Programmer, who the hell were the “Republicans you knew”? Reagan, like Bush, ran a big deficit in order to (justifiably) defeat a foreign enemy. Or are you talking about Newt Gingrich, perhaps? I will always remember Newt as the guy who pushed through the Lautenberg Amendment. Not my idea of a good Republican.

The fact is that, although Bush hasn’t been perfect on domestic issues, I now feel much less threatened in regard to my Second Amendment rights than I did during the Clinton years. Of course, a spreadsheet-obsessed accountant wannabe like yourself wouldn’t understand that.

A little clue, though–those Democrat girls you’re trying to impress by bad-mouthing Republicans? They don’t get turned on by green eyeshades, any more than any women do.
