Everybody's favorite Republican, Zombyboy, expresses his frustration with out-of-control GOP spending and government expansion:
We Republicans own the responsibility, in essence, for turning in another massive social spending plan that has the potential (like Social Security) to end up bankrupting our nation. And this time we have no one to blame but ourselves.
This year, my single most important issue is the continued war on militant Islam. There is nothing more important in my mind than that. This doesn't mean, though, that we in the Grand Old Party should sit back and allow our elected leaders to continue down a path of which we do not approve. The question, though, becomes not one of a message that we want to convey ("Hey, people, control the spending and return to the roots of the Republican party!"), but how best to convey that message.
This would imply that he would vote for a Democrat who would prosecute the war. How else could you send any message? Re-election means telling Bush and congress to just keep on going as they have.
I miss gridlock.
