Faux GOP getting to me
Where have all the Republicans gone?
There was a time when the Republican Party stood for limited government and fiscal sanity. That's only a memory now.
The GOP has not only joined the race to buy its way into the hearts of Americans, it has pulled ahead of the Democrats. George Bush is this generation's LBJ.
A transportation bill bursting with special-interest projects (my favorite being a $200 million bridge to an Alaskan island for the benefit of its 50 residents), a pork-laden farm bill, the largest increase in entitlement history with a Medicare reform package are just a few of the hallmarks of the Bush administration.
And to show that Bush is truly a people person, he committed the federal government of rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast area hit by Katrina. Price tag: $260 billion and growing.
With Republicans like this, who needs Democrats?
