I presume we both feel that a woman's health choices are the business of no one but that woman and her doctor, that the financial industry needs to be more strictly regulated, that the military-industrial complex needs to be downsized, and that 8 years of George W. Bush completely debunked the mythology of tax-cuts and deregulation.petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-90050669362735169752012-01-24T18:37:15.911-05:002012-01-24T18:37:15.911-05:00Its supply-side economics of a sort.

Bush ...Speaking as a conservative to whom George W. Bush provided much the same disillusionment as Jimmy Carter did for '70s leftists, first: reproductive choice is a conservative issue. It's about the size and reach of government. Re-legalization is is a conservative issue. It's about the size and reach of government. Fighting the military-industrial complex and its wars for oil is a conservative issue. It's about the size and reach of government. Re-regulation of the financial industry is a conservative issue. It's about the size and reach of government - the real government.<br /><br />Hypocrisy, on the other hand, is an equal-opportunity bitch, whether it's self-styled "conservatives" working against people's freedom or labor unions destroying the country's industrial base in the name of the people they're putting out of work. The left/right dichotomy, derived as it is from the seating arrangements of the French National Assembly 200-plus years ago, doesn't really serve anymore.petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-44522070400565489442012-01-24T11:51:49.037-05:002012-01-24T11:51:49.037-05:00I'm just trying not to be tiresome.
