No sane American would.
You are correct no sane American would, because they will be labeled traitors.
But this is a democracy, and Bush will leave voluntarily in 2008, without leaving millions of dead Americans nor hundreds of thousands of anonymous men, women and children murdered in mass graves.
I guess the Iraqis do not count.
In addition to having presided over a good eight years of unparalleled prosperity in a country with the biggest GDP in the world.

There are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics.

We now have the largest budget deficit in our history.

If we all go out and borrow a lot of money we can appear to be very prosperous. At least, then, we can spend the borrowed money the way we want and perhaps invest it in things we can control.

Is this consistent with Conservative philosophy by letting the government borrow money and spending it for us?

By some accounts we have and will have spent over US$2 trillion on the war in Iraq.

Are we more prosperous now than when we were under the Clinton Administration when we had a budget surplus and also the biggest GDP in the world?
