Oh, you mean like our "conservative" junta now, eh? jb4 "Every Repbulican who wants to defend Bush on [the expansion of Presidential powers], should be forced to say, 'I wouldn't hesitate to see President Hillary Rodham Clinton have the same authority'." &mdash an unidentified letter writer to Newsweek on the expansion of executive powers under the Bush administration

Post #249,678 by bepatient 3/28/06 4:48:57 PM Reply	While there may be a defense or 2 they are using the term "non-defense related discretionary spending" alot. And to be fair, that tiny little piece has declined in their budget proposals. It does exclude the war and Katrina spending (and the massive waste included in that spending) which is tripling the debt. And while its not popular, they are at least discussing approaches to entitlements, which the democrats seem to be afraid of taking a stand on. As far as "conservative" nature of this junta...I think the real conservatives figured them out a while ago. Bush and admin simply fail...and failed immediately upon coming up with the "pre-emptive defense" strategy. They are all living up to my expectations. They all still suck. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
