Bush Adm cut taxes for the rich. No money for two wars, and they were never put on the books. Today, we the middle class and poor are paying dearly for that bullshit.

Heard on KNX Los Angeles, Bob S recording kept saying that the GOP are divided but "will" make gains and/or probably take control of congress - WHAT kind of bull shit is this, and no, they are wrong just like their polling.
