LA_Renter: I don’t know about you, but as a conservative myself I am hard pressed to identify Dubya as a conservative (in the true Goldwater sense of the word). He is the worst of all possible worlds: A Tax & Spend Republican.
As much grief as I’d like to give Bill Clinton for his time in the Presidency, he did manage to balance the budget and create something of a surplus. Admittedly, this was ginned up somewhat by the Dot.conomy and playing around with Social Security, but we weren’t confronting the massive deficits and trade imbalances we have at present.
I worry about Obama’s lack of experience, his willingness to kowtow to the hard Left, and a liberal Democrat’s tendencies to “socialize” various problems with expensive and ineffective programs.
