Dow -1000, Gas & Oil +30%, Heath care +64%, Illegal War Kills - in 4 years
I don't believe a thing this guy says, nobody trusts him - why would anybody - even a Republican support this numbskull?

Record deficits & discretionary wars are totally anti-Republican party - how can they support this liar?

If business is so pro-Republican, why is the Dow down 1000 points since Dumbya got into office almost FOUR years ago?

Not only do I pay MUCH more for health care, but I won't go to the doctor because the stress of dealing with non-paying insurance companies makes me more sick than I was before. What is the current occupant of the WH doing to help solve this impending disaster?

Why fight wars in the Middle East for the best interest of our country (it wasn't WMD) if crude oil prices go up 100% anyway?

What is this joker doing? How can he get any votes? If your team is really lousy, you can find another team to root for - or go fishing or something. For any lurking republicans - why root for a loser?

1. As usual, they've framed the discussion:
For most of these four years, they've had people thinking like this:
1) It's all disruption based on terrorism
2) It would all be much worse if democrats were in charge. Because the terrorists would win, yada yada...

It worked, mostly because the news industry didn't put much energy into evaluating how well the facts matched the rhetoric. Happily, that appears to be changing.

2. I know. When Johnson left in 1968 the Dow was higher....
the same can be said for Eisenhower, Reagan, and Bush I. This ding dong has a stock market lower than when he came in, less jobs than when he came in, higher healthcare costs, bankrupted the Country, ignored the threat of terrorists, and one half of the Country still want this ding dong?!?! :wtf:

4. "We can't let the terrorists change our way of life - then they would win"
Um, Bush, when you blame terrorism you are saying "yup, they won" and YOU are doing everything in your power to make sure we know they have changed our lives for good!

Bush is a terrorist based on his past statement about letting them win by changing our lifestyles!

By your own definition Mr. Bush, YOU are the lead terrorist in the free world. Shame your brainwashed followers can't see this.
