Can you have everything you want and never have to pay for it ?

You can if you're part of the new radical chic Republican Party. You can spend a half-trillion dollars a year on defense. You can give large tax breaks to the wealthiest people in America. You can even cut taxes for the working poor and the middle class. We don't need revenues coming in. Just put it on the card, OK bartender?

Not only that, we can even cut the amount of revenue now borrowed from Social Security, by giving 14% to the stock investors and advisors. And fouteen percent of $150 billion per year in not chicken feed. But, no mind, we'll just borrow to make up the difference. Shucks, we can even have another tax cut! What fool would think we would need revenues coming in to maintain a certain degree of security and comfort? Just pick out what you want, comrade.

and really shows me that Republicans just don't give a fuck about anyone, is when they dismiss health, education, and other social programs because "we need to curb spending and can't afford such programs".

You've just tickled the edge of the Democratic strategy to show that the Repubs are not the "morals and values" Party. That is what we have to pull out and define.

everything about them, even their brand of christianity shows they are not the party of morals and values.

Bush wants socialism for Iraq, and when he discusses his plans he describes it as a utopia.

Why do Iraqis get billions and billions of taxpayer dollars for good schools, great roads, free health care, etc when we don't even get that here?

That is one issue that really got my mom fired up (that, and she is a teacher, so she already hated him because of No Child...)

It's amazing the the Democrats have become the party calling for fiscal responsibility and an end to this massive defecit spending. This is unprecedented and Orwellian "flip-flop."

When will traditional conservatives see that Bush's profligate spending puts Ted Kennedy to shame?
