Gee US27, maybe you should leave it to the libs to tell us what libs think. The libs might have a better idea than a conservative dont you think?

But more to the point, in a diverse democratic country like ours there is ALWAYS going to be a fair proportion of government spending that any given individual doesnt like. There is no way around that short of dictatorship by one party, where all the spending is what THEY like and the rest of the people are told to stuff it. Thats what the communists and fascists do and we all ought to be able to agree that is a bad thing right?

I have no problem with complaining about government stupidity or even stuff that isnt stupid that you just dont agree with. That keeps them on their toes and with any luck embarrasses them into doing less stupid things. But it is a problem when ALL government is seen as bad because that is just as extreme as the far left libs you guys complain about. There is a sweet spot in the middle and as long as everyone is kept in the game we will see ebbs and flows where one side is on top for a while, then the other side, etc. So right now most people think Bush did a lousy job so he and the Repubs got spanked. We will see if Obama can do any better. I certainly hope he does but either way the repubs will be on top again some day - and i have no doubt their message will have evolved from what lost them two elections in a row.

Basically, you cant always get what you want, and in a democracy you shouldnt.
