I am so GD tired of reading about how the "Conservatives" are wasting
money, I could just throw up.

Honestly...how much is it costing these dorks to spy on QUAKERS for God's sake?

How many billions are we going to spend in Iraq?

What the HELL are these clowns thinking about, and why do average Americans think they are "conservatives?" Their new government is huge, and massive spenders.

Jesus Christ, I am sick of these jerkoffs.

2. Debate yesterday with a repuke: He said the US is spending its
way out of the deficit.
I just stood there and stared at him, couldn't even believe he said something so stupid.

4. Me, too.

They've taken social programs, dismantled them, and funneled the money to private corps, under the guise of this stupid war.

GE builds bombs to destroy Iraq. Haliburton gets the contracts to build back Iraq. And the money that used to put food on the table of an impoverished family now goes to buy Cuban cigars for some bigwig CEO.

It's fucking disgusting.

(Edit: I need sleep!)

6. And, incidentally,
I have not been to meeting in years, and yet, the DoD hits my firewall several times/daily.

I guess my DU user name is pretty scary:scared:

7. yep
gotta watch those Quakers, you know. They believe in PEACE, for heaven's sake, and social justice and stuff like that! Very dangerous when Light is shone upon the forces of darkness...for the forces of darkness.

10. Peace huh?
Next they'll be throwing truth and justice for all at us. I'm glad the government is jumping on this obviously subversive group before their positions really took hold.
BTW: I bet they are purveyors of the evil, pagan, anti-Christian, God-hating slogan "Happy Holidays"

8. Its all relative
they spend more than anyone in history, but still proudly call themselves Conservative.

Why?

Because, as they like to say, "The Liberals would be worse".


These "conservatives" also don't have a problem with keeping the tax burden on the working class. But that's ok...

Why?

Because, as they like to say, "The Liberals would be worse".



But, until they change their actions and start acting like "traditional conservatives", or until these so-called "traditional conservatives" start rejecting the GOP and its wastefulness, I contend that there is no such thing as a "traditional conservative".

I don't care what they say they stand for. Its all BS. Actions speak louder than words, and these people aren't acting in any way that could be called conservative.

Except, of course, for their radically regressive social views and their war on the middle and lower class, as they march proudly towards theocracy.

existed since Teddy R was a repiglican. The gop in my life time has always been huge government and miles of red tape. They have been the party to enrich the rich at the expense of the working man. What your seeing is the piglicans at there very best, dismantle social programs, get rid of unions, destroy the Constitution, after all like Jr. said to them its only a god damned piece of paper. How soon we forgot the greed and hypocrisy of the Nixon years and the Ford years.
