Out of control spending and the right.

[uscitizen]

Republicans are very opposed to this out of THEIR control spending.
They had few complaints when it was in their control though.

 

[DiamondDave]

How about stating that conservatives are against out of control spending above revenues, and out of control spending that is not charged to the government in the actual words of our constitution...

And conservatives did in fact have a lot of complaints on Bush's spending habits... though you choose to ignore that fact because it does not fit with your pre-made argument

By consrvatives, you are not referring to the Republicans who controlled Congress for 6 of Bush's 8 years, are you?

Many in the REP party do not hold to conservative standards and values... the true conservative message has been pushed aside by many of the REPs.. and they need to be voted out just as the left-wing liberals need to be voted out... congress under Bush was not and did not stay on the conservative path

Dunno.. don't really watch Fox... my network center has CNN and Weather channel on the big screens.. and I watch local news in the morning before work.. and sleep on the MARC train during my commute

After 2004 some slight critisism of Bush was allowed because he could not run again. This accelerated in 2006 as Republicans tried to distance themselves from Bush so it would not hurt their re-election efforts and they could claim to be mavericky.

 

[Truthmatters]

The "True conservative" Is a joke.

There is no such thing only cons who pretend they care about being "fiscal" to get elected.

If you truely cared about being fiscal you would vote for the people who are best at it historically , YOU WOULD VOTE DEM

There were a few lone voices with an 'R' at the end of their name who were opposed to out-of-control spending when they had a majority in Congress, but not too many. That's why most Republicans shouldn't be taken seriously and the GOP is in serious need of restructuring (or death). We already know that most Democrats in office today will push through wasteful and destructive Keynesian policies, but we can't count on the GOP to stop them.

It has been proven to work by history

Good post. Yes there were a few, very few who protestred at anything that Bush did during his first 4 years.

I was tempted to vote for McCain in 2000. However I am sure glad I did not after he showed his suckassedness.

The problem with republicans and out of control spending is that it is out of THEIR control. Not that they are really opposed to the spending, just what it is spent on.

Empirical evidence for 30 years proves this to be true.

And the problem with DEMs and libs is that you wish to control spending, add to it for your pet programs, and want to ensure that you get it paid for by those 'evil rich'... for equality only means something when it suits your agenda... empirical evidence over more than just 30 years shows this to be true

There are indeed certain things the federal government is charged to do.. and hence must spend to accomplish that.. so no.. not all spending is bad.... but individual and corporate entitlements are indeed bad.. government programs to be in every aspect of lives is bad... and spending above revenues outside of some extreme emergency situation is wrong

True the dems want to control spending on their projects as well.
They are just not as hypocritical about it as those on the right.
Dems know they like to spend

Go get it DD.

This thread is propaganda, and why Bush had a two percent approval rating leaving office. Obama is President because the entire nation abandoned ship on Republicans because of their spending. Bush primed our nation for the real big government Democrats, and why spending has gone to the moon. Republicans and independents were honest Bush sucked, it appears Democrats were not serious about Bush failures. How else can you explain the media and Democrat voter base still standing by Obama today? Hell, many Democrats are slave to Obama, government workers, so that explains a bunch of them. The rest will mimic the minority who backed Bush when Obama gets done destroying our nation. I can't wait for more bright ideas from Congress. How's the stimulus going? How's the TARP doing? How's the healthcare reform ripoff going? Could we get any more corrupt? We are up to almost 15000 earmarks this year alone.

God Bless the Tea Partiers, and keep it going.

 

[uscitizen]

Among republicans Bush still had a 30+ % approval rating as he went out the door.
His overall rating is irrelevant for this thread. I am talking partisanship and it's influence on attitudes.

And BTW TARP was Bush's baby.

 

[Titanic Sailor]

Really, Obama never approved of TARP, and Democrats didn't write the bill? Perhaps I was in a different nation or planet.

What has changed? ZERO, except the Bush failures have been exceeded or maintained by Obama. What has changed?

Honesty is the the way to the truth, get busy Democrat voters. Fess up. Obama sucks ass worse than Bush already, a yes man for the corrupt Congress.
