So... most indications point to a booming American economy.
Why is it that the economy was all the liberals could talk about, back when Bush took office and the economy was bad - but now they refuse to say a word about it?
This, more than anything else, typifies why more Republicans will likely be voted into office in the Fall of 2006. Democrats whine and complain. Republicans just produce. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/05/01/D8HB1PKO2.html http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0501/p01s01-usec.html |

We have a strong economy in general so hopefully even Bush can't mortally wound it. Every citizen is in debt $30K using our current national debt (thanks Bush, how is that war going?).

1. Republican policies have made us WEAK militarily, diplomatically, economically, environmentally, and in homeland security.
2. ‘Dirty Skies Initiative’ or ‘Leave No Tree Standing Act’
3. Corporations are deserting America; not paying fair share of taxes yet reaping benefits.
Three strikes your out at the old ball game!

A complete failure to correctly identify what the country is ACTUALLY focusing on. A tactic of trying to look at ONE factor, and conclude that the public will dislike democrats because of it, instead of broaching the ACTUAL QUESTION of whether or not it is the democrats or republicans that the public dislikes more...
It's kind of like looking at the grass, seeing green grass, and then assuming that the garage must also be green because of that...
... while completely refusing to look up and LOOK at the color of the garage...
And for the record, it would seem that the public is a LOT MORE interested in GAS PRICES these days than in your claims of a booming economy...
But feel free to ignore that as you please...

Points: 21,485, Level: 92 | Level up: 93%, 865 Points needed | | Okay, let me see if I've got this straight...
- Almost all leading economic indicators, and economists, agree that the American economy is booming.
- On the other hand, a few of the liberal cry-babies on DefindingTheTruth.com say the economy is going to hell in a hand-basket.
Whom shall I believe? Hmmmmmmm, that's a mystery... | |

Maybe you wanna take a look at the numbers yourself dude. Instead of blindly believing what "leading economists" say. 3 Trillion dollar debt. Is that an important indicator?
But in one way you are right. some americans ARE getting richer.. Too bad its not the people who actually need it. But i bet cheney really truly needed another couple of million bucks ( life really is hard on millionaires these days no?)

Points: 16,761, Level: 82 | Level up: 83%, 89 Points needed | | yeah it's booming, I now have to pay for my kids to ride the school bus, pay to be in the band, to play sports. Insurance premiums went up so that raise I just got almost covers that. Gas is $3.00 a gallon (at least my commute is short) Where would I be if it wasn't booming.....

Can't you guys even come up with something that's original or more creative than that? | |
