It's the Spending Stupid

Liberals just don't get it. They just do not understand why they lost the senate race in Massachusetts . They don't understand why they are losing more seats in November.

For that matter, many conservatives don't get it either.

It's not "anger" with Bush.
It's not Healthcare.
It's not the bailout.
It's not the backdoor deals.
It's not sleeping with Wall Street.
It's not the buying of auto companies.

On and On and On the list could go as pundits pontificate.

Of course, none of these things help the outlook for liberals in Washington and across the nation, but they just don't get the one thing that has the American public really pissed off.

It's the SPENDING stupid.

For the average American, heathcare for the poor is okay, bailing out banks is ok, welfare, food stamps, shopping carts for the homeless, any program crazy or not, you can think of, is usually okay with any American if it is helping someone, anyone. But thats "if" and only if you can pay for it.
And America cannot pay for any of it.
