You've done some excellent work here. Bookmarked and action taken. I'm a big believer in letters to the editor and write often, although the liberal newspaper I target don't publish very often.

This is the talking points for the "attack Bush" crowd. I hope they stay on this foolish track. Their facts are there, yet incomplete. I do not understand how they intend to resonate with the swing voter. The overtone of every point is "Bush is Bad". But what is their plan?

These idiots have learned how to fight as partisans. They have learned how to defeat their "opponent". They do not have a clue as how to win. Obscurity is their destination.

George Bush has presided over the first job-losing presidency since Herbert Hoover. During his tenure, we have lost more than 3 million jobs. However, George Bush clearly doesn't see this as much of a problem because,

Oh you gotta love that. I didn't know Bush was responsible for the actions of the Democratic Governor of my state who has raised taxes on business, threatened to take them over and raised the minimum wage. What marooooons. This is going to be fun.

Funny that they don't mention two other points of Bush's gross fiscal irresponsibility:

$15 Billion for AIDS in Africa
$400-$800 Billion prescription drug plan.

To whom it may concern:

I am writing to warn you that there is a coordinated attempt to have Democratic Party talking points published in a number of the nations’ newspapers and magazines this week. While every citizen has a right to their own opinion, merely copying and pasting talking points is a waste of everybody’s time and detracts from the goal of the Letters to the Editor section: to express PERSONAL, INDIVIDUAL opinions.

Please be on the lookout for any Letters to the Editor that contain the following talking points. If published, they will hardly be unique and will be mere duplicates of letters in many other newspapers. Here are the talking points that are being circulated by NotGeniuses.com. It is also worthwhile to note that, as documented by the Washington Post in this article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A47852-2003Jul25&notFound=true), people who send such Letters to the Editor have a history of acting violently towards and abusing journalists and editors. Thank you for your time.

· George Bush has presided over the first job-losing presidency since Herbert Hoover. During his tenure, we have lost more than 3 million jobs. However, George Bush clearly doesn't see this as much of a problem because, when given the opportunity to create about 75 new jobs, he outsourced them to India.
· The projected deficit for this year is upwards of $455 billion (source: OMB). Remember the surpluses we had under Clinton? The Cato Institute, hardly a liberal outfit, calls George Bush "the mother of all big spenders". In fact, George W. Bush's father said that "there is no practice more dangerous than that of borrowing money". Why hasn't his son listened?
· The unemployment rate has passed 6%, with 8.8 million Americans out of work. To compare, under Bush, the economy has lost an average of 69,000 jobs a month. Under Clinton, the economy gained an average of 239,000 jobs per month. Which record do you prefer?
· The Fed has begun wondering about deflation, something not spoken of since the Great Depression.
· Bush has done nothing to help the situation. His tax cuts have so bankrupted the Government that long term interest rates went up 1% since June, a shift to be expected when record deficits are being run, but one that is unwanted in a recovery.
· Further, his Tax Cuts, which have been packaged as stimulative, do nothing to help the economy in the short term. They are set to kick in primarily in the future, and they target the wealthy and those with stocks, the classes of people least likely to quickly spend the money.
· The States are running record deficits. In normal times, the Federal Government would aid them, but this time, only an emergency $20 billion (to be distributed among all 50) was included in the budget, and only because the Democrats insisted on it.

Well it looks like our local "liberal" newspaper was hit today with a letter from one of these trolls. Unfortunately most readers will take all this garbage as gospel truth...between this crap and Molly Irvins, it's no wonder they only elect democrats in our area of Texas and of course, the one republican elected to office is the traitor Ratliff. AND the other day our paper carried a story on the front page about his threatening to resign because of the way his peers were behaving...give me a break...makes me long for my former home state (Louisiana)...at least we knew which rock our politicians rolled out from under...I did send a letter to the editor to alert them about this but of course my letter was not printed...and I won't hold my breath hoping that it will be printed tomorrow or the next day or the day after...
