But the facts are not on the Republican Party's side. In constant dollars:
-Democratic Presidents Kennedy and Johnson contributed less to deficits than Republicans Nixon and Ford, both in total and on an average yearly basis.
-Democratic President Carter borrowed less than Republican Presidents Reagan and Old Bush, both in total and on an average yearly basis.
-It was Democratic President Bill Clinton who brought us out of deficit territory back to surpluses.
-It is Republican George W. Bush who is surging back to record deficits.

Repuglicans often confuse our compassion for being fiscally irresponsible. Bill Clinton brought our country into great prosperity both economically, poltically (especially foriegn policy), and even spiritually on several levels. Bush is an ape who starts unjust wars and clears brush on his manure ranch in Texeas. Bring em on!

"the main Fiscally Irresponsible government in U.S. historical past" is a continually precise term considering that investment for the DOD will boost previous inflation with each and every administration lol

Repubs say all kind of things to get votes then don't do any of them, Control spending not, outlaw abortion not, outlaw gay marriage not, catch Osama not, win the war on terror not. etc...
Yet there people still support them what does that say about there intelligence. There is an old saying (which bush screwed up) you can fool all of the people some of the time and you can fool some of the people all of the time (this is where republicans fall), but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Its their way. When things go bad blame the other guy. You know its Clinton's fault that the military is depleted now. Even though Bush has been President for just about 6 years now. Go figure.

People like Bush who have an abundance of funds think that "regular" working americans should pay for all the funding for bills and such, meanwhile the rich get all of the tax breaks

Because the Republicans don't want to admit that they themselves abandonded fiscal conservatism most of a decade ago.

Because they think people are stupid and can't think for themselves and see what is really happening. It's called RNC spin.
