[quote spearmint]2. The Republicans represent fiscal responsibility
That is one of the most absurd statements I've seen here. Fiscal responsibility means that you only spend money that you earn...i.e. revenue = expenditures (you know, the setup we had under the Clinton administration). The republicans have been deficit spending like drunken sailors (especially on this ridiculous uncalled for war). It is incredibly irresponsible to increase spending while cutting income (taxes). Based on this statement I suppose you think that keeping your credit cards maxed out is good personal finance.
