Gore Says Bush Economic Policies Should Be Dumped

That's right Alyboy, keep talking about how bad the economy is while Alan Greenspan tells us how it looks pretty good, considering. He did smack congress and tell them to watch the spending. Then he explained to your stoopid dem buddies that the tax cut was a very good thing and don't mess with it. And while the rest of us thinking people are concerned about keeping our country safe, you idiots blather on about the economy.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Vice President Al Gore on Saturday criticized President Bush's economic policies, saying they have squandered trillions of dollars of projected U.S. budget surpluses and ought to be "scrapped."

Speaking to a group of black members of the U.S. Congress, the remarks by Gore, who lost the 2000 presidential election to Bush, were part pep rally for Democratic candidates in the Nov. 5 congressional elections.

But his dual themes of Republican economic recklessness and disregard for the ailing Social Security ( news - web sites) retirement fund also may have been a preview of campaign stump speeches to come, if Gore decides to seek a rematch with Bush in 2004. [snip] Link, if you can stomach the rest of this thripe. (oh, pardon the pun.)

Lots of funny picture to go with this story!!

Rest assured there will be no kissing of the women of the Black Caucus. Albert doesn't like to kiss black women as evidenced during the 2000 election with both Oprah and Queen Latifa.

First, I just noticed this is from Reuters...they put quotation marks around the words "terrorist" and "freedom". Freeepin' postmodernists.

As to Al Gore, the story says one of his themes is going to be Republican "disregard for the ailing Social Security retirement fund". Would someone please tell me what the Dims have done, proposed, thought about or said to help the SS fund? Better yet, someone please tell me which Dem has ever ADMITTED that the Social Security fund is "ailing".
