I'm fiscally conservative and for 2 decades all of my like-minded family and friends have preached about the horrible "tax and spend liberals". Mr. Clinton takes office and immediately raises taxes. Conservatives say, "see. there you go." Except the economy explodes at a record rate such that when Mr. Clinton leaves office there's a surplus. Still the conservatives complain about government spending and taxes. Mr. Bush takes office and increases non-defense, non-security spending at twice the rate of Mr. Clinton. He architects the largest expansion of the federal government since Mr. Johnson's "Great Society." The deficit explodes, the trade deficit approaches danger levels and a former Fed Chairman predicts "a 75% of a fiscal crisis within 5 years." I'd expect these same conservatives to howl as I do, but what do they say? Nothing. So my question is: What's your top voting issue? 1.) If it's social policy, we've got no argument. Your a Bush voter. 2.) If it's security, there's a reasonable argument that Mr. Bush has made our future worse. 3.) If it's fiscal conservatism then there's no question - Kerry's your man. So the interesting question is, it's no longer enough to say that you're "conservative". The real question is fiscal or social conservative? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=17 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:132680 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
