those of you that say Bush has done more of something than any other administration...etc..etc... back it up with facts....otherwise, I'm inclined to think you are just regurgitating something you heard on the Daily Show...or from Wolfy Blitzer....

The Bush administration has created strong economic growth and nearly 5.3 million new jobs in the last two and half years; the national unemployment rate has dropped to 4.6% -- that is lower than the average rate of the 1960s, 1970s, the 1980s and the 1990s; productivity is up and household net worth is at an all-time high.
The Democrat Party has a clear record when it comes to taxes.
In 2001, more than 71% of the congressional Democrats voted against cutting income tax rates. More than 90% of the Congressional Democrats voted against a bill that provided tax relief for married couples.
More than 71% of Democrats voted against a bill that would have put the death tax on the road to extinction. More than 71% of Democrats voted against a bill that doubled the child credit. In 2003, more than 96% of the Congressional Democrats voted against cutting taxes on dividends and capital gains.
And recently, during the budget debate, Democrats used the occasion to call for $173 billion in tax hikes and fee increases.

Try reading & stay away from the Communist News Network - CNN. Bush will go down in history as a great president, not the best but way above Clinton - get down on your knees honey.
President Clinton has done more, as has President Carter since leaving office than they ever did as president. Fearless, makes greatness - it also makes mistakes sometimes. At least he stands by his convictions whether you like it or not. I never listen to those shows but I read the liberal media & even they have to admit Bush's success once a while.

Facts? Lady I am living the facts in middle class America, and even if I was of a mind to pull out a book and spend hours debating a subject with you, it would be pointless. You already have made up your mind. you are a closed chapter and I have no time for your kind of politics. We spend too much time researching to make as few mistakes as possible while the world we are living in is sinking into the sunset. Wake up look around that should be the only fact you need to see. Sheesh!
