The Pork Barrel President

During the last debate President Bush quipped that Kerry is so liberal that he makes Senator Kennedy look like "the conservative" from Massachusetts. As usual that was just one more example of the Bush team trying to portray Kerry with the attributes that Bush himself possesses. Case in point is spending bills passed by Congress.

Bush is the first President ever to not veto a single piece of legislation. He talks on the campaign trail about the need to instill fiscal discipline in Congress. What kind of a spineless twerp can't locate his own damn cajones long enough to veto a single Pork Barrel Bill in nearly 4 years? George "Dubya" Bush, that's what kind.

Today President Bush quietly signed the latest Corporate Tax Break that landed on his desk.

Long-time opponent of Pork Barrel politics Senator John McCain called the measure, "the worst example of the influence of special interests that I have ever seen."

The cold, hard reality is that President Bush's fiscal record is so Liberal that John Kerry is "the Conservative" in the race. And frankly that's an open insult to Liberals, who actually advocate paying for their spending with something more substantial than an IOU to our children and grandchildren. Bush is in a category all his own here.
