“”"”"the usual nonsense of those who believe that the GOP under Bush has led this nation to greatness. check out and see what your homes are now worth; check the deficit; check the state of our military; check job loss; check inflation and gAs prices and on and on and on…”"”"”"
Really don’t know if Bush has “led us to greatness,” but his harshest oponents would lead us to humiliation. It’s funny to hear critics of Republicans going on about the deficit like they themeselves believe in fiscal responsiblity. The housing crisis is in part the fault of greedy fools who bought a 500K house when they could only afford a 350K one, and homes in general have been grotesquely over-valued for decades. For a military under serious strain, it is doing an incredibly good job under the circumstances and constraints, and the critics who go on about “the state of the military” only intend to gut it further so they can use the money to bail out irresponsible home-owners and create giant pork-barrel projects to bribe voters with. Our unemployment levels — even with “job loss” — are way lower than those in Europe. The low inflation rates we’ve enjoyed for two decades were due to Republican-led economic policies. The higher inflation rates are due to a Democrat-led Congress’s stupid act of encouraging the turning of grain into fuel instead of food. The higher gas prices are because — instead of drilling for more domestic oil, of which there is plenty, and allowing the creation of more refinery capacity — we’re trying to run our cars on corn.
And, by the way, at no point did you come out and say that these were good reasons to elect Obama. Is therre something else you want to share with us?
