"OUT!"
Aside from the utter destruction it would do to American society as we have come to know it over the last 200 years, wouldn't it be a hoot to see these two in the Oval Office?
You mean since 1791 when our Bill of Rights were ratified?
No, Little Boy Bush has already trampled over those.
Pick up a copy of the "Patriot Act" sometime and see what happened to our most basic, fundamental rights.
TAKE BACK THE GOP! |

But Kevin, these two were already in office for 8 years, and what happened? Everyone prospered.
You might as well start getting used to the idea of either an Obama or a Clinton White House in 2008. |

Seven?
You would have to have been to come anywhere close to thinking that Clinton's "drain the pool" tax increases did anything but hurt small businesses - which drive the economy of our nation.
I would take more of an opportunity to explain it to you but then again you could just ask a junior college economics student... |

Kevin --
You Bush boys have ZERO credibility on any economic matters. This looser has run up a bigger bill than all his predecessors combined.
Try another angle.
BRING BACK THE GOP! |

Kevin, I owned two small businesses in the eighties and nineties, unlike you who merely talked for a living. But enough about my superior contribution to the national economy, let's compare economic facts:
Debt Reduction Relative to GDP - the ratio of debt to GDP went down an average of 3.89 percent per year during the Clinton years, but has gone up an average of 0.94 percent per year during the Bush years.
Jobs - The number of jobs in the economy increased 2.38 percent per year under Clinton, but it has decreased 0.17 percent per year under Bush.
Jobs with Good Wages - new jobs created under Bush have generally paid worse than the jobs that have been lost. For example, from 2000 to 2003, the economy added 540,820 jobs in the lowest-wage quintile. Meanwhile, 451,440 jobs were lost in the middle quintile and 357,900 jobs were lost in the two highest quintiles.
Median Household Income - Median household income has fallen an average of 1.15 percent per year under Bush. It rose an average of 1.65 percent per year under Clinton.
Poverty Reduction - The number of Americans below the poverty line fell 2.29 percent annually in the Clinton years, but has since gone up 4.33 percent annually in the Bush years.

You lose, Kevin. |
