I am absolutely appalled at how average republican voting people can be so hypocritical. Bush expanded the executive power. During his time, they raised the debt ceiling 7 times. And all of that was done without a single voice raising in dissention. Now that we have for the first time a black president, all of the sudden we have the formation of an entire political party for the soul purpose of being against the current president.
Where the hell were all the fiscal conservatives during Bush when he turned the biggest surplus we ever had from the Clinton years to the biggest deficit we ever had? Where the hell were all the fiscal conservatives when they raised the debt ceiling 7 times for Bush?
I am still convinced the tea party and other conservatives are racist at heart. They just hide it behind the political correctness called fiscal conservatism. This was not a problem during the Bush years even though Bush was spending like there was no tomorrow.
