That'd be fine if they cut spending comensurately, like REAL
conservatives,
but they do not. Bush has run up the biggest deficites in history -
bigger
than Roosevelt did to whup Hitler and Japan! The people running the
GOP are
not conservatives, they are NAZI -type socialists disguised as Jesus
freaks.


Ya think that in the 1940s, when "war bonds" were being sold in every
movie theater and post office in America, and there was strict rationing
of butter, meat, gasoline, and rubber, that maybe the federal deficit was
a bigger problem for Americans back then? Much bigger? What does your gut
tell you? Of course it was. You're an idiot or a liar if you don't realize
something that obvious. Raw numbers are what the Bush-haters use to trick
the gullible, but it's a completely dishonest way to measure the deficit.
