JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YA THINK YOU CAN STAND?

[Stage1]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey folks.......facts are facts!!
This has to make you think a little bit, if not, then keep your blinders on!
 
George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years.  The first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
            1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
            2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
            3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
            4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
            5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations o'seas, living large!...

 

But American's wanted 'CHANGE'!   So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress & yep--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the PAST YEAR:
            1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
            2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
            3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
            4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by 12 Trillion dollars & prices are still dropping!!!!
            5) At least 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
            6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another  low~~11,100--
            $2.5TRILLIONDOLLARS  HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR  STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!

                 
YEP , IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE!...AND WE SURE AS HELL GOT IT!!!....NOW  OBAMA, the DEM'S CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT--AND THE  POLLS SAY HE'S GONNA BE 'THE MAN'--CLAIMS HE'S GONNA REALLY GIVE US CHANGE!!....JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YA THINK YOU CAN STAND???!!!!???

I love the last paragraph....

"Today, the New Direction Congress..."

  The everybody's fault but my own is a theme for the republicans.  What your seeing is the result of 7 1/2 years of catering to lobbyist and big business   unrestrained spending of bad policies and bad politics.  Even the talking heads of the right wing, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly talk about how disappointed they are in the mismanagement of the republicans in the government.  If you think that magically when the Democrats took the majority, which they very barely have thanks to Joe Lieberman,  that the country suddenly went downhill, then you are very naive.

Did we forget that the Republican's candidate got us out of Clinton's debt?

Really? Just the republicans?

Wow, and here I thought that the Democrats were just as good at passing the blame--sort of like you just did in your post.

Huh?

[angelsandair]

Your stats are bogus.

Actually, it's pretty much with right on. If we still had a republican congress, gas would probably be back at $1.50-$2.50. Only reason the Republican congress left with gas at 2.10 was the crisis Katrina.


The American people got what they deserved and they're suffering for it. Congrats to them.

  The everybody's fault but my own is a theme for the republicans. 

And the Democrats them is the 'Cut and Run' tactic. I'd rather have 'Everyones fault but my own' than 'Cut and run' atleast I got the balls to blame it on someone other than myself.

[midnight Target]

atleast I got the balls to blame it on someone other than myself.

double huh?

[Donzo]

Your stats are bogus.

Being that I assume you are intelligent and would not just throw a short rebuttal like that without doing some research, could you point out what was bogus about his stats?

i don't disagree with anything you're saying..but unless i'm missing something..and i may well be........

4.5% to 5% is only .5% increase

Did we forget that the Republican's candidate got us out of Clinton's debt?

i thought we were already out of that debt before bush got appointed?
