Oooh! We can play this one for a while! My turn: By affirming that I affirm that I am a partisan hack, you confirm yourself to be a hack! And Your statement that my statement reeks of self-importance is even more self-important! Your turn. Keep the merry-go-round turning ...

I identify with the Republican Party of tradition and as such am disgusted with both the current administration's lack of fiscal responsibility and lack of federal restraint.
As I've said many times elsewhere, I'm a budget hawk. So the total lack of fiscal responsibility we have right now makes my teeth ache. I've never identified with either party, although I tend to get grumpier at whichever one is in power. So I may be both a hack and arrogant, but I laugh at anyone who tries to call me partisan.

I happen to have a bigger problem with the values and ideals of the Democratic Party- a value system that makes minorities reliant on government, undercuts American competitiveness, desires centralized federal power, and seeks to interpret the constitution to fit the feeling of the moment.
As far as "centralized federal power," well, uh, I think we're seeing a pretty amazing grab at that right now. And as far as intepreting the constitution to fit the moment, well, George F. Will (liberal!) has come out pretty strongly against the current admin.'s power grab. So two of your four objections to the minority party apply equally well to the majority party.

While boxing, is a jab not an attack? Chip, chip, chip- small steps towards a greater agenda. Soly has every right to post this, and I reserve the right to post my jabs at liberals as well.
Liberals. There's a word you see slung around with abandon. Seems these days that anyone who isn't strictly on board with the administration is some sort of liberal, if not a hippie. Back in the day, only about 20% of Americans identified themselves as liberals. I guess they must have been breeding, or converting, or something. Here's the disconnect: I hear Republicans calling everybody under the sun "liberals," but there aren't enough libs to win elections. Perhaps they're not voting?
