Republican have been saying that "Democrats like Big government." It's so true! The Democrats also know that these programs cost money. They need to be funded. Life is not all about eating 'cake and ice cream' (entitlements) and not having to take your medicine (taxes). Life is about both. Republicans are clueless or maybe, perhaps, they want to destroy our country by "starving the beast." Republicans are poor stewards of the government and the economy. For them it's all about handing out the spending programs (cake) and then getting excited about an assortment of tax cuts. (no medicine for you!)

Yes, many here can artfully criticize our foreign born Islamic leader. Well done! And George Bush...during his eight years? Wasn't the Speaker of the House, where tax and spend Constitutional power is given, a Republican from January, 1995 through January of 2007? The war in Iraq has cost upwards of $120 billion a year for the past eight years, but Republicans are always droning on about their tax precious cuts, they were unwilling to cut spending on anything.

Part of that Republican spending program forbids the government from negotiating drug prices to get the best deal for the taxpayer. The Republican mantra is "what ever the taxpayer will bear", instead of the more free-market lyric of "whatever the free-market will bear." Another part of the deal was to make it a felony for an American to go to Canada and purchase their drugs at a cheaper cost. Talk about a Nanny-state. It's a Republican Nanny-state where those protected are Big-Pharma companies.

As we all know, seven of the eight of George W. Bush's budgets excluded the costs for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This was very important to the Republican Party due to the fact that they relished their most cherished and precious Bush tax cut. Also included in our Islamic president's 2010 budget was to pay for the wars in the annual budget, an idea very anathema to all card-carrying Republicans. I mean, if you 'cost' a war 'off' budget, then good Republicans can consider it to be free in monetary terms and fiscal costs. Bravo! And if a card-carrying member of the Republican Party moved casualties 'off' the casualty list then a war could be considered 'bloodless?'
DEFUND THE REPUBLICAN SOCIALIST MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION FIRST! Can't we all finally recognize that the Republican Party added another whole layer of liberal entitlement spending in 2003? Yes, the Republican Party added Medicare Prescription, Part D, that costs $500 billion over its first 10 year period and is the fastest growing part of our socialized health care system. That entire cost has been dumped onto the national credit card by the Republican Party. Republicans believe in BIG goobmint, they just can't be bothered to pay for it.

Republicans talk of the Islamo-Fascists as being the most vile, evil, throat cutting, blood gashing enemies of all time. And they are eager for war, only so long as they get their precious tax cut and pant for ever more of them. Cowards! You can read about Republican tax initiatives here: http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/1986/winter/civil-war-tax-records.html On July 4, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln called the U.S. Congress to a special session. In his remarks, Lincoln warned against a secessionist movement determined to undo the Union. Congress reacted quickly. They enacted the first income tax ever levied by the U.S. government.
