Bush, Ford, Nixon.. were all Liberal Republicans.. not conservatives. Reagan tried to reduce the size of government .. cutting taxes dramatically .. he increased the military only because Carter had decimated it so badly. Reagan was hamstrung by a Democrat (liberal not leftist) Congress.. . Reagan, Goldwater are conservatives.. as are Gingrich, Jesse Helms, Cheney, Barr (although he has gone further right).and many more. They all preach for smaller, limited government. That is what conservatives believe.. individual freedom of choice is the solution .... |

Immigration: The New Third Rail of American Politics - HUMAN EVENTS "Like clockwork -- when the next Congressional election came around -- the Democratic Party led by then Speaker Thomas “Tip” O' Neil would demagogue the issue; and pronounce with TV ads that Republicans wanted to privatize Social Security and, by the way, cut or eliminate grandma’s benefit check." Read the Constitution.. ALL spending bills originate in the House. Democrats were big spenders then. Conservatives voted for Nixon.. who ran against . Conservatives voted against Dukakas and Kerry? Gore? McGovern.Geesh.. All liberal.. Gore and McGovern and Kerry are Leftists... That is why conservative will vote against Obama.. the most leftist Marxist ever to be elected to the Senate... |

Really not surprised? , then what are these NY Times stories all about..? HUH.. Unacceptable cuts in government.. SEE Leftists cannot cut their God and saviour.. government... Conservatives will continue to push for more and deeper cuts.. THE FINAL REAGAN BUDGET; REAGAN EMBRACES OPTIMISTIC GOALS IN HIS LAST BUDGET - New York Times "Over all, Mr. Reagan called for an end to 82 Federal programs plus deep cuts in a number of others; spending should be cut back by $9.7 billion on farm programs, he said, and by about $5 billion on Medicare and Medicaid, the two huge health programs for the elderly and the poor" Reagan Sends $1 Trillion Budget to Congress, and Battle Is Joined "hese were among other highlights of the budget the President submitted today: * There would be no cuts in Social Security benefits. * Pay for members of Congress, Federal judges and other high officials would rise, but not by as much as an advisory panel recommended. * The Federal Government would eliminate the subsidy on school lunches served to children from families with incomes more than 85 percent above the official poverty level. A family of four would be affected if it had earnings of more than $20,350 in 1988. * The budget of the Securities and Exchange Commission would rise 26 percent, from $114.5 million this year to $144.6 million in 1988. * Over the next five years, the Government would obtain $4.6 billion from selling the naval petroleum reserves at Elk Hills, Calif., and Teapot Dome, Wyo. It would get $13.8 billion from selling regional agencies that sell electric power. * Cuts in farm programs would save $500 million in 1988 and $23.9 billion over five years. Federal payments to farmers would no longer be based on the amount they produce. Farmers could receive payments under the wheat, corn, rice and cotton programs even if they chose to grow other crops, or no crops at all. But the payments would be sharply reduced from the levels permitted by current law. * Cuts in financial aid for college students would save $1.8 billion in 1988 and $20.2 billion over five years. College students would have to pay new fees for guaranteed student loans, ranging up to 9 percent of the amount borrowed. For the first time, students would have to pay interest on loans while they were still in school." Any cuts were unacceptable to the Democrat majority in the house and Senate.... Note the comments of Loyd Benston... who knew JFK... Conservatives did not vote for McCain in the primaries.. I heard that Hillary supporters voted for McCAin... instead of Obama... word is they will do this in the fall also. Last edited by Truth for a Change : 08-02-2008 at 03:58 PM. |

You can't because Reagan signed every one of them with a twinkle in his eye. That's your conservative for you... Quote:
I agree, government is the problem when conservatives like Reagan or Bush Jr run it. Sort of a self fulfilling prophecy. Quote:

The Raw Story | More than 56,000 in U.S. infected with AIDS each yearNow it's hard to say if this is another Bush failure because there is grounds to believe Bush never cared about solving the problem. In fact Bush probably believes like so many of this fellow republicans that HIV is God's revenge on the homosexuals. However, if this was anyone else, a person with an ounce of empathy and concern for the country, this would be another example of failure... |
