I question their fiscal motivation mostly because they were dead silent while Bush did the same and worse. Any fiscal complaint they have against

Obama exists in spades against Bush. And yet nary a peep from them during those 8 years.

That more than anything tells me the motivation is something other than fiscal.

You can compare this to the silence of a lot of people who stopped screaming about Iraq and Gitmo in Jan. 2009. -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Aug 23, 15:11 9
- No, there's a lot of us still outraged by Gitmo. - Mel Profit Aug 23, 15:15 2
  - But the opposition to it isn't anywhere near as vocal as it was when Bush was in office. - Stephen Aug 23, 15:23 1
    - Gitmo still being open isn't Obama's policy. Congress prevented its closure. -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 15:30
- And Libya -- nm - Stephen Aug 23, 15:13 5
  - Unlike Iraq, our involvement with Libya is because of things that are actually happening in the real world -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 15:34
  - so in that comparison Ghadaffi's rule and it's consequenses were made up? - Danedukenuuk Aug 23, 15:25
  - As vociferously as I was against the invasion of Iraq, I recognized it would have been foolish to simply abandon the operation - Reagen Aug 23, 15:20 2
    - Awesome, but you weren't really who I was commenting on at all... -- nm - Stephen Aug 23, 15:47
    - oh, you and your logical arguments. -- nm - mafic Aug 23, 15:31
