Using false allegations of racism, in order to shut people up and make them look the other way. This is right out of the handbook of racial politics.

EMH, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I have the antisemite on ignore, but I’m guessing from others’ responses that he found a way to blame Da Joos.

Don't agree. Reagan was handcuffed by the Crook/Klansman Congress, JimWright and Robert KKKing of Pork Byrd. HW was too. Congress can cut spending. Gingrich did. It has to have will and a speaker that will fight for cuts. Newt was the last one. Every GOP House Speaker since has done nothing to cut spending. An audit of Mike Johnson's wealth and the origin of it would put him in prison really fast....


The 1980s- mid 1990s GOP was fiscally conservative. Warren Rudman, Phil Graham, Gingrich, even most of the religious ones at the time like Jesse Helms were fiscally conservative.

The 911 crowd, the "fox News Republicans" W Huck Hastert McConnell are all 180 degrees the other way. The more pro Israel the "Republican" the more it supports big spending big government.


Huck, for example, wasn't just the biggest spending GOP Gov, he was only behind 4 Dems and the only GOPer in the top 10...

if you liked George W. Bush’s brand of big-spending, big-government conservatism, you’ll love Mike Huckabee.
Most of the leading Republicans running for president show some support for Bush’s ideology, but no other candidate so completely embodies it.

As governor of Arkansas, Huckabee dramatically increased state spending. During his two-term tenure, spending increased by more than 65 percent — at three times the rate of inflation.

The number of government workers increased by 20 percent, and the state’s debt services increased by nearly $1 billion. Huckabee financed his spending binge with higher taxes. Under his leadership, the average Arkansan’s tax burden increased 47 percent, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, including increases in the state’s gas, sales, income, and cigarette taxes. He raised taxes on everything from groceries to nursing home beds.


Huckabee answers these complaints by pointing out that he “cut taxes 94 times” while governor. True. But most of those tax cuts were tiny, like exempting residential lawn care from the sales tax. Some cuts reduced overall state revenues by as little as $15,000. On net, Huckabee increased state taxes by more than $500 million. In fact, Huckabee increased taxes in the state by more than Bill Clinton did.

On its annual governor’s report card, Cato gave Huckabee an “F” for fiscal policy during his final term, and an overall two-term grade of “D.” Only four governors had worse scores, and 15 Democratic governors got higher grades, including well-known liberals like Ted Kulongoski of Oregon, Rod Blagojevich of Illinois, and Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania.


But Huckabee doesn’t just embrace big government in the form of big taxes. He truly appears to believe that if something is a good idea it should be a federal government program.

For example, having become health conscious while losing more than 120 pounds (a remarkable feat), he now calls for a national smoking ban. Because he believes that “art and music are as important as math and science” in public schools, he wants these programs funded — and thus, directed and administered — federally.

Huckabee is, incidentally, the only Republican candidate for president who opposes school choice.

Hey, when you're in charge, for eight years..."Them other guys", Bullshit only goes so far.

-The national debt nearly tripled from $907 billion in 1980 to $2.6 trillion in 1988
-Federal deficits averaged 4.0% of GDP during his presidency, up from 2.2% in the preceding eight years.
-Federal outlays grew from $678B to $1.14T, an increase of 69%, while federal receipts rose from $599 billion to $991 billion, a 65% increase.
-Federal workforce increased by about 324,000 employees, reaching nearly 5.3 million...MILLION
-Entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid saw spending increase by 84% between 1980 and 1987

Congress controls SPENDING.


When an actual patriotic American fiscal conservative was House Speaker from 94-98, what happened?

You know what happens when you're the head coach, and your offensive coordinator, against your wishes, sends in 'Red Rider trips option left' on 3rd and 13 from your twenty? A play never practiced and just drawn up by him two days ago?
Your quarterback fumbles the football, the defense picks up that fumble, and runs it back for a game-winning touchdown.

You get blamed. Why do YOU get blamed EMH? Why?

Because you're in charge. You don't just get to claim all the good shit. You get to claim ALL the shit.

Guess what, there were Democrats and liberals and people fiscally nonconservative during the good shit too.

You see, that's why you "Left! Right! Conservative! Progressive!! people are the biggest fuckin dupes on the planet.

'Your side' is literally greasing it up, getting it hard in front of you, while telling you how bad the other side is gonna **** you.

This is the ******* height of absurdity.

When was Speaker Newt the Speaker? And notice just how truly fiscally conservative HW was, wow, with a Dem House and Senate. From HW to the end of Newt, the GOP kept Fed spending down. Then Fox News and W and the IQ<5 Pro Israel anti conservative Christians came in, and Pandora's box re-opened, and the US may never recover from it...

I see an upwardly trending line. I see some plateaus, perhaps even a slight dip at some point.
I see the government doing what the government does, growing itself, its influence, and its power.

I don't do R and D. It's a game for suckers.

It has been since Newt was couped in 1998. It actually did matter before Fox News and W.
