Occasionally, I'll run through some of the Ohio liberal blogs linked through Blognetnews.com, and one of the things I never see in those blogs. I never see any liberal demand accountability for the government they pay for.
What I do see is demand for more government, especially when something like a Katrina disaster occurs but there is a general lack of demand for accountability on the programs we already have.
For instance, I'm still waiting to read my first post beating on the feds for the condition our social security and medicare system is in. We get all this stuff about SCHIP and nary a word about the programs we already have that are non responsive to our citizens already.
So the question remains. Do liberals demand accountable government?
Here's my hunch. Liberals don't like to get their hands dirty. They would rather sit around at parties and say they support this program and that program but there's really no interest in seeing that problems are actually resolved. They just like the pat on the back for doing good for their fellow man.
How else can you explain that after trillions of dollars for the war on poverty and yet we still have some of the worst looking slums in history of the country. Do you ever hear a democrat say "how could we spend all this money and still have these problems". Instead we get a dose of "we need an SCHIP program, yeah..... that's the ticket".
As a conservative, I might have more respect for a government program when the people that insist on having it, actually cares if it works.
