Today our country is suffering from over half a million jobs lost this year alone, over 4,000 troops needlessly killed in Iraq, a reputation for torture and civil rights violations by the federal government, and a stagnant stock market casino.
Democratic control of Congress and the WH is a goal that I aspire to, not something that fearmongers should deprive us of.
That was funny, but you forgot the sarcasm tag. Some people may think you were being serious.
Don’t be so modest. Clinton was also responsible for the biggest bubble the country has known. The tech bubble wiped many an investor out or damaged their portfolios and retirement accounts irreparably.
Clinton also handed a recession to Bush, when he left. In addition, our power worldwide steadily and consistently was degraded by failures to respond to Al Queada attacks on the WTC, Yemen, Somalia, Kenya and countless other places.
Your love of socialism trumps your love of country.
What the hell are you smoking? DUmocrats caused the current situation we’re in.
The Republican Fisherman
Murry Mom, an ObamaZombie, was in a hot air balloon and realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, ‘Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.’
The fisherman consulted his portable GPS and replied, ‘You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and
100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.’
The trolling Obamazombie rolled her eyes and said, ‘You must be a Republican.’
‘I am,’ replied the man. ‘How did you know?’
‘Well,’ she answered, ‘ everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me’
The man smiled and responded, ‘You must be a Democrat.’
‘I am,’ replied the Obamazombie. ‘How did you know?’
‘Well,’ said the man, ‘You don’t know where you are or where you are going.
You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem.
You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now you think it’s my fault.’
“Democratic control of the Senate, House of Representatives, and White House is what our once great country enjoyed from Bill Clinton’s election in 1992 until the Gingrich takeover in 1995.”
We ‘enjoyed’ a tax hike, attacks on gun owners, attacks on free speech, and the threat of the takeover of 1/7th of our economy and the threat of a loss of freedom and choice in the healthcare arena.
The threat sent the stock market reeling and the economy sputtering.
It took Newt Gingrich to save us.
we dont need nor want to return to those dark days again.
“Today our country is suffering from over half a million jobs lost this year alone,”
You can thank the Pelosi Congress for that.
” over 4,000 troops needlessly killed in Iraq,”
Bashing our military, sigh.
” a reputation for torture”
A reputation for slanders against our govt by Democrats
” and civil rights violations by the federal government,”
Obama’s Missouri thugs want to shut down people right to speak out, yes...
” and a stagnant stock market casino. “
The stock market was doing fine until the Democrats took over Congress. Their threats to raise taxes and waste money spooked investors and businesses and made the economy worse.
STOP OBAMA’S SOCIALISM
Just for the record:
During the election cycle of 1992, Bill Clinton hammered Bush the elder relentlessly for having caused the “worst economy of the last 50 years.” But in fact, as CNN’s Brooke Jackson subsequently reported in 2001: “Three days before Christmas 1992, the National Bureau of Economic Research finally issued its official proclamation that the recession had ended 21 months earlier. What became the longest boom in U.S. history actually began nearly two years before Clinton took office.”
By the same token, Clinton is generally perceived as having a stellar economic record during his own presidency, in spite of the fact that the economy was already starting to decline during the last year of his term after the stock market crashed in March 2000. According to a report by MSNBC: “The longest economic expansion in U.S. history faltered so much in the summer of 2000 that business output actually contracted for one quarter, the government said Wednesday in releasing a comprehensive revision of the gross domestic product. Based on new data, the Commerce Department said that the GDP — the country’s total output of goods and services — shrank by 0.5 percent at an annual rate in the July-September quarter of 2000.”
When GW Bush correctly warned the American voters about the nation’s declining economic performance during the 2000 presidential campaign, the same Democrats who had loudly criticized his father for “the worst economy in fifty years” had no problem at all accusing him of “talking down the economy.”
It’s interesting to note how unpopular Bill Clintoon was his first two yrs. with that Demonrat Congress. Not to mention that Bush 41 handed over an economy that was already growing and not near the recession painted. Add the Republican takeover in ‘94 along with the Republican Governors, Legislatures, mayors(Giuliani) and Clintoon had a lot of Republicans to thank. Republicans stopped his large socialist agenda and created the myth. But let us not forget that Clintoon found Kosovo to be this great threat and let Osama Bin Laden thrive to where it led to 9/11.
Most of the economic gains of the 90s started after Republicans took control in 2005, especially so if you measure from when the effects of the recession had been negated.
If you look at the performance of the economy, comparing 1993-1994 and 2007-2008 to the period from 1995-2006, it will be clear that 1995-2006 were great years, and the combined 1993-1994 and 2007-2008 sucked.
It appears that who is President doesn’t matter much, but having Republicans in control of the house was much better for our country than having Democrats in control of the house.
Democratic control of the Senate, House of Representatives, and White House is what our once great country enjoyed from Bill Clinton’s election in 1992 until the Gingrich takeover in 1995. The Democrats’ efforts resulted in the greatest prosperity the world has ever known, including over 23 million new jobs in just 8 years.
The economy was in recovery when Clinton was elected, and the growth rate of the GDP when he was sworn in was 2.9 percent.
Two years later, when Gingrich was handed the gavel, the GDP was down to 0.9 percent, almost two-thirds. The Democrat Party had squeezed the vitality out of the recovery with ill-advised tax hikes, and it took the Gingrich congress to balance the budget. The market took off after that.
The Democrat Party played no role in the prosperity enjoyed since the first Reagan term through today, other than to obstruct it when the controlled the economy.
In fact, they portend the same ruinous Democrat prescription if this nation is foolish enough to hand them the trifecta in two weeks.
Doubtful they will, for the reasons outlined above.
Republicans will kill your Children!!!!!!
I AM MURRYMOM
