That they care about fiscal conservatism.

That doesn't make any sense grammatically.  dps just said he's frustrated with lack of fiscal conservatism in the GOP.  If mongers were to respond to that with "oh, so you love the Republicans because they pretend to be fiscal conservatives???"  would be retarded.

Interesting that neither former President Bush voted for Donald Trump.  Not sure if we've ever had a former President publicly not supporting their party's nominee, even if the nominee is an -ino.

That's because it's not their party anymore.  It's not even a post-Constitutional party; it's become an anti-Constitutional party.  People like you that consider yourselves conservatives need to come to that realization now.

What the hell choice do we have but to try to take back the Republican Party?  It had been frustrating enough even before the rise of Trumpism trying to keep the Republicans doing more than paying lip service to fiscal conservatism, but the Democrats won't even pay lip service to it.
:hmm: So neither party in fact cares about the issue, but one of them is dishonest about it.  So you prefer the dishonest one?

No, I'll stick with the party that supports the idea in theory, but that hasn't had leadership with enough the balls to walk the walk, over the party that outright rejects the notion.

QuoteThe two former Bush presidents criticize President Trump in a new book to be released this month, with former President George W. Bush admitting that despite Trump's political affiliation, he's worried "that I will be the last Republican president."

Well Trump did methodically savage the Republican field, starting with Jeb! so maybe not so surprising.

"Fiscal conservatism" isn't the same as rightwing economics. It just means a policy of spending what you have rather than borrowing.

Renardo might be confused by the ambiguity attaching to the term these days.  I take it to mean hawkishness on the deficit, but some people use it to mean low taxes regardless of deficits.
