#60 — “If Republicans are the party of personal responsibility and smaller government then why are they the ones bailing out the banks?”
Republicans aren’t the party of smaller government across the board. That would be stupid. Some unthinking republicans think this is the way it ought to be. Most however realize that government is sometimes the only legitimate way to do a particular thing, such as defense. Republicans invest a great deal into that, and that usually pays off. You can see why in my comment #68.
Democrats spend. Republicans invest. Learn the difference between these two concepts.
Re auto bailouts it’s rather telling that the democrats are once again grandstanding and adding strings. The auto makers can’t get a bailout unless they promise to use the money for the global warming green boondoggle. You see, democrats are technology creationsists who seem to think they can mandate a technology into existence. Poof! It’s here! What a crock. You can’t mandate innovation. And democrats laugh at religious people. The irony amuses me to no end.
