Originally posted by whodeyThe biggest increases in spending under Bush were for the military, homeland security and the two wars. How much of that spending do you oppose?
My point is that his policies were not fiscally conservative, or do you view spending like a drunken sailor being fiscally conservative?
Originally posted by whodeyIf you had done a little research into W's policies and actions as the governor of Texas you would have seen exactly what type of President he would be. Many of us knew just what he would be. You bought the commercials without doing any homework.
Are those who voted for him responsible? As I recall, "W" was touted as being a "conservative", however, nothing was further from the truth. You see, when you vote for Obama he could turn out to be the biggest conservative in the history of the nation and a pro-life president to boot. Then if you elect him, is it your fault that he did the opposite of why you elected him in the first place?
Watch this video of Keith Olbermann. I know, I know, he is one of the worst of the worst of the liberal media, but watch the video and see what Barack Obama was speaking about in 1991 -
This will give you much more insight into who Obama is. And if he turns out to be the exact opposite of what he has been speaking of for the last 17 years then we will be culpable.
You are responsible for W's actions. It was you and people like you that put him in office not once, but twice. Are you claiming that you didn't know what he was all about after the first 4 years?
Originally posted by CliffLandinWell its not that easy because on the other side of the isle you had fiscally liberal spending Democrats. If you ask me, conservatives have not had representation in government for quite some time and with good reason. Government is all about power and money and the populace is simply there to fleece. Where else are they going to get their money?

Originally posted by whodeyHowever, you knew this about Bush in '04 and you voted for him again. Don't you think it would have been wiser to have tried something new. As Bush said "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, and, er, um, you won't get fooled again."

You are always claiming that Democrats are fiscally irresponsible, however, when Clinton left office the nation had the largest surplus of cash ever. Is this what you mean by fiscal irresponsibility?

Edit: If the politicians don't take accountability then why should I? I much prefer the blame game.

This thread is just bang out of order!
What's going on?
I've heard people say McCarthy was good and right. I've heard people call Obama a socialist (please....) and now you're saying W isn't a conservative???
Are you all actually on the same planet as me?
