Then came the monster... Bush II more than doubled the deficit...now under Bush II each man women and child (if divided up pro rata) owes more than $30,000.00.
This spend like crazy while cutting taxes has almost ruined the country...and for what?
We had no "fall of the iron curtain" benefit from Bush II.
If after Bush II...if you still vote Republican...you are either a top 1 per cent-er (because they were the only group that has benefitted) or you are stupid.
The idea that the Democrats are the "tax and spend" party is an outright lie...
The Republicans are the "borrow the money from the Chinese and spend" party....and that is the undeniable truth.
All the Republicans on this Board should vote for Obama...you guys need to send a message to your party that you will not stand for turning your back on the long term policy of the Republicans...that is, being fiscally conservative.
Seriously, you should send letters to your party's Chairman...tell them you are voting for Obama and tell them they had better bring a true Goldwater fiscal conservative guy next time.
Republicans....your party has been hijacked....and I see nothing in McCain's rhetoric that indicates he will change Bush's policy of irresponsibility.
frankly, you owe it to both your kids and to your party....
fix your party

But what is the alternative? Do you think the DEMS are going to stop spending if Obama is elected?
The whole mindset of the majority of American people is give me free education, give me free health care, give me free retirement.....the list goes on.
The top 1% already pay 40% of the taxes. The top 10% pays 75% of income taxes.
This country has to stop spending, period.
