Letter: GOP ‘fiscal conservatism’ too little, too late

Saturday, Nov. 17, 2007 | 7:19 a.m.

A small group of radical conservative Republicans is trying to tie up the Congress. After six years of misrule without constraints on spending, foreign policy and war, and fiddling with the Constitution, they are now posing as "fiscal conservatives." And after six years of unrestrained pork such as the "Bridge to Nowhere," President Bush had an "epiphany" and found his veto pen.

The American people spoke in the past election, and will speak again in the next. Mr. Bush is the most insipid and deleterious of all the leaders of the free world. Who works for the greater good? Not Bush and his compliant Republican Party.

Rather than being part of the solution, Bush and his apologists have become part of the problem.
