You want to label those that disagree with your side as hypocrites when your labeling is as hypocritical as anything. Because fiscal conservatives like myself disagree with the spending habits of America's most liberal president ever we are hypocrites because we didn't bash Bush as loudly? Or IN YOUR OPINION do you think we are simply bashing him because he is a liberal? Why does everything that Obama or Congress does have to be attached to prior arguments about Bush?
Despite being labeled by Joey and you I am much more centrist than either of you ever dreamed about. As far as social issues there are a lot of conservative views that I disagree with. I am for stricter gun control. I am neither pro or anti abortion. I dont like the intrusion of religion in politics though I think altering of historical buildings with religious sayings is a bit over the top. I have no problem with gay marriage. But on economic issues I am very much conservative as is a great deal of America. Maybe not your version of America but the rest of the country outside of big cities. And that will ultimately be the downfall of your party, again.

I'll answer honestly.
I would have had nothing to say, with the exception of maybe a snarky comment about how I wish he'd spend less on killing foreigners in wars or something like that which would have been expected.
About the actual spending itself? I didn't have much of a problem with it...I may not have had much "defending" to do, mostly because I was indifferent and I generally wouldn't put those two together, defending things I don't care about very much.
