Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]TheBreeze: “Faux” Republicans? What is a faux Republican, in your opinion?
And wouldn’t Clinton have been a “faux” Democrat?
I enjoy the polemical nature of your posts, this response should be interesting.[/quote]
The term is ‘faux conservative’. I consider a faux conservative to be someone who is voting for McCain while at the same time deriding Obama’s ‘socialist’ policies. I use the term ‘faux conservative’ because I consider McCain to be just as socialist as Obama, it’s just that McCain’s socialism would be directed more towards the super-rich as opposed to the poor.
Faux conservatives also criticize Obama’s tax increases on the super-rich while ignoring the fact that Bush has doubled the deficit to $10 trillion+. How is the deficit going to be reduced other than by paying it down with tax increases? Who should be made to pay for Bush’s $11 trillion in taxpayer money to the super-rich? The poor? Shouldn’t the super-rich be made to pay for their own bailout?
Republicans these days are no more fiscally conservative than Democrats. It’s just that Republicans have somehow convinced their constituency that being fiscally conservative means reducing or eliminating taxes on the super-rich while at the same time spending massively on socialism for the rich.

Participant[quote=Veritas]If the bailout was just for the rich why did so many Democrats sign on? I was opposed on the basis of it goes against free market basics. I think it must have had something in it for them or it would have not been passed by Congress. As unpopular as Bush is, mostly conservative Republicans and local guys like Filner, who supported his constituency, voted against it. I think it was a smart vote to be against this turkey. No good can come of this big a giveaway.[/quote]
I’m voting against Democratic Representative Susan A. Davis because she voted for the bailout. Both McCain and Obama supported the bailout, so there is no difference between the two on that front.
