Or maybe the conservatives get tired of having to fight the same stupid battles all the time. What happened to fiscal responsability? The cash for clunkers program has had a good response I agree, it has also dropped so many trash cars into junkyards that there is a whole new set of issues that have arisen. Social Security must be overhauled, the system, regardless of how popular it is, is not working the way it should. There simply is not enough money coming in and too much money going out. But perhaps we can simply approach this problem the same way that the left approaches most problems…let’s throw more money at it. Who cares if we have a balanced budget? We print the money, we’ll just make more. And if we need more, then we’ll simply take more in taxes from the people, after all we rule them right? If a program is not working as it should, then it needs to be reexamined, overhauled, or replaced. The idea the bush had to let people manage their own social security was a fantastic one, if people had simply invested in modest mutual funds, they would have more than enough to live on. Oh, but wait, if people actually can meet their own needs, then they won’t need to come get handouts from the government, and there goes the entire platform of the democratic party. Saying republicans can’t goven makes no sense. The democrats are just as bad if not worse. The problem in governement is that there are few statesmen left, people who turely care about the people they represent and about the nation they serve. It’s mainly just politicians, people too concerned about their own power and prestige and money to give a rat’s rear end about the people or the nation. And when you get a genuine statesman into office, generally the liberal left will do anything they can to discredit him or her becasue they simply don’t like the idea of the people having to work, and make their own decisions…you’d rather do it for them. It’s the same old story…give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Give it to him again the next day and he’ll eat again. Keep giving it to him and soon he will come to think that he is entitled to a fish a day, but when you’ve got no more fish to give him, he starves, fights, and steal’s someone elses. It would have been better in the beginning to teach him to fish, so that he could then work daily for his own food, and support himself and others, rather than becoming a drain on a fruitless system.

The problem is that today’s conservatives (and maybe conservatives in general) have no vision for what effective government is like, so they get in there and burn the whole thing down when they can.

This reminds me of how strange I find it when conservatives complain about government, but yet those same conservatives aspire to be apart of the government they constantly complain about.
