Obama does give good speech. It serves as cover for his bad ideas.

Please, stop calling this a ‘stimulus plan’ . . . it’s a ‘spending plan’.

A better analogy using your medical line of thinking is comparing the cost of the heart transplant to the cost of buying the booze that caused the cirrhosis. While the cost of the heart transplant may be well worth every penny that it costs, it won’t do a thing to solve the cirrhosis problem.

Same thing goes for the Obama spending plan. The cost for each of the above projects may be worth every penny that we spend on them, but they won’t stimulate the economy. They (and others that I didn’t list) are just pet spending projects.

I know that the Democrats have a hard time agreeing with anything the Republicans say, but this time we are on the same page. BUSH SPENT TOO MUCH! OK, I admit it (and so do many other conservatives), the Republican Party screwed up, they blew their chance, they helped us along down the sad economic path that we now find ourselves.

That takes us back to little Jimmy telling his parents “Yeah, but Johnny’s parents let him do it”. Just because “George’s party let him do it”, are the Democrats going to do the same thing?

You’re right; the Bush administration’s policies of spending like drunken sailors or Democrats did contribute in part to our current economic woes. But if those wild spending sprees by the Bush administration were wrong for America then, then why would you support the current Democratic administration’s policy of continuing down that same disastrous path? Because “George’s parents let him do it”?

Are you criticizing Governor Jindal because you believe that his message on fiscal responsibility is wrong? If you are, then President Bush did exactly what you believe in, he spent like a drunken sailor and you should have no criticism of him for doing so.

Or, are you commenting on Governor Jindal’s message because you think he was right? If you are, then your criticism of him has been misdirected. It should have directed at the Obama administration and their spending of more than a trillion dollars that we don’t have.

I, along with many other conservatives, and also reflected in President Bush’s final approval ratings, believe that he spent too much money (that we don’t have) and helped contribute to our current economic condition. But what was wrong for President Bush is also wrong for President Obama and his administration!

You and your cohorts stood MUTE while the Republican Party – NOT just Bush – THE REPUBLICAN PARTY – borrowed and spent like drunken sailors on leave.

The Republican record is clear: We are weaker nation both economically and strategically. Our nation’s infrastructure – energy, transportation, water, sewer, communication – received an overall grade of a D, with no category scoring about a C+ by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

And YOU and the rest of the Republican Party stood by and fiddled while Rome burned.

Now the bill for your party’s incompetence is due and we have two choices: dig deep and take the medicine, or we can sit back and play our fiddles more while Rome continues to burn. I think the choice is clear: we simply cannot continue to be a world leader until we repair the damage that the Republican Party has inflicted on the United States. If you think fiddling is the right answer, be my guest. You certainly are well-practiced.

So spare me your righteous indignation bonyT. If you had spent one quarter of the time chiding your own party’s leaders that your spend on Dan’s blog, we might not be in this mess right now.
