GOP Deficit Hawks-- Not So Much, It Seems

Well, well, well. Republicans' concern about the deficit only goes so far, it seems. They're just fine with the ways that the Chimperor and his GOP predecessors (Chimperor, Sr. and St. Ronnie) ran up the deficit:

A new Rasmussen poll supplies a very interesting data point in the ongoing debate about the budget deficit: As it turns out, Republican voters would prefer having a deficit if it meant they can get more tax cuts, instead of raising taxes in order to balance the budget.

So the Republicans are only concerned about the Federal budget deficit when they are not in power.

Big surprise, eh?
