No, see, then the left would say it's not ok... -- nm - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 25, 09:17 18
- In the 8 years of W's presidency, I know the left complained about a nearly everything W did, but honestly, deficit spending wasn't one of them. - musubi Feb 25, 09:19 15
  - There was all kinds of complaining that Clinton's surplus had turned into a staggering $500 billion deficit. -- nm - Ender Feb 25, 10:48

        being serious for once may have been too much....nm - x Feb 25, 09:54

  - They did, in the "we should pay for our own damn wars" kind of way -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 09:26
  - Bush's irresponsible tax cuts, on the other hand... -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 09:25
  - I complained -- nm - crash davis Feb 25, 09:22 4
    - Really, about deficit spending? - musubi Feb 25, 09:25 3
      - Yes I did. But I'm not the established left. All that work Clinton did and it got flushed away. - crash davis Feb 25, 09:26 2
        
        we really really muffed that up. That was our chance. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 25, 09:41
        
        This. -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 09:37
  - and when they duid complain about spending, it was only in the context of authorizing emergency military spending outside of the budget - znufrii Feb 25, 09:21
- nah, the left would go back to blaming them for warmongering, Gitmo, and chipping away at our rights in the name of fighting terrorism. - znufrii Feb 25, 09:18
- No, they would say it's being spent on the wrong things -- nm - Roger More Feb 25, 09:17
I'm just glad that with a Dem in the White House, bombing terrorists and keeping Gitmo open are okay. - Dr.Vermin, sincerely Feb 25, 09:15 3
- not with Glenn Greenwald it isn't... -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 09:47
- I'd say Obama has disappointed a lot of people on both sides. - JaxSean Feb 25, 09:43

since both parties are cut from the same cloth, it really doesn't matter...nmh - x Feb 25, 09:12 11
- Maybe, but at least the HSR systems will get built :) -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 09:27
- hyde, being cynical? Say it ain't so! - musubi Feb 25, 09:17
- I regard to deficit spending, sure. But there are plenty of other ways the GOP would fuck the country up that have little to do with - TWuG Feb 25, 09:16 5
  - other than belligerent foreign policy pursued by the Bush administration, I can't imagine anything the GOP would do - znufrii Feb 25, 09:24
  - your mileage may vary. i think they're almost entirely the same, which is one reason i never vote for either of them.....nm - x Feb 25, 09:21 3
    - My mileage definitely varies. - TWuG Feb 25, 09:25 2
      - while these are very important distinctions, they are marginal issues that don't really speak to the overall running of the country as a whole. - znufrii Feb 25, 09:35
      - hey, that's super....nm - x Feb 25, 09:26
- no, Pepsi and Coke means i have a choice of soft drinks! -- nm - moles Feb 25, 09:12 2
  - both contain the deliciously cloying flavor of high fructose corn syrup!....nm - x Feb 25, 09:14 1
    - nice. -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 09:15
We'd better just stay the course, so that deficit spending will continue to be okay. - Strongbad Feb 25, 09:09
Heh, well put. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 09:08
