Answer 1

The Cons are not fiscal Conservatives.

They are a bunch of spend-a-holics, that I wouldn't trust with a credit card. They love spending other people's money, and have no problem passing their debts on to future generations.

At least with Clinton, we had budget surpluses!

Answer 2

OK where did you get your figure from? post the source so we can read it also.


The bottom line couldn’t be more obvious. Exports should be encouraged, but the most promising way to expand domestic output and thus raise living standards is by stemming the import tide of recent years. Both common sense and the numbers support this conclusion. Does anything except stubborn ideology, lack of political willpower, or the simple greed of outsourcing interests stand in the way?

wait hold on every Dem and lib in here keep saying that Bill Clinton had it balanced zero nada zip. Now read this in the source section right off of your on sites.

Is this how Clinton and Dem's likes to bend the truth, (big budget surpluses ) national debt was at $5.6 trillion. I don't call 5.6 T as good or balanced or any other thing you want to call it other than an out right lie.

Answer 3

The only thing conservative about conservatives is their thinking towards other groups of people they see as a threat to their way of life. They're much more like fundamentalist christians then fiscal conservatives. I think they would be quite happy having the KKK in the oval office to protect their way of life, their view of America.

Well, now if I were the president of this land
You know, I'd declare total war on The Homo man
I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd run
Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun

Answer 4

Nothing. Debt and spend is worse than tax and spend. Our children and grand children will have to pick up the tab.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.42 billion per day since September 29, 2006!

Answer 5

Bush is so caught up in his own stupiness he cares nothing for throwing away taxpayer money to build things in Iraq that then get blown up by muslims and then build them them again. He still has another year and with real effort he can probably jack the total up to over 11 trillion by the time he is finally forced out of the White House.

It's so pathetic what a jerk this president is.

Who the hell cares about 'exporting democracy'? No need to spend billions a day to do that, it's positively dumb. And this obsession with 'free trade agreements' that are designed to bring the US down to the level of a Third World country is a Bush obsession that will bankrupt millions of US citizens.

The sooner this guy is gone the better.

Answer 6

Bush is a social conservative, not a fiscal one.

Answer 7

Because Conservatives are big spenders just like Liberals. This will be the demise of the modern Republican party.

Answer 8

Neo-cons are no conservatives. they are Zionist traitors who only have allegiance to their own

Answer 9

The fact that most of the debt was incurred to finance tax cuts for the rich, corporate welfare, and war profiteers.

Answer 10

We are not conservative anymore, we are Bush neoconservatives!
