I firmly believe in peace through strength because history proves it works. The one thing these republicans today need to do more of is shrink the pet programs of theirs and the democrats also need to do that, but I think the dems have many more groups to answer to for votes than the republicans. I also don't really agree with Bush's giving federal money to religious charity organizations. Federal money comes with strings. The pork needs to be trimmed drastically on both sides. |
