And everyone can rail against pork, but we all know that the GOP is the party of small government, right? That was Spanky's point, I think.
Politics is full of hypocrites, but Reagan and W. have purchased popularity through deficit spending, and while H.W. and Clinton paid the price (relatively speaking) for governing responsibly.

Clinton didn't pay a price for governing responsibly, he reaped a huge benefit. People were happy to see the deficit eliminated -- remember, it was not long before that Ross Perot gained such popularity with a message that was largely about the deficit.
Clinton squandered that benefit, for himself and his party, in exchange for a couple of blowjobs from a skanky intern.
