It just occurred to me that although the Republicans are generally accusing the Democrats of being bleeding hearts, they are ones wrapping themselves in patriotic rhetoric about love for your country, and whenever the Democrats want to spend some money on a social program it's a foolish waste, but whenever the GOP wants another trillion for defense it's all about fighting terrorism.
It's all about love and money. Love is the emotional side of the argument, and money is hard nosed, logical side. People, being people, are affected by both. Seems to me the Republicans are making a big emotional stink to cover up their theft of the missing two trillion dollars.
Logically, I know that the Democrats are just as bad. Any time you get people in positions of power there are going to be abuses. I'm just pissed that things were going so well under Clinton, and then good ol' GW got in and things went straight to heck. Those fool rednecks drove this country so far into the ground we may never get out.
But hey, "we" voted for them, so that's what we get.
Remember, we're not rational people, but a rationalizing people. This explains how you can forget who's been spending our money the last two years. Hint: It isn't the GOP.
