Democrats yesterday downplayed the strongest quarterly economic growth in 19 years, refusing to give President Bush credit and stressing still-lagging job creation, while Republicans gloated over the news.

"President Bush has compiled the worst economic record since the Great Depression, and it is going to take a lot more than one quarter of growth to clean it up," said Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean in a statement.

Learn to lose with dignity, Howard. You need the practice for next November.

The dem's dementia is showing - they completely disregard the financial ramifications of 9/11. I think I'll have to start referring to them as damocrats.

"Democrats have offered a better approach to jobs and economic growth."

A better approach? What? When? What better approach? Raise taxes AND raise entitlement spending?

Democrats yesterday downplayed the strongest quarterly economic growth in 19 years since Reagan won 49 states.

I will continue to post this anytime Howard Dean is mentioned...

[freeperfromnj]

Just more proof that they'd rather have the economy go down the tubes and let the American people suffer than say even one positive thing about this President. It's really sickening.

Seems like Ronald Reagan was in office then. Tax cuts then, tax cuts now, economy grows.

Now, what don't the dumbocRATS understand??

The left cannot handle the truth. Next question please.

"Democrats have offered a better approach to jobs and economic growth."

Really? Just when did a stinking Democrat ever offer to cut taxes?

[ClearCase_guy]

Growth for last quarter: 7.2%.
Growth for next quarter: 5% (?)

Democratic Talking Point: Growth decrease of 2.2% in one quarter is the greatest crash since Herbert Hoover!!!!!

The only major differfence between all the 'rat candidates now is what flavor Kool-Aid to drink.

Zell Miller is not running. Therefore, you are correct.

"[Mr. Bush has] the worst record on job creation since Herbert Hoover," Mrs. Pelosi said. "Mr. President, where are the jobs?"

This is a losing strategy for the dems because the EMPLOYED MASSES only listen to this crap when the economy really is bad. They are pandering to a very small constituency here, in light of the recent economic news, IMHO.

They are pandering to a very small constituency here

If the Dems keep talking like that, they will lock in 6% of the vote. Well, maybe 5.5% of the vote. Wait ... 5% of the vote. No, no, figures by fall of 2004 indicate 4.5% of the vote. Then again ...

[highnoon]

Democrats: It's all Bush's fault....wait, no, not this time....uuhhh....Give me another cup of melon cherryliscious Kool Aid.

Obviously, the demoBaathists are worried since they will be job huntung in the private sector next year. Perhaps a jobless recovery isn't so bad after all.

Oh, and while Nancy was off representing Mexico City on the immigration issue, the number of new jobless claims declined for the fourth consecutive week.

ROTFLMAO!

This is SO fun watching them try to spin this.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, however, claimed that "Democrats have offered a better approach to jobs and economic growth."

And that would be with more taxes and Government programs, Nancy.

It probably really makes you mad that most of this growth was in the private sector.
