You agreed with taking Iraq away from Saddam and making it an ally to Iran?
You supported spending all that money and in the end its going to be Mook Tada El Sadr running Iraq?
You are a fool.
Key word you used about defense/military spending. "military spending that WAS NEEDED"?? He spent a lot more than was needed. So the the GOP is not the party for you, because they will spend enough to warrent keeping your taxes high. So you don't mind big government spending. I see. As long as it isn't spent on poor people. But if they spend it on bombs and fleece us thru defense, you don't mind. So stop begging for tax cuts, because your military spending doesn't justify a tax cut.
And Bush did cut social programs for poor people. But what you don't know is that even though he did, still:
When you strip away defense, homeland security and entitlements and adjust for inflation, leaving only discretionary domestic spending, George W. Bush has grown the federal government at a faster pace than even Lyndon Baines Johnson," Viguerie writes from conservativeshq.com.
When Bush's second term is over, there's every reason to expect that Bush will hold the record as the president who's grown the federal government at its fastest pace in modern times.
Trying to feed more words in moron? No... I supported taking out Saddam's regime in a time where there was much more security issues.. I support and supported his efforts in helping Iraq form a free constitution based government... Is it gonna be Jeffersonian? Nope... But it is a good start and a good thing...
I do not mind defense spending, as it is the central charge of the federal government.... do I think we "overspent"? Nope... proper military funding costs, and so do military operations...
Bush did not cut enough entitlements and did not cut more useless crap from the budget... This IS where I have disagreed with him over the entire 7+ years
And I am not asking for "tax cuts"... I am asking for equal percentage taxation.... and huge spending cuts in areas where the government has no business having a presence
