reps hinting at reform. Bush, on the other hand, took the lead in expanding the role of the Feds in education.

I miss the bold talk of 94 - "Abolish the NEA".

I don't mind the increased spending at all as the administration has also proposed a significant tax decrease. Think about it. The best way to prevent increased spending in the future is to make the federal government de-facto bankrupt now.

Maybe you should cut down on the size of the links list you put up with every post, it's distracting (move them to your profile page, for example).

Otherwise, keep up the good work. It's not enough to cut taxes, Bush has to cut spending, too. This stuff is going to catch up with us, especially as the population starts moving onto social security in higher and higher numbers.
