Davis: Bush turning blind eye to ailing economy

I rest my case.

[RoseofTexas]

This is what you call the wimper of a very desparate RAT!

[farmfriend]

Looks to me like about half of the repliers to this thread never read the article!

That is normal.

[Grampa Dave]

You hatred of GW has no bounds. Now your insanity includes quotes from Gray Davis on CNN!

You need professional help and to increase your meds!

There would be basically no unemployment problem in America if California was not in the mix.

The reason California has high unemployment is Gray Davis, the man you are citing in your usual attacks against President Bush.

The following is not for you, as you are beyond hope with your hatred of President Bush. It for the others:

Mark Steyn: No real unemployment in America if not for California

The data below shows that there would be no new record unemployment in America if not due to California. I'm sure that the other 24 deficit/tax/spend states are contributing most of the rest of the unemployment stats.

California also has the noisiest political activists in the world, from the Marxist professors at Berkeley to the flabby nude feminists of Marin County to the Hollywood poseurs. But all of them were too busy denouncing the evils of the Bush terror to notice that their own backyard was falling apart.

Even now, Barbra Streisand is urging blacks and Jews to unite to defeat Bush, demonstrating the kind of shaky maths that got California into its present difficulties.

Even now, her fellow limousine liberals insist it's all the fault of "the Bush recession", though there's plenty of statistical evidence to suggest that if you sliced off California and floated it out into the Pacific there'd be no "Bush recession" at all.

Shorn of LaLaLand, in May America would actually have seen a net gain in employment - an extra 4,500 jobs - but then the monthly figures from California came in - another 21,500 layoffs - and drove the national figure down again.

There is no secret to the fact that the antis have all effectively joined forces. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, etc. Read any Rockwell/Buchanan/Rainmondo/Paleo/Anarchist thread. They all preach the same anti-Bush, anti-Republican, anti-war, pro-terror message. And they're damn quick to jump on the anti-Bush bandwagon at the slightest drop of any misinformation put out by the New York Times/Washington Post anti-America propaganda machine.

before you started your attack, why didn't you read what I had said later on in the thread:

to an small extent, yes. i think Bush could be doing more, but I feel the economy being the way it is now is not the fault of GWB.

thanks!

Thanks, Normal4me, I wasn't clear, but was really referring to this part, "huge tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans", and Susannah on post #56 addressed part of it.

This is such an effective charge by the left, repeated over and over, with seemingly little rebuttal from the administration spokesmen. The power of a lie repeated often enough makes it ring true. And no one knows who the wealthy are, except it ain't them!

I was sure this was Gov Dimbulb complaining!!

[SierraWasp]

Whut we had here... Wuz a failyure ta camyooicate!!! (or evun read the dang artickle)

Sum folks ya jus' can't reach.

[SierraWasp]

"Sum folks ya jus' can't reach."

I nose jus whutcha means!!! I tried, an I tried, butt ta no avayle... just like tawlkin ta quayle, they jus runs on anaway!!!

[Susannah]

Part of the tax breaks for the "rich" that the left complain about are the end of double-taxation of dividends.

This affects many retirees who have their pensions/IRA's tied to stocks that pay dividends. My mother, who pays no income taxes, will see her IRA benefit due to "dividend reinvests."

[bushfamfan]

Funny how the Demonrats would have cost us more with the spending they wanted to do rather than a tax cut which provides more tax payers when they are given a job by their "rich" employers. I hate the Demonrats and am sick of Republicans allowing those fiends to get away with their rhetoric that is same old, same old, no solution but to spend it away.

Re: The economy grew at 2.4%, unemployment claims were down, Bush's approval was at 60%./m

Thank you George W. Bush for ending the recession in 2001, and defeating 2 of our declared enemies in 18 months. WOOHOO !
