Eric Alterman explains why he did it here. Yes, Bush can ask for an additional $190,000,000,000 for his Iraq disaster for one year, but ask him for $35 billion for children's health care, financed and paid for by a new cigarette tax over five years and he considers that "socialized medicine". My favorite section:
As the apostate conservative, Kevin Phillips observes, "The Bush Administration is not against big government." What it opposes is merely that "portion of it that regulates business and requires tax increases, against a welfare system. When it's the latter, they're against big government, but when it's big government that takes care of the oil industry or bails out financial institutions or pumps money into the Pentagon, then they tend to be in favor of that."
My God, this son of a bitch is like something out of a Dickens novel.
The worst president, aided and abetted by the worst political faction in modern American history, the conservative Republicans.
