In recent days, the answer is an obvious yes. Ever since Obama won the election, democrats view themselves as these superior beings in the world of politics. What they are forgetting is that not all Americans voted for them. And, the ones that did vote for them expected them to make rational decisions.

It does not provide me with confidence in my government when officials are so over excited and cocky that they don't even bother reading a bill that plans to spend billions and trillions of taxpayers' dollars. Within days of Obama's election, he had his first spending bill passed. How can you honestly say that every single person in congress read, and coherently understood, what they were passing? Did they have any idea, or did they even care how it was going to affect America. It's just been one big party since January for the Democrats; unfortunately, for them, this party is finally starting to show its darker side (but that's another debate, isn't it).

President Bush and potential Republican candidates were criticized over and again because they were warmongers because they spent money on wars and tried to keep Americasafe. Oh no, how dare they spend money on legitimate reasons! However, it's perfectly fine for Democrats to put caps on CEO's paychecks and spend $600 million on condoms. Shall I use the word hypocrite, or degrade myself to a more colorful language?

It still amazes me how they can spend, spend, spend like there's no tomorrow. Yet, they refuse to protect us from the dangers of tomorrow; like Iran, illegal immigration, and foreign and domestic defense. It's not a good thing when you can sum up a president's time in office by saying that he has spent a billion dollars per day for each day that he has been in office.

Now, it is much easier to spend another person's money. And I also understand that we elect these people to do our bidding for us. But, I expect a bit more logical reasoning to be used in the process. My idea of logical reasoning is not funding things like oversea abortions and free birth control. How about focusing on the issues endangering people's jobs, border control, and foreign dependence?

When are these liberals going to realize that it is not their money they are spending? They can't just spend and spend without any consequences and soon these consequences are going to fall on the American people and make situations worse than they already are.
