endo gets -17 with my vote.
How DARE you say that Bush spends like a Democrat?
Democrats would not be rewarding war profiteers such as the Carlyle group, Halliburton and Blackwater.
Did you know that Blackwater has been recruiting our own soldiers to sign on with them and stay to make "tons more money"?
Democrats would not reward Exxon and Texaco while airlines are struggling to pay fuel increases and BOTH of those expenses are passed on to the taxpayer with higher travel and home heating costs.
You still defend the indefensible.
You PATHETICALLY heap praise on a Republican congress that balanced the budget, but they have never lost power, so why don't you blame them for the deficit? Your "logic" is mind boggling, but whittled down to the point where only a fool would accept it.
Your scare tactics are representative of the ramblings of angry old people. Those same angry old people occupy congress and got us into this mess! Try thinking young,
it's refreshing!

--For the same reason they claim that Bush can't do anything about sky high gas prices (I'm guessing begging OPEC to increase oil production as he did last month doesn't qualify as "anything") and then turn around and tell us we should be grateful (when prices decrease temporarily) because Bush "gave" us lower prices. They're hypocrites.

ok fellas
i have to speak up. all this "angry old people" talk is a little offensive, not to mention inaccurate.
some of us "angry old people" remember the 60s and 70s. we remember kent state, we remember watergate, the cover-up, the "enemies list", the "secret wars" in laos and cambodia.
first of all, WE taught YOU what social liberalism is. WE taught YOU what dissent and protest are.
and if we're "angry and old" its because weve been fighting these fascists who would hand our country over to the military-industrial corporate complex, and those whose goal for america is somwthing akin to "1984" for the last 40 years. thats enough to make anyone angry. as for old, given the alternative (DEAD) ill take old anyday!
its time for the next generation to get involved and take up the torch. do U have what WE did? will YOU stand up, protest, go to jail for what you believe, like WE did?
continued

But it was the angry old people (with archaic minds)
that you and we have been fighting since the days of Marie Antoinette..You see, you may believe that you are old,
but your mind is as young as ever...
It is only the former warriors who give up as they age that
fall out of the picture, but they do not grow old and angry.
They grow old and frustrated, but they should keep fighting and they won't be frustrated.
They say a conservative is a liberal who hasn't been mugged yet, but I say that a liberal who has been mugged was just in the wrong place that day and nothing should change their resolve.
The term was meant to paint the image of selfish, mean-spirited hateful, blame everyone else or, send someone else's kid off to war, in the case of the wealthy, to protect what is theirs, kind of "old man's mentality" that we have all been struggling to change for hundreds of years..
