[Rhodes22-list] Brad's 25 minute demonstration of true evil[political]

Sat Jul 19 11:08:45 EDT 2008

Stan,

Unfortunately, what could have been the centerpiece of a successful Bush 43
administration, cutting taxes and a seven year long good economic run, is
overshadowed by an exponential increase in entitlement program spending.
Yes, the war in Iraq has been expensive but it will be over soon enough.
All these programs and departments W has increased funding for never go
away!

The closest any politician has come to my way of thinking, ie, the smaller
the government the better, was Goldwater.  Which reminds me of something he
said one time after being denied access to a golf course because it was
"restricted".  "Since I'm only half Jewish, couldn't I at least play nine
holes?"
