What I'd like to know is: when will the President and others begin telling voters that he needs 60+ like-minded Senators in order to fulfill the promised reforms, etc. !

The Dim's hatred for Pres. Bush is so strong as to cause them to be illogical.

I have been saying those excact words for years!! about my very own dear Mother in law. she has become increasingly illogical about our President in these past months.she always has been illogical as she is a socialist but the past few months shes fallen over the edge.

I'm with you- I run a vending route. My business has always been good, but in the last year it's gone nowhere but up- if it keeps building at this rate, I'll have to ask my boss to split off some of my route just so I can keep up (which would be a shock to him- I"ve spent three years saying "give me more work!" :) Even raising our prices substantially twice over the past three years hasn't slowed things down.

No doubt the Democrat strategists are crying in their beer over this good news ;-).

[JimRed]

This bunch will attempt anything for a short term gain, and if it appears to them, messing with the economy a few months prior to an election, all the better.

It's letter to the editor time. We need to publicize this so people see it happen as it happens, not after the fact.

Dems keep calling on Bush to admit his mistakes and apologize for fighting terrorism in the ways he deems most effective, in which judgment I agree.

But, when will Democrats admit Reaganomics has worked for over 20 years, though it paused in 1990 after a 1987 market pullback when Greenspan raised the Fed Funds rate to 10.5% to force inflation to "0", before going on to create 21 million jobs beginning in 1991 when Bush41 was president. Clinton's tax hikes had nothing to do with it. He simply didn't muck up the surging economy he inherited.

Clinton is to Hoover as Bush43 is to Roosevelt: both Bush43 and FDR inherited a suffering economy. However, because of FDR's tax hikes, it took 5-6 years before employment made a rebound in 1937 as the country mobilized for war. Bush43 gets my vote for pulling the country out of his inherited recession in record time by mid 2001.

I understand why Democrats voted against every economic stimulus bill and tax cut proposed -- because if the economy made a comeback, their goose was cooked as John Podhoretz describes so well.

What I don't understand is why certain Republicans like Chaffee, Snowe, Voinovich, McCain and Specter stood in the way of stimulating the economy so it would produce jobs. They have a lot of explaining to do. Go Toomey!

[My2Cents]

I'm going to use this quote too...Ping for later.

[CyberAnt]

"Indeed, the continuing focus on 9/11 and its aftermath only helps remind voters of Bush's greatest strength"

I agree they will need lots of Maalox - this sentence says it all. It's just another misunderestimation of the President.

[votelife]

the Republicans you mentioned are liberals. They don't want Bush's conservative approach to work.
