Reply #10: Fiscal Discipline

[Zero Gravitas]

It should be increasing obvious to most that "fiscal discipline" and the republican party are not synonymous! The budget deficit tripled under Reagan and George I was eliminated under Clinton and is now reaching record depths under George II.

I would recommend encouraging Republicans to split their vote in November, vote for ABB for President (and surely Kerry would be acceptable to many moderate Republicans?) and vote for whatever fundie whacko the local GOP puts up for Congress ;)

Unless the GOP is going to rely on Divine Intervention to balance the budget they might at least hold President Kerry's feet to the budgetary fires.

I of course will campaign for a Dem take-back of Congress :) If only my rep wasn't a pro-Bush DINO I would go and volunteer for him.
