LOL!... Bush and the "conservative" movement
5/9/2005, posted by "true" conservatives:
The Republican promise of smaller, less-intrusive government is getting harder and harder to believe. Especially when a more plausible plot line is unfolding every day: that the GOP has put aside the ideals of Reagan and Goldwater in order to pursue a political strategy based on big spending.
When people break promises, they are known as liars. Why mince words?
Under Clinton, the Republican Congress ratcheted down the president's spending proposals year after year, according to the Cato report. But, under a united Republican government, Congress has ratcheted up Bush's spending proposals (larding them with pork) by about $91 billion from 2002-2005.
It's not always easy to see how radically Bush has transformed the GOP — from Reagan's admonition that "government is the problem" to Dubya's own assertion that "when somebody hurts, government has got to move." But it's a real transformation — and an expensive one.
Average Americans will eventually feel it in the taxes that will have to be raised to fund Bush's massive federal expansion.
Republicans who have stuck by the party's leadership mainly because of the War on Terror will begin to feel it in 2006 and 2008, when they realize that Big Government Conservatism is not a strategy or a philosophy — but a sellout.
No Screaming Eagle shit. The word is getting out- our conservative party ain't very conservative, unless it comes to the homos and abstinence training- then they're just nuts.
