Use the libs argument against them. If they didn't pass this measure, we would have said the libs increased our taxes.

If AP got caught with their pants down and credited Bush with something the American people want, then good for us.

The AP was so focused on the war in Iraq that they didn't have time to spin the story. The same thing happened when we handed over authority to Iraq two days prior to the deadline. The press didn't have the time to spin the story and it caught them with their pants down again.

The MSM really kept this quiet didn't they?

Amazing how many left wing rats in Congress didn't fight this during an election year!

4 tax cuts in Bush's term. Desires to overhaul the system in his second.

NRST bump.

All the more reason to give Bush the MANDATE he requested in 2000.

Or change election day to April 16th.

I believe very strongly that April 15 (or thereabouts) should be the Federal election day. If it were possible to do this, I believe it would be a stroke of genius on behalf of the Republicans to get it done.
