The media is full of it...
Now since they see bush's poll numbers are down they want to give the public the break down of how little they will be getting with the tax cuts. The media never tells things unless it gets to the point it is going to be known,.

When a story does break they all tell the same story and stay on only one story while bush and his crew are doing some more dirt that they aren't reporting on thats how he has gotten away with as much as he has.

Yep! That same economy that's soaring needs another jumpstart.

3. Jump start, does that mean we all get a couple of

hundred bucks to boost the economy? Doesn't it cost at least that much to mail that pittance out?

Edit: What does "stem" the economy mean? Does that have anything to do with the home mortgages that are about to default due to increases in the interest rates? Or the crashing credit cards that keep many afloat that are not totally included in bkcy. court.

4. I happened to be changing the stations and I saw..
Glenn Beck and he had some guy on there and he was asking him to write out a slogan about how good the economy is , everytime I see some of these repugs they are talking about bush's poll numbers and they always ask the question, how can they get out the good news about the economy.


These bastards are living in their own world and don't realize or just don't give a damn about how the rest of the country is doing.

13. Thank you for
the belly laugh!! I'm a terrible mother because I showed it to my son when he came to see why I was laughing so loud.
Oh God! I'll probably be hauled in by the thought police.

Um...I was only kidding about everything. I DID NOT laugh and I most certainly did not show this filth to another person...
:hide:

15. I was amazed at how very little they talked about Bush's tax cuts
back in 2001. And none of the talk was critical. Absolutely none of it.

The biggest single debt the United States had ever been thrown into and they hardly mentioned it in passing. When they did talk about it it was always political: can they pass it, not whether they should pass it or what it means to the debt. It was just a chance for the media to show how Republicans were able to beat Dems into the ground.

A real media would have ripped Republicans apart without a single Democrat having to say a thing. That's what they would do if Democrats proposed spending 2.3 trillion dollars on anything, let alone going into 2.3 trillion dollars into debt to do it.
