Conservatives irate over GOP’s spending hypocrisy

Sampson Simpson said:
The tea party? Who only cared about spending when the black liberal became president. Where were they when Bush was starting a bogus war that has racked up many billions and still going? Where are they now that Trump is president?

You just pointed out the ridiculous hypocrisy of many conservatives, all while doing yet another lame deflection to "but the democrats".

That's the key. They love the words 'small government' and 'fiscal responsibility' when the Democrats are in power. When the Republicans take charge though they increase the size and power of the government and increase the size of the deficit.

That's a false equivalence. Obamacare was created by Democrats and had a dedicated funding source. The same thing for Medicare and Social Security.

The difference is that Democrats propose spending and don't mind taxing to pay for the spending. Republicans spend more and cut-taxes, resulting in increased debts.

And yet the deficits and debt increase no matter who is congress

Yeah at the END of his presidency and didn't do jack **** about the spending and went full blown into the Obama administration. Now the ******s and fake bastards are hiding away while Trump spends spends spends because they aren't true fiscal conservatives. As long as the tea party gets tax breaks, they don't care what Trump does spending wise like the hypocrites they are.

Conservatives irate over GOP’s spending hypocrisy

Were they expecting someone else to grab their hands and say,
"Hey!!! Just a damn minute there you!! You people are SPENDING TOO MUCH!!" ????

Sorry, I ain't buying one shred of their fake outrage, not for a moment.

There are a LOT of us conservatives who are irate over that spending bill, most especially Congress's failure to defund those things they promised to defund in their campaigns. And we are irate that they are funding those things while denying the President funding for the wall that he promised in his campaign, a wall that likely kept a lot of Republicans in their present jobs because the American people want control over who will be allowed entry into the country.

But the left's self-righteous proclamations of the GOP being big spenders is about as hypocritical as it gets. For sure the GOP these days are not fiscal conservatives by any stretch of the imagination, but they share that less-than-commendable characteristic with the Democrats in spades. No Democratic administration or Congress has been fiscally conservative either, at least for the last 50 years.

Can we at least be intellectually honest about that?

I hear “irate” but I don’t see “irate”. I still see the latest lying conservative narrative “both sides do it” and the willful ignorance of the fact that deficits shoot up under republicans and go down under democrats. I know, just post “Yes, republicans are flaming lying hypocrites where deficits are concerned which proves their actions for 8 years under President Obama was to sabotage the economy and undermine the recovery for their political gain. They didn’t care about how many Americans suffered or suffered longer” and I might believe you are actually irate and intellectually honest. Thanks in advance.

So, you expect those who are irate to vote Democratic now? Nice to have an active fantasy life.
