President Bush, trying to regain his political footing ahead of this year's critical midterm elections, asserted Friday "the difference is clear" between the two parties on how to sustain the U.S. economic recovery.

"If you want the goverment in your pocket vote Democrat," Bush said. "If you want to keep more of your hard earned money vote Republican."

and if you want your country to go into debt for the next millenium, vote republican...

:mad:

I saw a chart that showed, under Bush the stock market's value is in minus territory, under Clinton, it was plus 19%, the highest EVER. Republicans are blithering idiots, apparently, who can't see who is REALLY good for their bottom line.

try again, asswipes.

And it's all been Bush-endorsed.

cost of a wide swathe of goods and services...

People know. They may be dullards, some of them, but they see how much is coming in, and how much is going out of their household budgets under BushCo.

Heating bills alone have crippled many!

And try to feed me that BS agian.

hand-in-hand with Republican administrations.

Reagan - deficits
Bush 1 - deficits
Clinton - surplus
Bush 2 - biggest deficits ever

and go to the next Republican convention.

or grandgrandgrandchildren will pay... wait...

B*$hCo believes this world will end with them... (Wrapture)

"One paycheck away from the poorhouse" Republics!

Or you won't have any money to keep.

talking about jobs, and they all think offshoring is just peachy.

I also haven't heard anybody at all talking about WAGES but the 87% of people out here in TV land who realize the minimum needs to go up--a LOT.

The only people who have enough money in their pocket are millionaires and corporations.

I had always heard that the stock market and the economy generally fares better under the Democrats, but saw a chart that proves it. Republicans are greedy assholes that care nothing about anything but MONEY. They can act all fucking pious about morals, but they ignore Jesus' feelings about helping the poor, when they worship the almighty God of money.

Republicans act like Democrats steal from taxpayers with social programs like Welfare but realistically those cost nothing compared to what his wars of choice and tax cuts for the rich are costing our economy.

Rp

"Republicans will cut your taxes"

"Liberal Media bias"

and whatever else.

Yeah okay how is Rove such a "genius" again?

I think they're getting it bit by bit, if you look at the polls. But will it be enough?

then vote Republican! :eyes:

That should be our counterpunch. And it's true.

I know one idiot that STILL supports Bush simply because he got a tax cut.

Jeez?!? How can you stand to be around someone so dimwitted?

The increase in gasoline prices and property taxes alone probably offset any tax cut. I know it did for me.

Put it toward new tires and shocks on your car, because the roads aren't in good repair.

Buy a home security system, because the cops are so badly underfunded, they don't come out to investigate house break-ins.

Hire a tutor for your kids, because they aren't learning much in a classroom with 45 other kids.

Get yourself a lab to test your food, because the FDA doesn't have the resources to make sure your food is wholesome and healthy.

Stock up on air filters and breathing masks because the air isn't fit for human consumption.

Boost your donations to the local food bank and homeless shelters, because demand is going through the roof.

That's what you want to spend your hard-earned money on, isn't it? And isn't it laughable to hear the phrase "hard earned" from Chimpy McCokespoon, the spoiled frat boy?

send your "hard earned" money into the hands of Republican cronies to do a half-assed job for twice the amount of money all to be funneled to CEO's and figure head board members....

Really we're not. We're giving it to Halliburton so you don't have to.

vote Republican

Vote democrat.

with lower federal taxes, the states no longer receive as much money back . we've seen state and local taxes raised to make up the difference. i guess they don't think we've noticed all kinds of extra federal taxes popping up on say, our phone bill.. they are taxing us for what they want to fund - they're merely using a different route. but we all know that they aren't bothering to find a way to help with medical insurance, and needed social programs.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Hey George, I'd rather have a Democrat in my pocket than a Republican like you up my ass!

I think he meant:

"If you want us to spend your money in useless endeavors like Iraq vote Republican."
"If you want to continue to see the rich get richer and the poor get poorer vote Republican."
"If you want to watch the trade deficit with China increase vote Republican."
"If you want more lies, war and death vote Republican."

DOWN WITH BUSH INC!

These clowns need to get sober.

They have successfully co-opted a number of hot button emotional issues like war, terrorism, gay marriage, drugs, abortion and turned them into Republican talking points. Anyone with half a brain can see that each and every one of those problems are solved more efficiently by a Democratic leadership. Nevertheless, people vote for "tax relief" above all other. The other crap is just window dressing to make them feel less guilty about being greedy.

if you want to live like a republican, vote DEMOCRATIC!

Love ya, Melvin!:loveya: :hi:

than the one I inhabit now. He was the first person to voice out loud to me back in early 2001 the fact that our election of 2000 was stolen, and that Dumbya was "selected" rather than elected. Everyone else in our republican dominated company rejoiced in the fact that a fine, upstanding moral family man could finally take over the White House.:puke: He was one of the few people with whom I could talk about what I perceived to be the truth of the events of 9/11, i.e., that what I SAW on TV that day was two controlled demolitions, and not two spontaneous collapses. "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" Now that I have relocated to another city and another job, I really miss our political discussions. Melvin, if you're out there reading DU, HI and take care, my friend. :toast:

the truth is too painful for republicans. Is this like frist sending out fundraising letters saying the Democrats got into 8 trillion $$$$ debt?

I can't afford to fill up my gas tank, grocery and milk prices are high, jobs that pay decently are disappearing and/or being sent overseas. Yeah, everything's just jolly. Whatever you say, King Moran.

well, some people are when it comes to ability to see throught the RW baloney. But most people are catching on.

"This only applies to you if you're already an obscenely rich white man. Otherwise, we will fuck you over."

enough money. After that point, THEN I'll be concerned about taxes.

vote republican

Now we're up to nearly $9 trillion in debt.

I know rethugs are afraid of "fuzzy math" (aka: reality), but don't they know that the cabal's policies have screwed them over?
They've got to be feeling the pinch personally -- between prices at the pump, local taxes, alternative minimum tax, etc.

Later in the AP article, there is a comment about both Bush and Cheney returning to their 2004 campaign themes in speeches today. Seems like another frightening example of clinging stubbornly to, to, to, what, faulty illusions? My bumper sticker may say DON'T FALL FOR IT AGAIN!

"What's in it for me?" vote Repukelican.

that's it - greed and corruption the essensce of the republican party

unless your children get really sick, unless you need social
assistance to get you through your temporary hard time - cause
with this thinking, when people have hard times, they'll be
no safety net..and people always have hard times in life at
some point.

Starting with Reagan, it is well below the line until Clinton makes an appearance and we have prosperity. We all know what happens after he leaves.....DISASTER!!! Bush's assertion is certainly NOT clear!

BS again.

Just as the cost of Vietnam buckled the knees of America's economy in the '70s and early '80s, we will (already are, in fact) suffer crippling setbacks in the years ahead because of the exorbitant expense of the PNAC wehrmacht.

edited to conform to syntax of other posts' subjects in this thread

the last six years have been an economic disaster....
and it is the republicans reponsibility or rather fault

And no republican administration I've ever experienced has been any better.

If this is what the republicans have to say for themselves...
then they are totally full of shit. No real surprise.

Shock & awe.


My grandchildren's grandchildren will be paying on the debt this irresponsible idiot has rung up.

Longer hours, less pay - if you're lucky.

:puke:

on expensive everything (medicare, fuel, insurance, credit-card, wars, etc),

vote Republican.

Their tax-cuts do not offset they rising costs of living for the not-so-very-rich (which happens to be most of us).
