We've been listening to the GOP endlessly complain about "Spending" for the last six months. They seem to either be acutely unaware of the last eight years under Bush which they whole heartily supported, or are unapologetic hypocrites. What is your take?
Frankly I find their constant complaining to be incredibly hypocritical and disingenuous. If they were so concerned about spending, debt, and the deficit, where in the hell were they for the last eight years? Why then did they rabidly defend the policies of their hero George W. Bush to no end, no matter how illogical or damaging it may have been? How can these people have an ounce of credibility or any integrity when they themselves advocated, cheered and put a man in office twice that did the same things they moan and groan over to no end?
This party prides itself on righteousness and candor yet embodies non of these qualities. Where is the honor? Where is the sincerity? Where is their capacity to be honest with themselves? What is forthright and truthful about all this? I see screaming, yelling, misdirection, cheap hyperbole, every possible logical fallacy argument known to man kind, and backsliders masquerading as concerned citizens for this great country. That's what I see.

Yes, I would have to agree that the nature of American Conservatism (and to a moderate extent Liberalism also) is hypocritcal by nature.
Both are hypocritical of each other.....they just go through role reversal when ever the majority in the middle elect the other party to run the country.......for awhile.
SLC this is quite easy!
When Conservatives spend it is done for American Security, Safety and the protection of our freedoms
When Liberals spend it is outright Socialism!
You didn't see any deficit at all in 2001. Didn't take long for Republicans to screw that up...as ACTUAL numbers show, not a bunch of PROJECTIONS that most right-wingers don't understand to start out with...
The problem is, left wingers are as bad as conservatives in the hypocrisy department. One look at Obama's job performance compared to Bush is proof of that.
Now if a third party or independant wants to insult conservatives and liberals for identical stupidity and ignorance, I guess we'll all have to listen and agree.

He's been in office for 7 months for crying out loud.
America= it has to work in a week or we can't wait any longer.
