   When is the GOP going to stand up for our core values? They should be on TV, radio, etc. blasting the dims for these ridiculous handouts… especially when our economy is experiencing a slow down. If more people understood the differences in values between the left and right I’m certain we would have a huge majority.

   It’ll stop when we stop electing and re-electing politicians. We need citizen servants who will serve a couple of terms then go back into private segment business forever.

   Politician = bad ideas, usually.

   It’s always a bad idea to give politicians access to other people’s money.

    I mean, we can’t nominate Mr. Ben Dover as our candidate to lead us and then expect the party to get all serious about core values, can we?

    I don’t like the La Raza grant-a-thon any more than anyone else, but our newly crowned party leader is in bed with ‘em. My point is that we kinda got ourselves into this mess by electing a lefty-loosey as our candidate and that’s who’s going to set the agenda for the party.

    Why are they not out in front DEMANDING they remove those earmarks? I know its gotta be tough to pry Chuck Schumer away from the cameras, but come on. Press releases and closed-door meetings with weak-kneed GOPers ain’t cutting it. Provide some leadership, get out there and tell the American people what the Dems are doing and why it is wrong.

    It’s OK to oppose wasteful spending, but let’s look at the biggest items first. Iraq spending levels are about the same as these, if you replace Millions by Billions. How much is wasted on abstinence only sex education (which results in more teen pregnancy and STD than nothing at all)? How much is wasted on star wars (never worked and never will)?

    See http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10138.html - perhaps we are close to a Republican electoral disaster. Only then, IMHO, once the current leadership is swept clean (including our flip-flopping Straight-Talk Express and GWB) will we have a chance to get conservative views back in the party.

    If not, then I’ll keep voting 3rd party. I’ll no longer vote for the lesser of evils.

    The next 2-4 years will be painful. I see no way to avoid a President Obama with an even larger Dem majority in the House and Senate.

    I’m assuming you are referring to the current Missile Defense program- initally known as the Strategic Defense Initiative which Reagan called Star Wars.

    It’s actually working very well. But then again, I work on it- and you don’t.

    Other than some of that is just ridiculous, lets take a nice look at other failing programs.

    Welfare. The Black Hole of social programs. No waste there, right?

    Abstinence programs don’t work? how about this?

    Michael Resnick, M.D., et al., “Protecting Adolescents from Harm: Findings from the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health,” Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 278 (September 10, 1997). The effects of a virginity pledge in reducing sexual activity were statistically significant at the 99.9 percent confidence level.

    And I most certainly would rather teach my children abstinence that the government doing it for me, which would be them showing condom use, sexual material, and advocating them being “careful” in behavior rather than not doing it in the first place.

    An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

    you can find that sourced @ the following:
    http://www.heritage.org/Research/Abstinence/BG1533.cfm#pgfId=1009717

    Star Wars? Thats the best you can come up with? The money spent on that is a drop in the bucket, compared to other failed social programs. Time magazine has covered this a few times. Old news, not relavent, and certainly not supporting your discussion.

    I wonder if you really believe the stuff you put here, or if your democratic talking points are just recycled.

    I do have to admit, however, that using the facts against people who just spew old material out is alot of fun.

    Maybe you’re talking about boost phase, which is moderately successful. If there have been any tests showing the ability to distinguish a warhead from decoys, they are classified.

    Hitting a satellite in a fixed orbit without decoys doesn’t count.

    You know what else doesn’t count? The idea you might have a brain.

    Stick to the topic idiot. It is not star wars.
