The Hammond Report

Yes, it was a good decision by the Supreme Court.

I guess George realizes that «talking» actually may help. It sure helped Ronald during the cold war.

Obama owes Hillary nothing.

I think they may have graduated Junior High, and have moved on to High School.

Why do you continuously blame the Democrats over the economy? Let me give you some stats to ponder over.

UNEMPLOYMENT
5.7 million unemployed-Before George took his oath.
7.7 million unemployed-Today
HOUSEHOLD INCOME
$49,163-Before George took his oath
$48,023-Today
HEALTH INSURANCE
38 million uninsured-Before George took his oath
47 million uninsured-Today
POVERTY
31.6 million-Before George took his oath
36.5 million-Today
JOBS CREATED
22.7 million over Clinton's 8 years
6 million over Georgies 7 years
REAL GDP GROWTH
3.6% over Clinton's 8 years
2.6% over Georgies 7 years
NATIONAL DEBT
$5.7 Trillion-Before George took his oath
$10.3 Trillion (projected) when George leaves office.

Now if I remember correctly...The Democrats took over congress on November 9th, 2006. That is 2 & 1/2 years compared to 4 years that Republicans controlled it. The damage was already done before 11/09/06.

Besides the fact that the Democratic Congress has done nothing to STOP the economy from sliding, they are the reason why it has tanked. Nobody, from the man on the street to the man on Wall Street, has any faith in the Democrats. That's why the economy is collapsing. It's a vote of no confidence in two years of Democrat rule.

Nancy—be serious.
Harry—a joke.
Barney—yuck!

Tina--

Could you provide a link for those stats?

Thanks.

Have this stat please: 73% of Montana voters think country is on wrong track (May, 2008 poll by Billings Gazette). Need more proof of what Democrats have done to America in nearly two years?

Codelia, all you have to do is google the question.

Wang, Montana and the Nation as a whole thinks the country is on the wrong track. The decline started in August of 2002, where it took its biggest 12% drop, it has been declining ever since.

The only point that I'm trying to make is, why put so much blame on a 2 & 1/2 year time span when we should actually be looking at the surplus that George started with in 2000. The economy as a whole took a huge hit on Sept 11th, but it actually started to decline in June of 2000, two months prior.

Sorry it should say June 2001, two months prior to Sept. 11th. Its a typo error.

It started with Franklin Delano Rosenfeld in 1933!

A Democrat!

Andy I will do some more reading, and I can see exactly what your trying to say, but its harder for the Democrats to change the path that we were already on. Therefore, I can't just point my finger and blame them.

Wang, I don't know how to take your comment. I thought that FDR was a good President from what I have read. And I hope your misspelling of his name was not intentional. Or are you trying to make some racist comment towards Jews? Please clarify as I don't want to make an unjust opinion.

Sorry Tina,

I can google stats til the cows come home, and come up with different ones that support Bush and ones that don't support him.

I'm interested in where YOU got your source.

Otherwise you're just spewing more leftist rhetoric and talking points...

Blah, blah, blah,...»no blood for oil»...blah, blah, blah...

Cordelia, I'm sure your right, I started with http://www.thetruthaboutgeorge.com

Then I googled the question «the economy since the democrats took over,» and «the economy since George Bush took office.» This is where most of those stats come from. I'm not spewing anything other than I'm looking at a longer amount of time then Andy is. Its a very well known fact that George was handed a huge surplus and now there is nothing left, and it started way before the Democrats took over congress.

Tina: Big surprise! Jews are not a race!

But how would somebody who reads thetruthaboutgeorge know that?

Wang, I beg to differ. I know several people that are Jewish by nationality and not religion.

Tina,

Jewish by nationality? Where is that nation? Perhaps Israel?

So the Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Bahai' Faith, and Druze that live in Israel are all Jewish?

I'm glad you're begging to be different.

LOL, I'm glad you got the joke.

Tina,

You're a joke that was never funny.

For your understanding, perhaps you might think of Jews as being a big family.
