I've Never Understood Why Republicans Call Themselves Conservative

[ClosedCaption]

A Liberal making comments about fiscal responsibility is like a whore giving a lecture on abstinence.

Repubs calling themselves Conservative is like Strippers calling themselves "College Students". Everyone knows its a lie

 

[gipper]

Reagan didn't get the reduction he wanted from the dems, so blaming him for all the spending is retarded. Ignoring the deficit is just as retarded. The libs don't like military spending, we get it. Dems let it falter, Repubs build it back up. But it pales in social spending so the OP is dishonest.

Republicans have a bad spending record. Being fiscally responsible is something they just talk about.

True, but not unlike Ds. Big Ears said W's spending was unpatriotic and then he spent even more.

Akin to LBJ claiming Goldwater would get us into a big war...then he sent 50k American boys to die in the swamps of Vietnam...

Akin to FDR condemning Hoover for his economic interventions, then he intervened much more.

Nothing changes with lying pols, but most Americans are easily fooled.

Yes but given how they talk I expect more from republicans.

Why? That is most naive. One must NEVER expect or believe ANYTHING a pol talks about. No matter which party they come from.

History clearly tells us they are prolific liars.

Yes they are, but people vote for repubs based on then claiming to be fiscally responsible. I don't think that is why people vote democratic.

D voters vote for bigger more controlling government and they get it from their pols. R voters haven't figured out that R pols are very much like D pols. D voters haven't figured this out either. It is all a big scam.

Most strippers go to medical school and stripping helps them pay for tuition.

They debt was $10.6 trillion the day Obama took office. It's now $18.1 trillion.
Looks like Obama increased the debt by a larger amount than any previous president.

Bush spending commitments do not end the day he leaves office. The debt at the end of Bush's last fiscal year was nearly 12 trillion and the 2 trillion in interest on that debt can hardly be blamed on Obama, if you were honest.

The debt at the end of Bush's last fiscal year was nearly 12 trillion

Why do you feel that?

Bullshit.

Obama added to it. Stimulus, half of TARP....

That's an extra $1.3 trillion.

Bullshit!

Very little stimulus spending took place during Bush's last fiscal year, estimates range from 140 billion to 203 billion, not even close to your phony 1.3 trillion.

Not to mention the $700 billion he stole from Medicare later.......so spare me. Obama spent money that never ended on the books. He ran up the debt so he could set a high baseline for future budgets.

He ran up the debt because GEORGE SOROS told him to, to ruin America's economy.

It's a FACT, not a "feeling."

What was the last budget Bush signed?

Bush signed a massive spending bill Sept 30, 2008, a bank bailout Oct 3, 2008 and the largest cost of living increase for Social Security since 1982 in Oct 2008.

So he didn't sign the entire 2009 FY budget and he shouldn't be blamed for TARP spending that was repaid or Obama's portion of the 2009 budget. So actually we're down to about $10.4 trillion when he left office.

He spent it. The fact that it was repaid later has more to do with who was running congrss, not what Obama intended. Every one of his budgets was much higher than what their CR'S ended up being. And let's not forget the massive tax-increase he got to bring down the deficit. That is the only reason we still don't have huge deficits.

Republicans being almost as fiscally irresponsible as the Democrats is one of the main reasons I am not a Republican anymore.

If you has any sense of fiscally responsible for our country you would dump the filthy ass Democrats like I dumped the Republicans.

Trying to pretend that somehow the Democrats believe in responsibility is absolutely as incredulous as it gets.

 

[mudwhistle]

Democrats bitching about overspending is like fags complaining about anal-sex. It doesn't really fly....

Real Conservatives strongly believe in fiscal responsibility and would not go in debt or support excessive taxation. They would be frugal in their government spending and only fund the minimal necessary government programs like defense, police, courts etc. There would be no government transfers of money from somebody that earned it and giving it to somebody that didn't earn it.

Republicans that are really RINOs that go into debt or raise taxes with the fiscally irresponsible Democrats to fund unnecessary government programs are not Conservatives. They may tell you they are Conservatives in the primaries but at the end of the day they are no much different than the Democrats.

Nope, we are still at nearly 12 trillion, and 14 trillion GOP national debt with interest.

 

[Flash]

Democrats are fiscally irresponsible. That is a given. There is absolutely no question about that. That is a no brainer.

The real question is how many Republicans (who suppose to know better) go along with the Libtard irresponsibility and unfortunately the answer is "most of them".

Is that the only number that exists? And is Obama the only Dem President?

Because the numbers show that Dems are more fiscally responsible. I think you believe that going "WHUT?!?" means something.
