i am also a registered republican with libertarian tendencies. its true, i'm more anti-liberal (in many ways at least) than pro-republican. anyway...
It does seem that both parties spend money like crazy, w/little thought to how it affects the budget. However, given the choice between the two, I prefer the Republican's sponsorship of the military and industry over the Democrat's emphasis on social programs. The investment in industry at least makes sure the money rejoins the private sector. Also, this policy is what makes the U.S. lead in so many technological and medical fields. True, some companies are getting superfat contracts from our tax money. But, there are some definite positives to the results we get from that investment.
