*shrugs* guess youll have to wait for one to enter the thread. but with just a 2 party system youll end up with many different viewpoints being assigned that title. so not all republicans would be fiscal conservatives. it could be a lot worse though...especially if someone is elected that wants to do more spending. |
At least we can all rest assured that the title will be pretty hard to wrench from Mr. Bush. Our tax structure is as much of a problem as our spending structure. You just don't cut taxes when numbers are this bad.
Let's apply free market principles. What if a private company was running a $200 billion deficit for multiple years? It would be bankrupt. It would be stupid, and in some cases criminal, for a company to do this to its shareholders.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
