My family does take responsibility for making our own lives better, to the extent possible under a Republican Party dictatorship. During the Clinton-Gore years we all had jobs, during the Bush years all 4 of us lost at least one job. We've got money invested in the stock market, but feel lucky to break even now compared with nice returns in the 90's.
Sure the stock market reached its peak in 2000, but unemployment didn't start to turn down until after BushCo took over. Clinton didn't make mistakes like those of BushCo resulting in over 1750 dead Americans in Iraq. Clinton didn't try to scare old people into thinking their SS checks will stop arriving in the mail, that their health insurance will disappear, or that they are about to perish in a mushroom cloud or other nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.
Your post didn't identify anything Bush has done to make your life better, either. It's tough to defend bankrupt policies, isn't it?
MM, you've never seen a real dictatorship or you wouldn't sling that term around so loosely.
"During the Clinton-Gore years we all had jobs, during the Bush years all 4 of us lost at least one job. "
Well I lost my job during the Clinton watch. During the Regan, Bush I, watches I had a very good job. But instead of
bashing you, do consider, think dear person. Clintonn inherited a strong economy, had to do very little to protect it. It was built up starting in Ronny's watch, after a horrible depresion took it's toll on this country. Clinton did very little on his own initiative, but keep telling the American public how great things where. He is what is known by many as a horseshit artist. I have no other way of putting it in more polite terms. During his watch he started by seeing where he could with his demo goofs divert military spending funds to social programs. Reduce our militaries ability to maintain what it had to for national defense reasons. Clinton found his watch to had inherited a strong stock market and all that goes with it.
And on Clintons watch everything then started to go bad.
I sense you have little perspective in the many fields required to obtain a balanced view of just how things went down during the Clinton years. Do remember .........we still have American military in Bosnia. Clinton and his croonies had told us it would be a one year at most deal.
And your statements truly you are a socialist and most likely a democrate. Else you would not have written as you had. Our Constitution includes the premise that all are equal under the eyes of God and are endowed by their creator with certain rights, that amoung them is the right to pursue those things (such as the ability to find work) that lead toward happiness. There is no promise to take care of every person regardless of their ability to do so for thereself.
Show us a clear example of where our founding fathers had such a vision. Perhaps you dream of FDR?
Off your meds again?
Oh come on MurryMom you know as well as anyone else that the first term of any President is affected by the previous President.

Here let me help out your liberal mind with a word you are completley unfamiliar with Freedom,Freedom for you to be a liberal moron!Freedom for the Iraqi people means a more stable Freedom for my Family. Why do you hate America so? Why is it all about money for you? Freedom gives you the chance to earn more money and help the economy thrive.
I don't know how your Check from the government looks but mine from my private employeer is more on the takehome side because of hold your breath Bush tax-cuts. I know that the tax-cuts keep you and your liberal friends from buying keyboards with shift keys but I get to take more money home or invest more in my 401k.
What else has President Bush done for me? Well he has made me and many other people all over the world Respect the Presidency again. I know this is a shock to you but people like to respect thier leader and not think of him getting oral sex in his office or cheat on his wife,Or be a serial rapist People like a President that says he believes in God and mean it.You my liberal friend miss the point though I don't need the president or the Government to do ANYTHING for me except leave me alone and quit taking more than they do from my paycheck so liberals like you don't have to work, but can live off of me.
