A few points to your few points
1. We went from a $Trillion budget SURPLUS to a multi-$Trillion budget DEFICIT in less than three years.
The "trillion" dollar budget surplus was outrageously overstated by Clinton and included the Social Secutiry $$$.. Clinton's admin also supplemented that "surplus" with the highest tax rate this nation has ever seen. His admin and the Democrats in general, think we are not intelligent enough to keep our hard earned dollars and prefer to put them into a "huge" pile for their control and disbursement.. for us of course (tongue in cheek)
2. Approximately 2.5 million jobs have been lost since GW Bush became president.
about 95% of those jobs were lost due to 9/11.. remember that? stock markets closed for 2 weeks, airplanes grounded for as long. The worst attack on american soil ever? A terrorist attack, never happened here ever? And need I remind you.. clinton had bin laden given to him.. he refused to take him into custody.
3. I haven't had a decent return on stock market investments since he became president.
The clinton "contrived" market was part of his presidency., the stock market started showing losses in March,1999 .. under clintons watch.. the "cooked books" was also a huge part.. corp CEO's lied and they cheated, something that is totally acceptable to clinton and his admin.. he did not care what means were used, as long as he looked good
4. The changes in Medicare are going to be very expensive for many elderly like my mother in law. She's very healthy, but will pay the higher premiums anyway.
Medicare has been a disaster for a long long time. And may I remind you who has constantly "dipped" into the funds for "other" uses.. One hint.. it
was not George W. Bush's admin. I think it needs to be overhauled completely..
5. Thousands of people dead in Iraq. No weapons of WMD.
I dont buy this for one minute.. the "no WMD".. but beyond that.. Saddam slaughtered hundred's of thousands of innocent people over the years.. he should have been taken down in 1991. The people who try to capitalize on the war in Iraq for politcal gain, make me furious. I take the defense of Saddam to be just that.. you would rather he be in power,and have all those people be treated worse than any people in history since Hitler??? WE as Americans dont tolerate that and we should not! and this no WMD crap is just that. I dont care if he had them or not.. he needed to be gone and I am pleased we FINALLY had a President with the huevos to do it.
George W Bush is an honest man, he does not base his every move by the polls. He does what the thinks is right and has the guts to stick with it.. We need more of that kind in this country. We dont need another lying, cheating, tell you what I think you want to hear guy in the White House. I also find it interesting that all these democrats that cry the above party mantra (your points) cant follow it with.. I would have done...they have no bettter ideas, dont know what they would have done, are probably glad they were not in office at the time and base there entire election stragedy on "bush bashing"... they are talking heads ..no more, no crediblity, no sunstance, no nothing.. makes me sick and very :x
