I'm sorry, I do not fear the sequestration monster...my complaint is it does not do enough to address the issue of massive and insane deficit spending...
Did you know that only 6% of the American public realizes that the US debt has fallen for three straight years, and will fall again this year regardless of the sequestration monster (which, isn't really all that much of a monster, since it's not even a trillion dollars worth of cuts). Interesting factoid, at any rate. The debt rose under Bush (two wars off-the-budget-books, two enormous tax cuts, and an unfunded medicare expansion) and has since fallen under Obama.
Don't believe me, look it up.

And yet the debt has fallen considerably since the spring of 2010. Just sayin.
National Debt has increased more under Obama than under Bush

After all, we can point fingers all we want at each party, but they seem to me to be one and the same.
They're both guilty of generating crises's.

Sadly, too many of you can't discern the difference between conservative and Republican. I won't debate RNC versus DNC, since that's not the topic of the thread. Conservatives have shown a serious need for intense drama, and especially crisis. That's what this thread is examining. There are entire forums dedicated to how idiotic the two US political parties are. Go play there if you need that fix.
why so many of the folks who label themselves "registered conservatives" (which is odd, since I didn't know that conservatism is a political party, or that there actually is a Conservative Party that puts up national candidates, and has a registration process, but I digress...)

You have to admit, there are many who do view Conservative and Republican as one and the same. Just like Liberal and Democrat.
This ain't another one of your Psych tests is it?

Screw it, I replied to this post and the f*cking board's software ate that reply. I don't test people. Not because I can't think of a way to test people, but because I really don't care what anyone actually thinks about much of anything.
As far as American hard-right conservatives being screaming 10 yr old girls (relatively speaking), I don't need anyone to clarify it for me. The evidence is pretty conclusive. I just thought I'd comment on it this morning.
