Thread Name: BS: Conservatism in the United States
Subject: RE: BS: Conservatism in the United States
I will get back to this when I don't have a day's worth of work to do but here is a quick thought...

Conservatives used to believe in fiscal responsibility yet most have been willing participants in voting for the wreckless Republicans since the days of Ronald Reagan, who for the record, was no hero in the dapartment of balenced budgets...

(But Ronald Reagan won the Cold War, Bobert, with his deficit spending for the military, didn't he???)

No, he didn't... He just happened to be at the right place at the right time as the USSR started to unravel... That was going to happen because of internal problems within the USSR and nothing to do with Reagan's "Just Say Charge It" fiscal policy...

For the life of me, I can't beleive that conservatives sit idly by as one Repub after another thinks that running up big deficits is sound policy???

These days, y6ou'll find more "liberals" that understand fiscal responsibilty that so-called conservative???

More later... The boss lady (the P-Vine) says that if I don't get my butt in gear then she gonna find a new place for this computer... Speaking of "butts", that is... Ouch...
