Casey, you obviously don't understand liberals. They feel that they
shouldn't have to take responsibility for their actions, but rather be
protected and looked after by the government.


Fiscal responsibility? Excuse me while I laugh my ass off... such words are
a total riot coming from a so-called conservative.
Conservatives/Republicans/Bush are the very last people on this planet who
could talk about fiscal responsibility.

I mostly agree with you here, believe it or not. The current
administration hasn't done a good job at all of fiscal management. You
won't get any argument from me there. Do you really believe that all
conservative Republicans agree with everything the current
administration is doing?


Conservatives drove us into ever increasing federal debt, oil prices through
the roof, the weakest dollar ever, growth in federal spending. And you want
to talk about taking responsibility. Yeah, right...

Not conservatives in general, just the one's currently in power. I
agree that things could have been handled much better, however, I also
know that had the Clinton administration been able to continue four more
years with the recession that started on his watch and the 9/11 attacks,
we'd likely be in much the same situation. We likely wouldn't have
spent as much money on the war on terror as Clinton wouldn't have had
the stomach for that. The unknown downside is that this passive
approach likely would have encouraged more 9/11 like attacks and the
cost of them would have been horrendous.
