Practice What You Preach

Why don't republicans practice what they preach? It might be my imagination, but I thought the republicans were claiming to be conservatives. However, I don't see many conservative beliefs being practiced by Georgie's administration or the republican-controlled congress.

Conservatives are supposed to believe in smaller and more efficient government. During Georgie's administration, government has grown larger and faster than ever before. Even past democratic presidents have not spent as fast or as much as Georgie has. The congress must agree with all this spending, because they have done nothing to stop it.

Conservative are also supposed to believe in a balanced budget. When Georgie took office, there was a trillion dollar surplus left in the treasury by President Clinton. Georgie, and his congressional co-actors have not only spent the surplus, but have put us trillions of dollars in debt. Georgie has to be the King of the Big-Time Spenders.

Conservatives claim to be the defenders of citizens' rights. Yet, taking away american rights via the Patriot Act seems to be okay with republicans. They also have no problem with americans' phones being tapped without a warrant or judicial oversight, and they want to take away a woman's right to choose. Honestly, I can't think of any right they are protecting.

I honestly don't know what makes a conservative nowdays. It seems that their greed and their desire to install a theocracy has caused them to abandon all of their old beliefs. Why don't they just practice what they preach?
