Clinton managed to cut spending. It would be nice if you would look at the facts instead of trying to just make your point. Liberals were seen in the ways that they were in that Republican realized years ago that they could not win the debate if it was based on fair logic. If you read Republican writings about the media you will see that Republican realized that in order to win they would need to smear the Democrats and gain control of the media. Can you give me cases where the ACLU was against law enforcement? I have given you at least one case where the Democrats sided with the law enforcement officials and the Republicans sided against them. I can now give you another one. After 9/11 Bush claimed that he would give aid to police and fire fighters across the country. However, when the time came to make good on that offer Bush refused. That is why so many police and firefighting groups supported Kerry over Bush in the 2004 election. Also, the mayor of New York was a Republican. Police and firefighters had asked Gulinani for better communication devices before the 9/11 attacks, but for some reason Gulinani never got around to giving them better equipment before 9/11. If police and firefighters had been given better communication devices maybe more would have survived the attacks. So, when one really looks at the facts one realizes that it is the Republican who have been at odds with the law enforcement crowd while the Democrats have been the group on the side of the law enforcement crowd.

Name one Republican who claimed to what spending reduced and then when given the opportunity to do so did. None of them. When they took control of Congress spending went up. Just visit the Citizens Against Government Waste website www.cagw.org.
