I am not sure how you could possibly have got that from my post. Please allow me to explain myself.

I assume that, after reading some of your posts, the prefix portion of your screen name is short for the word conservative. That's all great an awesome except for several things.

Conservatives are now screaming about spending. They are now holding their tea bag shindigs and all fired up what with Boehner and the rest of the gang suddenly acting all fiscally responsible and screaming about liberals spending money and blabbity bla bla..

However, it is nothing more than empty rhetoric because for the last 8 years all you folks did was cheer on someone else doing the same thing. The current outrage is nothing more than one giant hypocrisy laden sandwich.

So now your know who I cheered for? your a mind reader? You know who I voted for too?

Just because republicans backed GWB...and him and a republican controlled congress spent too much...doesn't mean we can't go back to what we believe...small government and less spending. Get a grip my friend....your trying to use a double standard..and it won't work.

Oh, I don't think it's me that has a double standard, and please note we are not friends.

It's OK when Democrats do it because they are "compassionate" (until they have full power anyway), but not when Republicans do it because they are "mean."

Let's see if I understand the last exchange; The Demos are at fault for not having rallys to protest the Bushies irresponsible spending.

But now that a Demo administration is spending in order to resurect the economy (destroyed by Repub policies) they are irresponsible.

Somehow cutting taxes and going to unnecessary war is good. But government spending to put people to work enslaves our children.

No. Actually wasteful spending is stupid no matter whose doing it or what they're spending it on.

Unlike you, some of us aren't handicapped by partisan blinders.

Actually yes, most of you are blinded by partisan blinders. Or else Bush would not have been re-elected in 2004 after 4 years of irresponsible fiscal policy.

Until this economic collapse our greatest debt was incurred under Reagan and Bush. And both of these spendthrifts served two terms.

I don't believe this criticism of spending to repair the damage done by previous administrations is anything but partisan mental masturbation.
