Hardly. Nixon campaigned on a "secret plan to end the war" in Viet Nam, then escalated and continued it until he was forced to resign due to the Watergate scandal. Nixon also christened the "War on Drugs," which continues to waste billions annually. When Nixon's spending and other factors caused inflation to increase

Fair enough... So the last Republican president that we can claim was a fiscal conservative by any reasonable criteria is Eisenhower, over 52 years ago. So how are Republicans the party of fiscal conservatism?

Dan,

Although you point out the fact that repubs are not fiscally conservative, the fact is that NEITHER repubs nor democrats are fiscally conservative.

Yes I am the fool, yet you are the one making moronic generalizations like this:

You can assert as much as you want. I provided ample evidence to back up my claims. You have presented no evidence to back up yours. 'Nuff said.

Meccos says

oh yeah and the only "smart" people in the world are engineers...

Dan's implication that smart people are engineers

Unlike you, Vincente is smart enough to read my posts and realize that I've said, engineers are smart people, not all smart people are engineers.

I never claimed that either anywhere. You'd realize that if you would shut the fuck up long enough to read other people's posts instead of skimming them. You'd be a lot more intelligent if you listened more than you spoke. Plus, fewer people would realize how dumb you are.

Yes your quote that I copied wasn't evidence at all (the quote you conveniently excluded in your reply).... and the fact that you simply state you provide evidence is enough evidence to back your claim...

Perhaps you should heed your own advice and read what I read more carefully. I never said you said all smart people are engineers. Rather you simply state the following moronic statements:
Dan8267 says

Liberals like me created the advanced technologies, not corporations. Individual engineers, human beings, are responsible for every single technological advancement ever made.

Furthermore, we engineers tend be to damn liberal and graduate from liberal colleges like MIT, CalTech, Berkeley. There aren't too many engineers coming out of the Jimmy Swaggart Bible College.

Smart, educated people tend to be rational, liberal, science-oriented atheists whether you like it or not. I'm the perfect example of this.

BTW, i like how you take this "straw man" argument which someone used against you and try to make it your own.

you mad dude? Its quite funny you go on this rant about how I should read things more carefully when in fact you should actually read what I wrote.
All i did was simply point out this fact that both repubs and demos fail to be fiscally conservative in response to you pointing out the repubs are not fiscally conservative. My point was that BOTH parties are not fiscally conservative. So what exactly did I accuse you of claiming? hahah Chill out bro and dont get your panties in a bunch.

Dan8267, before wasting more time on Meccos, you might want to check some of his other comments.

Keep alleging that I'm angry. I'm sure people will believe you.

This is what angry sounds like...

this is the best that a smart liberal engineer can come up with?

smart engineers cant come up with your own insults? the three attempts at insults were all plagiarized hahaha

i mean, dan... its pretty sad and pathetic when you have to resort to plagiarizing insults over a disagreement on a housing forum. hahah

Dude liberals like you created everything we enjoy today.. but you cant even come up with your own insults...

thank you for the many laughs tonight... we can continue this another day. Had enough laughs for one night.

Took you long enough to figure that out. I got tired of making up insults after the first two. Still, the others were classics. Yet, you still claimed they were lame. And that shows a level of dishonesty that only a petty mind has.

Fair enough. I wanted to err on the side of overestimating the conservative nature of the top engineering schools to demonstrate that most engineers are liberals.

Surveys I've seen of engineers lean towards "fiscally conservative, socially liberal". But I expect there's some variation between say mechanical engineers and people on the "softer side" as engineering has expanded some of them are nearly management majors. I think of Industrial Systems Engineers like that.

Vincente, this whole post is so retarded I dont even know why I continue to comment on this. Dan's implication that smart people are engineers and that most top engineering universities are at more politically liberal schools and therefore smart people are liberals is such a stretch through loose associations that it is complete comedy.

LOL! i guess the engineers also did the selling, marketing, and finance...

one thing to always remember in business...is never give an engineer your check book!

Your bound to go bankrupt before you make any meaning progress in the market place...
