You won't get it with this administration. Did you hear about the pledges the SecDef forced military staff to sign about the budget process? Not a good thing. You also won't get it with the current leadership in Congress ala the secret heath care meetings.

Hound, I completely agree with you about the abysmal Republican leadership but it boggles my mind that you sold your fiscal conservative principals down the road simply because you were mad a Bush? That is truly cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Now we are being told that the unfunded deficit for social security and medicare over the next 75 years is $69 trillion (see the recent GAO report)!!!!! Yes, that's "trillion". And yet you now want to turn over 1/5th of our economy over to a government that has already been a disaster with over $1 trillion in new debt just next year alone!?!?!? I just don't get someone that allows her dislike of a President to make a voting decision that has such long term negative consequences for the country.

You can argue all day long that McCain would have been just as bad but I adamantly believe you are dead wrong about that. While he wasn't my first choice, on fiscal issues he is a d@mm sight better than Obama and would have been a moderating force....... I know what's done is done and the votes are counted but it would go a long way to hear you say you are deeply concerned about the fiscal insanity that is going on in DC right now. Government may have a role in alleviating the problems with health insurance but they are creating a false crisis in order to implement a socialist agenda and we need to speak up. And the stimulus, which many of us rightly pointed out was not simulative is not working and yet they are using their own failures as an excuse for more failures. It is mind boggling but that's what you get with a sycophantic media that has abrogated their responsibility......
