mybenito Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Did the government increase it's size and spending during the Bush admininstration? The RNC keeps saying that is what the dems do. Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Did the government increase it's size and spending during the Bush admininstration? The RNC keeps saying that is what the dems do. "In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy." - George Orwell - 1984 Link to post Share on other sites
Tweedling Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Speaking of, how has social security been doing these days? Is it working? Anyone received one of those updates from the IRS regarding your "benefits" when you reach that magical age? Impressed? What party started that pie in the sky? I know, I know it wasn't the Bush admin. Just askin'. Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I thought Romney and Huckabee gave decent speeches, but Guiliani is coming off as nothing but a superficial, mean bastard--and the crowd keeps egging him on, as if being a mean bastard is the epitome of Republicanism.

Party @ the Moontower Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 It was a trip listening to Bush trumpet his only success in office. The troop surge was a "huge" success. Never mind the billions of tax payer dollars being spent to pay off the tribal leaders to keep the violence down. These tribal leaders probably won't go out and get armed to the teeth though. I feel sorry for whoever takes office after this joke. Bush sounded desperate to have his name on a building other than some sewage plant in California last evening. Hmmm..I'm thinking about the best building to shine his name on. Perhaps the home to the makers of this fine product from China.... Link to post Share on other sites

jenbobblehead Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 My Dad has an "Obama for President" sign in his front yard.We were going to get one of those. Until the Palin. Now Grandfather thinks the sun rises and sets (or stays risen) on the bimbo. I am going to program out Fox News from his cable tv. Tell him that it must be down for maintenance and he should watch MSNBC instead. Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 My father is going to pull the lever for McCain, but only while holding his nose--McCain is way, way too "liberal" for my dad. Stacy and I are, quite literally, the only progressives in the entire family. It's not unusual, at family gatherings, to hear my family go on about how Obama is a "Manchurian candidate" and all that other nonsense. It's a gas. Link to post Share on other sites
