Political rant.

Sen. Reed: no 'blank check' for war in Iraq


See, a lot of the Republicans I know here in RL (and I'm not saying the ones I talk to often are representative), forever complain about how the Democrats just want to spend-spend-spend. How the Democrats want more taxes and they want to pour money into the poor and people who don't deserve it.

*Sigh*

And here are the Republicans pouring money into Iraq without an exit date, giving money to both people who have enough oil to fund their own darn army AND big corporations who are already MAKING money.

To be fair, to run a government is to spend-spend-spend. It's like criticizing a person for breathing.  But I'd much rather that money be spent on on our own people than on others.

I stopped identifying as Republican about the time I realized they stopped acting conservative on any issue that didn't involve God.

You mean like the "free market" Republicans that come crying for a bailout when their banks went belly up? Like the "smaller government" Republicans who think it's fine for Washington to spy on Americans? The "pro-life" Republicans who love the death penalty? The "family values" Republicans either on their 6th marriage or caught with a 17 year old boy?

Pretty much. They all wanted smaller government until they came into control, they were "for the middle class worker" but only every year there's an election, and their idea of conservative values involves actions not even they are willing to live up to.
