[Clinton Crusader]

My mother called to tell me she saw this. I personally didnt. Im almost positive it was CNN.

He didnt really say this, did he?? :wow:

1. And look how good we were living in that myth!!!!

[Bark Bark Bark]

2. Why Shouldn't He?

Desperation is making Republiscum say crap FAR worse than that.

And all of it is easily dispelled to those with frontal lobes. Now Republiscum are just trying to stop the bleeding from their base core of idiot blindfaithers.

3. I don't know about Mr. Snow, but I sure do myth those days.

Bring back the Myth! Bring back the Myth! Bring back the Myth!

4. John Snow, John Snow? It rings a bell. Is that the John Snow who

had to retract his statements because he repeated false reports about alleged damage that the Clinton staff did to Air Force One and the White House when they made their exit?

[whistle]

5. I have no idea, but here are the facts........

[whistle]

12. Now here is a thread that supports John Snow's position.....

....<link> http://www.vnsfvetakerry.com/there_was_no_clinton_surplus,_just_a_deficit.htm

It's bullshit because Clinton inherited a totally screwed up economy and turned it around leaving Bush II and the republicans with a surplus and an solid economy. Then, for nine months Bush did nothing for the economy and it still showed a surplus for Fiscal 20001, until 9-11 at which point everything was openly turned toward military production and mobilization. Bush's big mistake for the middle class economy was huge tax breaks for the wealthiest 5% tax payers. The rest of us have been screwed.

WASHINGTON, Oct 13 (AFP) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry accused the Bush administration Wednesday of "callous disregard" for America's unemployed after a cabinet member reportedly dismissed the net loss of jobs as "myths."

The campaign jumped on a report in a community newspaper in the key midwestern of state of Ohio that quoted Treasury Secretary John Snow as defending President George W. Bush's record on jobs at a local barbecue on Tuesday.

"Claims like the one that Bush will be the first president to end a term with fewer jobs than when he started are nothing more than 'myths,' Snow claimed," wrote the 24,000-circulation Findlay Courier.

Snow said he was misquoted.
