OnTheRocks Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 "[Democrats] are the same people who rediscover poverty every election and promise to cure it. They've cured it so often that they've now made a profession of it. They thrive on failures, on righting wrongs, aiding victims, and so forth. It must be understood that success in those tasks would put them out of business. No matter how many programs are set up and operating, their proponents never claim success for them. To do so would be to say the problems have been solved, meaning the programs are no longer needed. And the programs, not the problems, are their very reason for being." —Ronald Reagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Republicans never EVER install feel-good sounding social programs like faith-based initiatives or No Child Left Behind. Soldier on like your side is less of a problem, though, if it makes you feel better. Programs without any accountability are a problem, but to say that they never help anyone is bollocks.

Republicans have established two of the largest feel good spending programs in history in the last few years. The Homeland Security pork barrel polka, the War in Iraq bash, and the New Orleans Hearty Party. However, none of the feel good went to poor people.

drnykterstein Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Ronald was the last good president we had. Definately all of the Bushes and Clintons and such have not been worthy successors of him. If it were upto me we'd never had a person associated with a Clinton or a Bush anywhere near any public office ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The so-called "rich" pay virtually all the federal taxes anyway, so I'm not sure who else the tax cuts should be going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
