You Republicans like to pass out the cake and ice cream but will whine when it comes to taking the medicine. It was you Republicans (2001-2007) who spent more than the previous set of Democrats . They increased pork barrel spending from 3,000 to 14,000 projects a year, billed to the national credit card. You Republicans have engaged in a eight year social engineering project in the Middle East that costs $120 billion a year and may well last another 100 years, billed to the national credit card. You Republicans have added another layer of entitlement spending that costs $50 billion a year called Medicare Prescription, billed to the national credit card.

Should we Americans be on-board with all the Republican spending programs like; 1. ethanol mandates 2. paying for missile defense for the EU 3. the 100 year social engineering project in Iraq 4. making Afghanistan a modern democratic state 5. increasing entitlement spending by passing Medicare Prescription 6. Expanding NATO to include Ukraine and the Republic of Georgia Once again, Republicans believe in HUGE government, they just can't be bothered to pay for it. Let's not forget that government expansion was two and a half times bigger under George W. Bush than under 'Bubba' Clinton.

Republicans pretend to be for 'small' government, but are for HUGE government. Republicans pretend to be for 'free' markets, but are really for rigged markets. Republicans say they are for 'taking responsibility', but their method of accepting responsibility is to always blame the most convenient Democrat for all the messes they created. Republicans always vigorously wave the American flag but, in fact, their actions put our beloved country last. Cherish the tax cut! Did the Greatest generation have tax cuts and Tea Parties during WWII when we were facing real Fascists? Let's face it, when a Republicans tells you that he or she is in favor of 'small government and free markets,' aren't both of these lies?

Let's look at the Republican Party during the eight year George W Bush 'Reign of Error.' The Republican Party led a powerful political machine built on a dazzling use of patronage and a belief that government was a weapon to be wielded in the interest of the moneyed class and on behalf of corporate interests. At the end of the day, the Republican Party was very successful at redistributing wealth to its constituents. Analyze this George W Bush statement in Se[tember of 2008. "We need $700 billion to recapitalize the American financial system." What does it really mean?

A card-carrying Republican states; "They (the Dems) subscribe to Lenin's "big lie" theory, which says that if you tell a lie often enough, people begin to believe it." I replied, "You mean, like, the Republican party stands for small government and free markets?" Who here thinks the card-carrying Republican fessed up?
Republicans say "While you gratuitously lay the Medicare Prescription Plan off on Bush, please note that it passed with Democrat votes." Let me be crystal clear with all my conservative friends out there. Obamacare passed with Republican votes!

Here's what card-carrying Republicans, sycophants of the Republican party, dupes of the Republican party and people who get their information from a variety of Republican party propaganda mouthpieces do NOT know. Had we upped the Medicare payroll tax rate to pay for the Republican party's Medicare Prescription, which was passed in 2003; it would have never happened. And, yes, Republican socialist entitlement health care is not free.

I asked a Republican this question. "Any clue why 'No Child Left Behind' was passed when George W. Bush(R) was president, Denny Hastert(R) was Speaker of the House and Trent Lott(R) was Senate Majority Leader?" He told me, "Ted Kennedy wrote the bill!" Now let me ask everyone out there; just how many bills did Republicans write, When Obama, Pelosi and Reid held the levers of power in DC?" When they blame a Democrat, again, is this taking responsibility?
