Just as an aside, they didn’t slip in the DREAM act, did they? That would be just like these imbeciles…

Big difference between old style conservatives who believed in fiscal responsibility and borrow-and-spend conservatives.

hell yes. Barry Goldwater, hell, even Ronald Reagan, wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance these days with the way the neocons who’ve hijacked the party are acting.

I think it is well past time to consider completely restructuring the government altogether in such a manner as was provided for in that long forgotten document called the Constitution.

Restore Impoundment.

Oh how I wish this were possible, but Congress would never give the president that authority.

“GOP Rep. Mike Pence blasts the legislation”

Yeah, what he said.

_______________________________________

Note for Democrats:
You have chosen to, once again, screw the troops and you do it and think no one is watching. I tell you what, you have barked up the wrong tree. You have chosen to take a stand but are on the wrong side of the aisle.

I posted this before and I will post it again:

“We would never,” Pelosi told Wolf Blitzer on ‘The Situation Room,’ when asked if House Democrats would consider cutting funding for the Iraq war. “Our troops are in harm’s way. They have been sent there, whether you agree you agree with the resolution to go to war. We would not withhold our funding for the troops there.”

“We’re not going to cut off funding for the troops,” the 72-year-old Michigan Democrat said on ABC’s “This Week” program. “But what we should do, and we’re going to do, is continue to press this president to put some pressure on the Iraqi leaders to reach a political settlement.”

WTF??? Playing lefty politics while our troops are in the field, fighting a good fight and winning. You try to handcuff them and place them in further danger in order to appease the nutroots of your consituency. Well, colossial mistake. Big! Biggest!!

Please take a few minutes to contact your legislators and tell me under no uncertain terms do they withhold funding for our troops any longer than they already have. How dare they go on Christmas break and leave our troops in the field without the money they need to carry out this war? How dare they?

Let them know how you feel – here:
Fund the troops.

I have to agree with wrenossen entitlement programs are considered must pays and eat up most of the Federal budget and it will only get worse as the “Baby Boomers” start to dip into what is left of the Social Security System. Can’t thank the Democrats enough for adding it to the General Fund so they could pillage it for their social programs for the last couple of decades. Discretionary budgets have been shrinking to pay entitlements I am a Budget Analyst for the Air Force and every year our discretionary budget gets smaller and smaller. I haven’t seen it this bad since I was a young Airman living under the Carter Administration’s Military spending cuts (makes me shudder to think about those days again).

I also heard the $3 billion for the border fence have been stripped in the Senate and am hot under the collar about that too. Don’t even get me started about failing to fund the troops in Iraq, I have people in my Squadron serving over there and would love to kick each Senator’s and Congressman’s butt responsible for shorting them. It will be interesting to see how much pork these crapweasels have stuffed into this spending bill. Between this and failing to relieve us of the AMT burden coming to bite many of us in the butt in April I didn’t think Congress could do much more to lower their approval rating, I was wrong.

I think Bush should VETO this bill, Shut Down the Government, and give a national address to list all the Pork and wasteful spending. Congress needs to be called to task for their incompetence.

TLF: Wither The Border Fence…

It’s bad enough that the Feds are dragging their heals in an apparent move to mimic the NY Giants offense on building the border fence. Now……
Congress last night passed a giant new spending bill that undermines current plans for a U.S…

What people forget is that this is about one quarter of the budget – just the discretionary spending. Social Security, medicare, etc. are the big part. Compared to getting those in line, the earmarks are insulting chump change.

The compassionate conservative neocons have hijacked the party.

If you want more of the same, support Mitt McGulabee in the primaries.
