Engage most of the loudest whiners and detractors into ANY sort of intelligent discussion on the issues, and before you know it, they're citing blogs by unknown idiots as "sources," just plain making shit up, and demonstrating a clear lack of socioeconomic and global-political perspective.

The dreaded theory of "tax and spend liberals" is more than anything a reflection on the "spend away the future conservatives", who more often than not spend their time in power running up debt, paying for unpopular wars, and giving massive tax breaks to their rich conservative friends. Then the liberals get into power, and they have little choice left but to pay the bills left behind by the conservatives. (please see details of american debt levels 1980-2006, and match up years to Presidents). Bush Sr lost his Presidency because he was unable to continue to financial suicide pact of Reagan's voodoo economics for 12 years... the bill came due during his term and he got screwed over... the same screwing over that the conservatives have tried to hand the liberals every 8 years.

Watching Boy Bush on TV this morning, he looks like a beaten puppy. 2 years of the lamest of lame ducks, coming up!
