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.
Before 2004, many of us were still licking our wounds from 9-11...both emotional and financial wounds....and if you recall, for a good part of that time, Bush enjouyed a very high approval rating as most of us on both sides of the coin were a bit freaked and craved leadership.
Then, in 2003 to 2004, we all started to come out of it and THAT is why the increase in criticism of Bush's spending problem at that point. In 2004, NOO ONE was thinking about the 2008 elections.
Get with reality and stop finding possible "partisan" reasons for actions of conservative voters and citizens.
But putting that aside...I am curious....
EXACTLY WHERE IS THAT SCALPEL OBAMA TALKED ABOUT? If you recall....."I will read each bill line by line and cut out the pork and earmarks with a scalpel.
Really? And you are OK with this? Or still looking back at the Bush years cause you dont know what to say about this current farce of a presidency.
