Under Bush, the era of small government is over.

WANT TO CURB federal spending? Replace President Bush with a Democrat. This is not entirely a joke. With Republicans in control of the White House and Congress since 2000--except for an interlude in 2001-2002 when Democrats held the Senate--spending has risen at roughly three times the rate of the 1990s when Democrat Bill Clinton was president. Back then, congressional Republicans stymied Democratic spending. Now, Republicans go along with Bush's spending initiatives, while he accedes to theirs. That's the way a governing majority operates.

I don't think Bush realizes just how many of us are angry and voting Third Party. It's JOBS, borders, spending, expanding government, etc. Wake up, GW before it's too late.

It's getting pretty late. I started becoming frustrated with Bush when he agreed with Kennedy on the federal education bill.

I am actually considering voting for Dean, assuming he becomes the Rat nominee. There is something to be said for gridlock.

1. Always remind the freepers

the choice is between tax and spend democrats and borrow and spend republicans. Some of them are smart enough to realize the bills will have to be paid eventually and its better to pay as you go along. Its also a question of what the money is spent on.

2. Wow, would it be unethical to encourage gridlock?

For Dems to post to Free Republic and like-minded sites to vote Dean for prez to balance the budget, and straight Republican in both houses to ensure to their satisfaction that gridlock occurs?

We can take back congress later, or, perhaps if they become sufficiently morose, they wont bother to vote at all?

Is it smart to encourage Republicans to vote at all? LOL

4. Maybe but many just blame it on the messager.

I read on Free Rep. and it is often interesting as they attack before they get to the major subject. Things, the English someone used, or what they look like etc. I understand this as I was marriage for years and it is how we talked over every thing, by never getting to the subject or what was wrong. These people I read seem to be very happy to just blow up anyone or thing that does not believe as they do. Hard to fix a problem that way. We will never kill all the terrorist either, It is the problem you must fix.Face it, as Christians, these people should know their History well enough to know that the christians took over a powerful empire with their minds and not swords.We can go through history and see this always wins out.

5. They don't want to discuss issues there, they want to assign blame

with no debate. The point is, under this administration, the budget is expanding (in the wrong programs), and the Republican majority cannot blame anyone but themselves for the budget mess.

Let them gorge until they die.
