Can Bush Be Beaten


Recommended Posts

daniel, I think a more appropriate view would be that the terrorist attack of 9.11 has turned a currect account surplus into a deficit. A billion or two or five per week is chump change when considered in terms of a trillion dollar economy.

Also, note the CBO latest has us returning to a surplus in seven years at current expenditure levels. And this is the usual static projection which does not consider an improving economy or any effect of the tax cuts. Candidly, I think all of the politicians are blowing smoke when they claim political acts have significant economic effects. The only acts measured to have effected the economy these last fifty years are taxes. The amount of money taken by the government, up or down, is the only action by the government which shows economic results.

Bushmust go - political slogans are not discourse, can't you do better than that?

Hello, Whistler, I question your conclusion. If we are hit again prior to the election, I have no doubt the media and the ten dwarves will insist that it is Bush's fault but for nine of the ten, this is a loosing argument.

They have gambled there will be no attack and have run on an anti-war platform - if there is an attack, they are history.

Clark is the one possible exception but he has started badly by being cute - attempting to fudge his statements to appeal to the Dean crowd is a loosing proposition, he can't take votes away from the Far Left Poster Boy Dean. I expect his handlers to slap him into shape as a "centrist", a serious Vice Presidential candidate and as "God's Gift" to Hillary. Expect a Hillary/Clark ticket and this changes the equation to a significant degree.

A Hillary/Clark ticket is a very serious alternative to Bush and with almost complete media support assured in advance, the only possible salvation for the Democrats. This would make it a very serious contest which could go either way depending upon outside events.

So you still think Iraq was tied to 9-11? Earth to FastNed. Earth to FastNed. The war on terror is being held in Afghanistan in which Bush got international support. Iraq was a personal vendetta - payback for his father's failure.

He would have gotten into Iraq with or without 9-11. His case for going in was full of holes and wouldn't even stand up in any American court of law and the international community knew this.

Except for Britain, his only support were from countries who were economically tied to US aid.

Even Bushie himself admitted that Iraq was not linked to 9-11.

That means his deficit was his own doing.

It's also funny how you would consider a billion or two chump change. Right wingers in Canada would have heads roll when that kind of money is thrown around.

Daniel,

Finally, someone who has paid close attention to what's going on.

Don't you find it difficult to believe that half of these people are still clueless after the facts.

Bill Marr said on Larry King one night, "This president has kept popularity by people not paying attention."

However, it looks as if it is finally dawning on some because his approval rating has dropped to an all time low as of today and for the 1st time, shown he is beatable.

Nuclear,

Evidently you forgot about the Right Wing's hang up on the costly investigation into M. Lewinsky and attacks.........don't fool your self to think it's 1 sided.

At least M. Lewinsky did not cost American Lives, Billions and billions into deficit, and nearly 3 million lost jobs!
