The "liberal way" is to spend money to build large unresponsive bureaucracies. The "liberal way" feeds internal networks of special interests and inside operatives.
Um...'scuse me previous posters...but all that name calling about liberals, democrats, socialist, commies,etc...is so backwards. Look at the current Republican deficit. Can't blame the dems for that. TRILLIONS more in dept.
Look at how they created a unresponsive gov't while the people in NOLA drowned. Hmmmm...can't be the dems who screwed up there. Sure...they had a Dem governor, but as the emails showed, the Republican incompetent appointees screwed up big time.
Nick spoke about selling out to special interest. Gosh, I guess Nick never heard of Abramhoff, Delay, and the fact that according to recently released articles, a huge net of Republicans may be in deep trouble now that Abramhoff is copping a plea.
Sure, there are some dem's who have sold out, but the majority of selling votes and passing legislation for money rests in the corrupt hands of Republicans. Anyone here ever hear of Duke Cunningham?
