T H U R S D A Y , A U G U S T 0 4 , 2 0 0 5Republicans: The New Democratsby Michael in New York on 8/04/2005 12:23:00 PMThe Democrats were always mocked by Republicans as "taxand spend" liberals.</p><p> But guess what? That's a lot smarter andmore responsible than being a Republican who decides to "taxless for rich people and spend a LOT more."Bill Clinton was fiscally responsible and had the boomingeconomy to show for it.</p><p> Bush and the Republicans are spendingmoney like drunken sailors, while giving bigger and biggerkickbacks to the super-wealthy in the form of lowering estatetaxes and other bonuses that only benefit a tiny 1% of thepopulation.Republicans are the new "Democrats." If you want a fiscalconservative who is pledging to stay within their means, voteDemocratic.</p><p> If you think our country's economy should be runby people behaving like a college student with his first creditcard, vote Republican.As threader Jerry put it, "We've never known what the GOPwould do if they controlled all three branches of government,and now we do: record deficits, wars without end, rampantcorruption, isolation from the world community, invasion ofprivacy and a looming theocracy.</p><p> Happy?
