RW, > Tell me what is the point of this circle jerk. You tell me. We all desire to pass on our values to the next generation. Somehow I've figured out a way to respect the opinions, the stories, and the life experiences of an old fart who has never returned the favor. How do you suppose that is? Huh? In the context of hypocrisy, I want to know that actually being a deficit hawk is still worth it. It was VERY uncomfortable being forced into a position to defend Bush when he allowed the GOP Congress to spend, spend, spend. That went completely against my beliefs, both political and common sense. Hence when you said that all this deficit spending is going to bite us in the butt and that Bush isn't a true conservative, I knew you had a point there. It might not show in my posts, but I assure you it's true. Now you're put into this uncomfortable spot of having to justify a $1.75 trillion deficit. And it doesn't look like you're dealing with it in a productive fashion. When you're emotional, it's so obvious even to an insensitive guy like me. So you tell me. What is the point of all this? After all, you're the #2 poster on this thread, exceeded only by Ted. Tenchusatsu

"why bother, these guys don't give a crap what happens to their country You've seen Obama's first 30 days and they will undoubtedly be the most "productive" of his first term. Can you honestly say you believe the country is better off for his actions? Dumping trillions of new liability for our kids to face; weakening us in the fight against the next terrorist attack; superficial actions like claiming Gitmo will be closed in a year; exhibiting ABSOLUTE PARTISANSHIP in his conduct. Do you think he id serving our country well? (we know you hate Bush, so please try to answer without a reference to Bush).
