Are Voters Worse Off After the Bush Presidency? Two Economic Studies Say Yes

If we were to become a gentle nation and quit sticking our noses in everyone else,s business,given time would they not become more gentle toward us.Would they not be more gentle toward us? Again, give in ,compromise as in a marriage,because no one comes out better,only through compromise.We are not better than another,or even worse,we are all simply trying to survive.But you must remember they are also.I haven,t heard of the European nations trying to defeat us lately,have you?I know this a Dovist thought but it may be something to ponder on.Only be assertive not aggresive in your approach.Then give em, Hell Harry.

Connecting all the dots.

Madame Speaker of the House, Nancy "let em eat cake" Pelosi, and Harry "nepotism" Reid, refused to even ACKNOWLEDGE that the high gas prices and grocery prices were a CRISIS for the average AMerican, SHUT DOWN CONGRESS AND WENT ON VACATION, while the rest of the country struggled to make ends meet.

She REFUSED to allow even a vote on a viable ENERGY BILL that would provide relief from high gas prices.

Where is the Energy Bill she promised us when she was elected to a Democratic controlled Senate?!?!?!

During her vacation she and her husband became heavily invested in the The Pickens Plan, an energy plan that she said (during the last session of Congress) was not good for Americans. An Energy plan that will save the U.S. $700 billion in foreign oil!!

Now she and her husband stand to make millions, possibly billions of $$$ when the legislation passed to support The Pickens Plan is passed in THIS session of Congress.

Obama;

Worked as a rookie community organizer and legal defense attorney defending ACORN the criminal voter registration fraud organization that has fraudulently added hundreds of thousands of fraudulent voters to the voter rolls. They've stolen your vote, by doing so.

He has served 143 days in the Senate, has no leadership experience, but is not the Democratic candidate for President!

ACORN gave away mortgages to countless people and illegal aliens who had no security or even social security numbers, to be able to legal secure mortgages, and is responsible for the massive default on billions of dollars in mortgages.

And, in the latest proposed $700 billion dollar bailout of the Stock Market, the Dems, and especially Obama, want multiple millions of $$$ to go to ,,,,you guessed it,,,,ACORN!

We've already seen the beginning of the wave of new working homeless with the junk ARM mortgages that were defaulted on.

Now thousands of people who weren't lucky enough to be on the public dole and be given an illegal mortgage and can only rent, are about to be made homeless with all of the apartment building mortgages going into default!

THIS is the CHANGE that the DEMS promised you in the last election!

Things can get a whole lot worse!

Don't you forget it when you vote for President in November!

No matter how you slice it or what kind of spin they put on it, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what a mess we are in(that is unless your income is in the top 3% in the country)! We can be sure that by election time the pig will have so much lipstick on it that we won't be able to see its face, but guess what"it will still be a pig!". Wake up America its time to let them know whose country this still is! Wipe off the lipstick and recognize the pig for what it is before we pass the point of no return! In the words of H.Ross Perot"Is this what we won't to leave for our children and our childrens children?"

Ronald Reagan started deregulation in the 1980's. Reagan believed the less government the better for the nation. John McCain deregulated the Savings & Loan industry relaxing rules for his buddy Charles keating of Silverado savings & Loan that went belly-up and Neil Bush (Geo W's bro) defaulted on $220 million in loans along with other millions that taxpaxers bailed out. This was the Keating Five Scandal and John McCain was part of it. Then the other 784 S&Ls nationwide went belly-up.Republicans pushed for & got more deregulation & no oversight under the guise of less government, over the years removing safeguards put in place by FDR in the Great Depression. In 1999, Phil Gramm snuck a bill--the Commodities Act--unread, undiscussed--into a spending bill at the last minute that allowed banks & lending institutions to speculate with credit default swaps. John McCain, Phil Gramm, and Allen Greenspan are responsible for deregulation, no oversight, and the incredible mess we are in today. At your own peril Vote Republican.
