Of Course Not

Does anybody read?

Yesterday, Senator Clinton attacked Bush while giving a speech, accusing him of damaging the economy "by overspending" and for giving tax cuts to "the rich."

The amazing thing about this is that this attack comes after we've seen 25 straight months of economic growth, and an unemployment rate now at 5%.

Still, the sad thing is Democrats get away with talking down our strong economy. I wrote a month ago about my concerns that Democrats bashing our economy seems to have been effective at convincing people our economy is in bad shape.

The truth of the matter is that facts don't know the difference between Democrats and Republicans. The facts are clear as crystal, and anyone that has been keeping an eye on the economy should know that George W. Bush took an economy that was in bad shape because of Clinton-era policies, and turned things around.

Oh, gag me with a spoon already!

EVERYONE fucking knows that there was a SURPLUS when greedy man was installed in office in 2000. It was greedy man's policies that took this nation from a surplus, to a deficit the likes of which are unparalleled in the history of the United States.

President Bush turned Clinton's budget surplus in to a deficit of over 480 billion Dollars as of the end of last year. According to the bipartisan congressional budget office two thirds of the deficits was due to the tax cuts for the rich Bush unnecessary introduced so his rich friends and contributors can benefit.(more)

The federal budget surplus when Bill Clinton left office was projected to grow to $5.6 trillion over the next decade. Instead, the deficit for last year alone is $445 billion. That’s an amazing turnaround. (more)

I could go on, and on, and on, but it would be lost on these morons. As long as der leader tells them that his administration has "turned things around," they will believe it. Actually, the funny thing is, BushCo. has "turned things around," just not for the better.

The silliness and stupidity on the part of these young republicans can be readily seen in this little video up at Crooks and Liars. Check it out. It is funny. When one of the participants was asked if he would go fight in Iraq, without any hesitation, he replied: "Of course not."

Of course not. That's the sad truth. No one wants to fight in this war started by Dumbya and his Dumbettes. But the gall of these people to call those that oppose the war traitors and unAmerican, etc., when nary a soul on their side would enlist, just gnaws at my gut. The loudest supporters of this war are generally the most lily livered cowards in real life. Ain't that the sad truth.
