Fred Thompson, Ronald Reagan, and the Goldilocks Republicans
Ok, so here’s my choices.
Elect another fiscal Liberal republican like Bush, who has raised domestic spending more than any president, and who gets Congressional republicans to support him for party reasons.
Or Elect another Clinton. Who wanted to raise spending, but got blocked and filibustered by Congressional Republicans (mostly the same ones) who weren’t willing to help a Democrat raise spending.
So, if you’re a fiscal Conservative, if you think Government is too big, and if you’d like Republicans in Congress to be more responsible?
Don’t elect a liberal Republican.
I’m not sure exactly which names you’re going to call me next, rather than realize the fact that from a historical perspective, Clinton raised domestic spending less than Bush… not because he wanted to, but because he couldn’t.
And bringing up the 1980′s immigration reform is odd. Wasn’t I promised that the 1980′s era immigration reform would solve the problem and we’d never face the problem again if we passed it?
So why do we need to do the same failed policy again?
But I hear you. I don’t have to fall in love, I just have to support big spending, illegal immigration, economic idiocy, abuse of the Constitution and/or nanny state government.
And in return I’ll get… what? A pat on the head?
WOOHOO, count me in. I’ll turn over all my principles in a heartbeat for a pat on the head. Even if I get nothing else… Thanks.
Now I’m enthused and motivated. I’m going to get a politician who will give me nothing I want, but I’ll get a pat on the head.
hooray
