I'd love to see a poll of Teabaggers and how they identify on the political spectrum. I bet the conservatives would dwarf the liberals.

And who tripled the deficit? Reagan. Who doubled it again? Bush II. Where were they then?

Just remember that there are plenty of fiscally conservative Democrats out there and I think they'll be making their presence felt come election day.

You'd have a point except that the deficit is created by Congress, not the President. Now guess which party controlled Congress during the Reagan years? That's right, the Democrats. As for Bush II, yeah, that was the Republicans and the American voters certainly made them pay for it in the last two elections.

Excuse me if I'm wrong here (I'm just a simple french canadian) but of course the current U.S. administration would be spending the most in history. Isn't there inflation? Prices for 'things' cost more year after year, also the current administration had to bail out banks (or else the economy crashes), and it inherited two wars! So of course it would be spending the most in history.
Pointing this out as some kind of negative point, is a serious partisan twisting of the truth.

Edit: Of course, I'll be the first to admit I may be wrong. I'm not an economists.
