[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [qb] Since you still don't seem to get it, Jordan, let me spell it out. You...are...generalizing... Clear enough? You are labeling ALL conservatives\conservatism as a whole by using some (well publicized) examples of those who claim the title yet don't 'walk the walk'. I could do the same with Dems, liberals, Obama-ites, etc. It would not do any justice to the conversation to do so though so I haven't. Conservatism(or any other way of thought\life) should be judged by the effect on those that DO live by it, rather than by those that fail to do so. [/qb][/QUOTE]so, tell me who is a Real Conservative? and when was th elast one inoffice? Don't hand me Reagan either cuz he was pretty liberal compared to the "Conservative standards" most often offered up today ... he increased federal spending deficits and he was for progressive taxation: [i]In 1980, the last year of Jimmy Carter’s presidency, government outlays were running at 21.7% of GDP and the budget deficit was 2.7% of GDP. (The economy was also a basket case, which is when you would expect budget deficits to be at their worse.) In 1988, Reagan’s last year in office, outlays as a percent of GDP were running at 21.3% with a deficit of 3.1% of GDP. The budget deficit over Reagan’s eight years averaged 4.2% and ran as high as 6.0% in 1983. Bush entered office with an economy that was booming: in 2000 government outlays ran at 18.4% of GDP with a budget surplus of 2.4%. But the stock market implosion, 9/11 and the war quickly changed the budget dynamics and the surplus switched to a deficit of 3.5% in 2003 and 3.6% in 2004. In 2005, the budget deficit came in at 2.6%, with government outlays running at 20.1% of GDP[/i] http://www.realclearpolitics.com/Commentary/com-2_17_06_JM.html [/QB][/QUOTE]
