<<<< More evidence for Wharfie's argument that the Reps aren't interested in governing; only in opposing Obama >>>>

Wait, wait wait! That's a whole different issue and one I completely agree with you on. They hate Obama and will indeed do anything they can to oppose what he does. I am completely convinced there is an element of racism in their dislike. It's ugly and it makes me sick. ......But to go from there to the idea that they don't want government is just silly. My gawd John - look at the defense industry! We spend the same as the rest of the world for gawds sake. That's government you know.

Bush was NOT unusual. It's just that he was such a failure that they are now trying to distant themselves from him. Did they do that while he was President? Hell no. They all jumped aboard. Why? Because that was spending for stufff they wanted. To throw Bush out is rewriting history.
