What happens when you oppose Bu$hCo too vigorously

All of the employees were paid generous bonuses this year, as is the case every year. Money was invested in new equipment, furthering our vendors' business.

Our mutual funds are doing great, having survived the low period after 9-11. The stock market is back to where it was before the attacks. We have no personal debt except for our mortgage, in a country where home ownership is at an all-time high, especially since we have had the lowest interest rates in history. No one has to do jobs they hate, because illegal immigrants will do it for them.

The economy has problems of course, the trade deficit being among them. But both parties in this country have bent over for the corporations that want to export our manufacturing jobs, instead of products. I have seen many people lose their jobs to China. This will continue with anyone we put in the White House, unless it's Pat Buchanan . Which I am NOT suggesting!! Both parties want the Hispanic vote and will never do anything meaningful about illegal immigration. Each party will use terrorism, hurricanes, anything they can think of to gain power over the other. This is what they care about. As I have asked before, and never received an answer, which group of rich and powerful people cares about the ordinary citizen? NONE.

Limerick knows America through our liberal media...and nothing else. If Clinton were president then they would report 5% unemployment as a great number and near historic lows......Bush is president so the same 5% is a record high with the economy in the dumps...etc...etc.

It's funny to see their view of our country....they always accuse Americans of having a myopic view of the world...but then they too...do the exact same thing.

Typical of the faux-patriots on the Right-Wing though, isn't it? The lack of expendable income couldn't possibly be because of price gouging for fuel/energy, health care, food, rent/housing upkeep - and just about every other basic neccesity you need to live. Not to mention shitty wages & benefits that only ever seem to stagnate or go lower. Tell me, who in your measly world still has a pension plan left at their job that hasn't been raided by your worshipped, so-called "benefactors"?

The economy is actually growing, fast enough that the Fed is worried about it growing too fast. You grow your way out of a deficit, not tax your way out! The liberals have NEVER cared about deficits caused by spending on social programs that make up half our budget, and that 84% of it is wasted. (It's been reported that a welfare recipient will actually get only 16 cents from the dollar that's collected in tax) But defense, no, no, no. Unless it's a war in Bosnia. The only war that is acceptable is one that has nothing to do with our own national interest.

I don't like Bush because he LIKES social spending.

Don't get me wrong....I won't defend Bush as I think he's a moron too....but that's my right as an American....not yours as whatever you are.

W Bush should be exposed for the fraud that he is, by anyone willing. And it's good to get a little overseas perspective.

Until the very next election cycle. Please. Your outrage is outrageous.

As far as my unsubstantiated drug slur, that's called a joke. Jokes are made by people who aren't twisted by their own bitterness. Even davidmc can get a joke once it's explained to him .
