As a conservative I take exception to the use of that term for Republicans unless someone can show me something they have conserved.

Try the greatest economy the world has ever known. Sure cant give credit
to the libs who are constantly trying to tear it down so they can have free
health care and checks in the mail.

There's nothing left for the Lib's to tear down, even if they wanted to. Dubya and his minions took full advantage of their wrecking license.

Really? So that is why the bridges are falling down, roads look like something you would find in Baghdad, they can't keep the power on in a 10 MPH breeze? That's conservation? I think not.

No one wants free health care and you know it, we are just tired of being screwed by foreign pharmaceutical companies and the disease insurance industry. Jeez, you would think an American government would protect its own people from a bunch of rapacious foreigners, but no. All they do is say "Come on AstraZenica, Novartis, Bayer, GlaxoSmithKlien, away you go they are all yours, ripe for the picking".

Funny thing was when I was still lecturing in Europe those 'socialist' roads were smoother than a baby's bottom and the lights stayed on. I could get from A to B easily and comfortably with or without a car. People queud up at the bus stops, no pushing and shoving.

This is why we must privatize the roads and highway systems. So that every time you return home from a long trip, the various owners of each piece of road you used can send you a bill.

Sound good to you, Rob?

Sounds exactly like the good old days of the robber barons, yipee, let's all go back to the Middle Ages.

"The Gilded Age" will do nicely. Laissez faire capitalism's finest hour.
