George W. Bush Is Not a Fiscal Conservative

It's been pretty obvious to anybody who watches politics, but Andrew Sullivan lays it out clearly and quantitatively (via an AEI study). More liberal on spending than Bill Clinton? Wow.

Unfortunately, there is no one to take his place. Kerry is a principle-less jerk and the Libertarian candidate should be placed in a mental institution.

Fascinatingly, Badnarik has softened his image, post-nomination, and eliminated many hilarious articles on his website. There was an interview in which he stated that he would attempt to prosecute IRS officials for taxing people. It's a shame the transcript has disappeared from the site.
