>>> The lie you are repeating is the notion that the GOP didn't complain about Bush's deficit spending. Most conservatives I know have complained about it, even as far back as 2004. Not only that. Wherever you come down about Bush and deficit spending, what we KNOW, indisputably and with certainty, is that OBama is spending one hell of a lot more. 2x, 3x, whatever. It is a LOT more. So, it is laughable that MM would even MENTION Bush if he honestly believes deficit spending is a bad thing. The reality is that he believes deficit spending is bad when Rs do it and it a Great! when Ds do it.

"The lie you are repeating is the notion that the GOP didn't complain about Bush's deficit spending." I think you've got a convenient memory. (R)'s didn't really object to Bush's spending in any sort of a way that would force a change in behavior. Quibbling at the margins, at best. Even YOU would say you didn't approve of it, but agreed with everything else, or words like that. Elected (R)'s didn't complain AT ALL. They seemed happy to pay for Bush's unfunded wars as long as Bush signed EVERY appropriation they sent to his desk. Most of them are still there - why should we expect any change from THEM?
