I still have my Snowmobilers for Bush bumper sticker because back then the tree huggers were trying to kick us out of Yellowstone and close other land use areas. Record spending, Patriot Act and then the invasion of Iraq I was like WTF? I actually supported Pat Buchanan in the 2000 election but they ran him off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of whom i supported during the NH primaries although I was OK with Romney as he did a decent job in Mass. Hardest vote was for Orange Jesus.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 6, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Sadly the GOP is no longer fiscally conservative but honestly the other side is worse when it comes to spending. Still love to see a Rand Paul/Ben Crenshaw ticket in 2024. Edited August 6, 2020 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is without 60 votes in the Senate its impossible to be fiscally sound and not enough American's like govt shutdowns. Same people who cry about spending cry about govt shutdowns. People also have to understand that mandatory spending makes up 60% of the budget. Takes an act of God to get that reduced.

No. I look at both history of what a party did and what the party is proposing in the future. Between the Green New deal, UHC and many other things the dems want to spend trillions and trillions more. I'm also smart enough to understand the difference between D and M spending.

So you keep making excuses for the people who are supposed to be "conservative" and Im sure things will get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one time spending compared to programs that spend more in the years going forward seems to be the difference to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not making excuses for the party but I'll make a point why one side is still a more fiscally conservative choice than the other based on the programs they are advocating for now and in the future. Reality is we have to do something about mandatory spending of which neither party has the nuts to do. Defense while out of had is still only about 17% of the total budget.

Deficits go up more under the last 2 republican adminstrations. They pretend to be fiscally conservative to get elected but thats about as far as that goes. You can argue about who wants to spend what where but republicans arent the least bit fiscally conservative or even at least more fiscally conservative. they are whores.

So it didn't go up under Obama? The GOP is not legislating conservatively.....I'll give you that but the alternative is worse.
