Is it O.K. with you if I go home for a meal and a shower?

[MurryMom]

Please give me 5 examples of any policy Clinton/Gore that were directly responsible for the run up in the Dow.

The Clinton-Gore economic package of 1993 included a tax increase on the richest 2% of taxpayers; a tax reduction for several million in the lowest brackets; and reductions in spending in many federal budgets. Not a single Repukie voted for Clinton's package, and Steve Forbes even recommended that readers of his rag invest in Japan to avoid the economic debacle he felt was certain to follow.

The result was the greatest prosperity in U.S. history. Repukies frustrated by Dumbya's failures call it the "Clinton Bubble" but if the Dems were still in charge as they were in 1993 we wouldn't have all the problems little Dumbya has saddled the country with.

In Oct 1994 the CBO released its mid-session review of the Clinton economic policy. Compared to its January 1993 forecast, issued before Clinton's program was enacted, the current CBO forecast showed deterioration across the board. By 1997, every major economic indicator would continue to get worse than it would have been had Bill Clinton done nothing. Unemployment would be higher, inflation would be higher and real economic growth would be lower.

Clinton knew as much about the economy as he did about foreign policy - zip.

Your post effectively calls both of those Repukie Bozos "hypocrites and liars". At least we agree on something!

Not at all! Rushbo and W have just neglected the time lag associated with who is in the Whitehouse. Economic cycles are initiated years in advance of who is in the Whitehouse when the boom actually occurs. Clinton enjoyed the fruits of Reagan's Cold War victory. My statement merely indicates that that Clinton had nothing to do with the economic boom in the 90's and now Bush is reaping the drought created during the Clinton years. Instead of billions of dollars being spent in the military-industrial complex, real goods and services were produced during those Clinton years. Clinton did not foster economic development during his reign so we have the recession we now find ourselves in. This downturn is soley due to Clinton's lack of leadership and his poor ethics which bled over into corporate America.

LOL! I have a hunch that even if I explained it to you, you still would be unable to comprehend the inconsistency between the 2 adjacent sentences quoted above.

Hardly! I'm surprised your head didn't explode when you read them. They are entirely consistent with the time lag in economic cycles which I mentioned earlier in my post. It is rocket science and I just happen to be one, honey!

That was pretty good!!

"Four and eight years after the Dixiecrats staged their national walk-out, Adlai Stevenson tapped the segregationist Senator John Sparkman of Alabama as his candidate for vice president."

One minor error in the article that even MurryMom missed. In 1956 Adlai Stevenson tapped the pro-civil rights Estes Kefauver of Tennesee as his running mate.

"A majority of Blacks will not support a party that is not in favor of Affirmative Action in its current form of race-based quotas."

Absolute BULL-honkey, my FRiend!!

"A large percentage of the Black middle-class works for some level of government -- are they going to be in favor of reducing the size of government?"

Of course they will, if we are successful in demonstrating how it improves their lives!! Black folks are simply White folks with a slight amount more pigment in their skin...and a chip on their shoulder that the RATs put there!!

"The biggest difference between the Dems and the Repukies is that most Dems are constantly trying to better the country as a whole, not worrying whether any particular problem like Lott's racist remarks will help or hurt their candidates' prospects in the next election."

I see you have been brainwashed. Please see my home page, OK? There is help available!

BTW,when all of Clinton's people were out lying for him, on his behalf, was that for the good of the country or for the good of party? Please think 'bout that one...

And whatever you do, DON'T DRINK THE KOOL-AID!!!

Best wishes, FBD

[Mudboy Slim]

Thanks, I gotta chuckle outta it, too...MUD

I love this quote, and since we have a brainwashed liberal Democrat in our midst, I just thought I would (gag) share.:

"As usual, the liberals offer a mixture of sound and original ideas.
Unfortunately, none of the sound ideas are original, and none of the original ideas are sound."
-- Harold Macmillan

Good luck in your quest for enlighlement, MurryMom, and remember what I said.
"DON'T DRINK THE KOOL-AID!"

Murrymom...Something tells me that you might be a sweet lady when you're not disparaging Conservatives.

"Seriously, Folks, Who DID Kill Ron Brown...and WHY?!!"

There are 5 houses in a row...the Englishman lives in the Red house...the Spaniard owns a dog...Coffee is drank in the Green House...the Russian drinks tea...The Green House is to the right of the Ivory House...the Old Gold smoker owns snails...Kools are smoked in the Yellow house...the man in the middle house drinks milk...the Norwegian lives in the first house...the Chesterfield smoker lives next to the man with a fox...The man who smokes Kools lives next to the man who owns a Horse...the Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice...the Japanese man smokes Parliaments...the Norwegian lives next to the Blue House.

Each man is of a different nationality, has one-colored house, one type of Pet, smokes one brand of smoke, and one drink.

Which man owns the Zebra?
Which man drinks water?

The first five FReepers to FReepMail the correct answer to me will win a "You Are Not Alone...FreeRepublic.com" bumper sticker and a signed copy of the never-been-released "Top Secret: Bootleg!!" audiocassette and a signed copy of CosmicBox's debut CD!! Then, YOU COULD BE included as Guests of Honor on an upcoming thread in which we rip Terry "The PUNK" McAuliffe a new one!!!

Let the games begin...MUD

"A large percentage of the Black middle-class works for some level of government -- are they going to be in favor of reducing the size of government?" Of course they will, if we are successful in demonstrating how it improves their lives!!

I'm talking about bottom-line economics. The average person is unlikely to take a position that will adversely affect his personal financial state.

For example, blacks in federal employment comprise 37% of the Dept of Education workforce, 33% of HUD, 27% of Dept of Labor, 21% at Treasury, etc. Nationwide, according to Dept of Labor blacks compose 15% of the state/local workforce, versus 10% of the private workforce. Tenured civil-service employees are not going to want to shift to the private sector

"A majority of Blacks will not support a party that is not in favor of Affirmative Action in its current form of race-based quotas." Absolute BULL-honkey, my FRiend!!

So, you think that blacks are going to favor eliminating a system that they benefit from, and which gives them a higher standard of living than they would have without it? Who's slinging the bull-honkey here?

[Mudboy Slim]

"The average person is unlikely to take a position that will adversely affect his personal financial state."

Newsflash: Guv'ment jobs don't pay squat, dude, and anybody who really wants to better themselves financially will flee said employment as soon as another, BETTER opportunity presents itself.

Black folks, like white folks, wanna lead productive, self-enriching lives and provide a good future fer their kids. Policies that treat the Black folks different than the White Folks or the Brown folks or the Yeller folks, well, they're counter-intuitive, ill-conceived and just dadburned indefensibly WRONG!!

BTW...Kevin, I caught a bit of you on H&C, dude...keep it comin' and always maintain that wonderful sense of humor!! You SLAUGHTERED that LeftyDOLT...I'd be awful surprised if he didn't wet hisself in feebly defending the Indefensible!!
