Is "increasing the size of government" a bad thing? If so, then why do
you support President George W. Bush, who has increased the size 7
expense of gov't considerably? You speculate that Kerry might do
something that Bush has already done, and condemn Kerry... hypocrisy,
nyet?

Oh yeah.

... Yes,
W has set a new precedent in spending, especially for a republican.

Since I'm not the recipient of a golden parachute from Halliburton, nor
hypnotized by the constant spew of KKK-esque rhetoric, I'd call it
"overspending."

... I'm
hardly pleased with that. Even the conservative side of the congressional
aisle is disturbed by his spending habits.

Mostly because it's cutting very heavily into their pork and raising a
very bad economic future.




Beyond the Dept. of Homeland Security W hasn't expanded government as much
as some presidents have in the past.

That may be, but most of the "new jobs" President Bush is touting in
this wonderful boom economy he has presided over, are gov't jobs.



Hypocrisy? It might be, only if one is unable to differentiate between
expanding government and overspending.

Or unwilling to look at naked facts without blushing and trying to cover
them up.
