Do you really, really trust Republicans to spend tax dollars wisely ?

[kentuck]

No matter what they say about Democrats being big spenders, the truth is that Democrats cannot hold a light to these "new" conservatives. Look what they have done in Iraq. We are now $3trillion dollars more in debt in just 4 years. No Democrat could ever hope to break that record. The Republicans think it is free - we don't have to pay for it. We'll just keep borrowing and spending.

But, the American people, and especially Republicans, must ask themselves if their Party can be trusted with taxpayer dollars. The answer is a resounding "NO". But can they admit it?

1. Absolutely Not, Sir

People who claim government is the problem csannot be trusted with charge of it....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[joanne]

2. I dont trust Repukes to do anything

except, of course, to smear their opponents. They are very good at that.

[The Magistrate]

13. And Steal, Ma'am

They are damned reliable in that regard....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[triguy46]

3. Nope.

They 'lost' over $10 billion in Iraq and don't think its worth looking for. Hell, it ain't their money, what do they care? They won't have to pay for this, it will be paid by what will be left of the middle class in 20 years.

5. I'm sure if they just look in a few Cayman Island bank accounts, the money

would no longer be 'lost'.

4. Trusting the GOP is...

Like trusting the Taliban guarding a US Nuclear missile facility...

[Johonny]

6. yes

If there was say a Democratic congress with oversight then yes I think I'd trust Republican president to spend money semi-wisely. However with absolutely no oversight I have zero trust right now in my government to spend money wisely. There simply is no reason to.

11. Check out Reagan's era..."R" prez. "D" congress.

Didn't stop the debt from being piled up either.

Politicians are in their own world and it doesn't matter which label they affix to their foreheads.

[Johonny]

18. Well

they caught him on Iran contra now didn't they.

[CrispyQ]

7. And this is the family values party? Yeah right!

This is how much they care for their children, grandchildren & great grandchildren, the future generations of their family? They leave monumental, unfathomable debt for them to deal with.

I can't believe the zealots never think of this angle.

[whatever4]

8. Thing is, these people aren't republicans

They stole the republican party. Just like they steal everything else.

Never trust a liar.

9. Howard Dean is right

Republican can't be trusted with money--especially other people's money! They seem to think every dollar someone else entrusts to them, including and especially the American people, is theirs to spend and misspend as they please.

Repukes are very stingy with their own money and extremely extravagant with the money of others. How the hell do you think they got rich?

[Coexist]

16. It will all go to their cronies.

No doubt. There will be minks and Lexus' all around in their circles.

[izzie]

10. Not this band of crooks. To top it off our children will pay for it.

Bush is now trying to buy people to like him, and any one can see that. The country has no money to do what he wants, to buy these people, or make his war, so we will go more in debt to make Bush happy. They must win the next election.I think it is called greed mixed with I really do not like the USA, but I am watching out for my self. This is what our 'father's' said would bring this country down.

[killbotfactory]

12. That money is going straight into the pockets of Bush's republican friends

It's been doing so for the past five years. These criminals are reverse robin hoods.

14. Long Standing Myth

They have never been more fiscally responsible than Dems. And, i mean NEVER.

The only difference is that dems were willing to raise taxes to support the spending, and Repubs find taxes so repulsive that they are willing to TALK about cutting spending to support cuts. They never actually cut spending though.

Thus has it always been.

15. I don't trust Republicans to do much of anything wisely.

Odd as it is to say so, the last Republican who seemed to have any wisdom (corrupted as it was in his case) was Richard Nixon. This bastard generation of Reagan-sucking, Falwell-fellating "neoconservative" reactionaries and fanatics has all the wisdom of a burned-out addict blowing strangers in an alleyway to pay for another rock.

[Blackwater]

17. No...

but I don't trust the Democrats to spend wisely either.
