I am now an independent who dislikes either major party and remains a registered Republican because you reall can't be party-less in this nation. <BR/><BR/>On Republican spending: it is interesting that bureaucracy grows more under Republican presidents than under Democrats. For example, Richard Nixon started several agencies that are now major bureaucracies. I think he grew the size of the federal government more than Lyndon Johnson. That's pretty difficult to top with the War on Poverty and the Great Society. Anyway, Bush is no conservative when it comes to spending, that's for sure. Furthermore, infrastructure is one of the things the feds should pay out on, so cutting budgets in the past, not so good. I would add that in order for the levee to have held, they would have had to start construction during the Clinton years.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892778181543416624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-1126199933391441132005-09-08T13:18:00.000-04:002005-09-08T13:18:00.000-04:00Great post...

He is capable of singlehandedly making an unbelievable difference for thousands of gay couples, and he's putting his own career first.<BR/><BR/>As I've said about many Republicans: I hope he dies of cancer. A painful kind that requires multiple unhelpful surgeries. And young, too.Mike B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038475331310080470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-1126157006881759392005-09-08T01:23:00.000-04:002005-09-08T01:23:00.000-04:00I'm not really sure why Schwartzenegger is going t...I'm not really sure why Schwartzenegger is going that route. Maybe what he has in mind is that the courts should rule on the previously enacted proposition or something. It's a bit odd. I'd like to hear his explanation.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15873264637235332589noreply@blogger.com
