Yes if you go by the huffington post you'll find all kinds of good news for Democrats. What else do you hate? Let it out we're listening.

I would be more okay with conservatives whining about budget deficits if they did so consistently rather than only when a Democrat was in the White House.

And then there's the "Well Bush wasn't a real conservative" cop-out. You voted for him, didn't you? If he wasn't a real conservative, why didn't you vote for the Libertarian Party or the Constitution Party?

Who the hell would vote for someone who has no chance at winning? The two party system allows for each candidate to have the greatest chance at winning without running unopposed. Voting for a third party is like throwing your vote away. Bush was a real conservative but like a lot of people on the right he supported more government and spending when it came to defense and homeland security. Republicans were concerned about the debt when Bush was in office too if you remember. Both parties accuse the other of running up our debt because what one party spends money on isn't the other party's concern. Talking about a problem as long as your party isn't in office is nothing new to politics. People act like they've never heard of partisanship.

How many times have Democrats ever shut down the government or threatened to shut down the government when a Republican was in the White House?

And last I checked, giving old people prescription drug benefits without raising taxes to pay for them isn't under the umbrella of "defense and homeland security." It's currying favor with the olds to win Florida.

Yes both parties do it. There were Democrats against the Medicare bill in 2003.
