- Go to They are really taking us back to the 1800's aren't they?
Dems, baby
so going from the 1800's to Roosevelt is backwards?
what we need to do right h ere and now is for you to give some statistics to back up you statements.
state the stats to back up the stating.
I've heard that for 20 years --
I think we heard it in the 19th century too.
we are only on our economic feet because of free acceptance of credit cards for the most part. without people being to spend themselve into debt a hell of a lot more easily now, we'd be in an immense depression.
to take money away from peole limits their spdneing
oh yeah -- what's this about Bush's tax cut being worse for the middle class? Wasn't that just on the news?
it helps the big guy -- but hurts the average joe.
actually we need Bush to get in again and for the whole caboodle to come crashing down on him and the other conreps -- then we'd democrats in office for a much longer time than after Hoover.
sorry, my dad lived through the Depression -- he never voted Republican after that. I see why.
slick talk taking away from the working class what FDR gave to them.

Moving Forward!
Had we kept going down the road Bill Clinton and his liberal allies were taking us, this nation would surely be in another depression even worse than the mess Jimmy Carter left behind.
It took Ronald Reagan to get the nation out of Carter's double-digit inflation misery index and the terrorist hostage crisis of the late '70's.
Now it has taken President Bush to pull the nation out of another recession left by a tax hiking democrat that strangled businesses and consumers nearly to death during the late 1990's.
Since Bush came into office, America has continued moving forward past the high tax and spend deceptions of liberal democrats, and the evidence proves the Bush administration policies are working, even during war time.
What liberals want to do is go backwards to the bad old days of Roosevelt's big goverment era. But we are well past that now and won't look back, thanks to president Bush's progressive policies.
The misguided theory of Westwend is that voters
always turn to Democrats in times of lagging growth. They remember Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression of the 1930s and bring in the Democrats to put in old big-government spending programs, which only create more problems than they solve. The problem with this theory is that only about 6 percent of today's voters remember the Great Depression.
But the Democrats today dare not call for what they really want: rescinding the prospective Bush tax cuts they voted in to help stop the bleeding of Clinton's recession.
The real economic struggle in American politics today is between Democrats who would like to see the government grow larger so that it can redistribute more money by taking it from the people who earn it and putting it into wasteful government programs that make them look as if they care about the poor.
Republicans want to hold back the government so that people will have more to spend on their own.
The Bush tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003, but taking effect mainly after 2005 give the Republicans a great advantage; Democrats who want to repeal them have the burden of going forward, and that becomes more difficult each year as the tax cuts work for the economy to provide growth businesses and jobs.
The public's desire, in spite of the Democrats' best efforts to the contrary, is to give credit where it's due for the economy. With the economy surging, that certainly bodes well for Republicans this November.
They continue to look for positive solutions for job creation and economic growth. Thus far, the public hasn't heard a single positive message from Democrats on this issue. This provides a great opportunity for Republicans to debate and engage voters and Democrats directly. Since Democrats do not have the voters' overwhelming trust on the economy and have no real solutions from their leaders, the Republicans are in a great position to win the debate on the economy in this election.
