Bush: 'Economy has slowed
President Bush said Friday that "it's clear our economy has slowed," hours after a government report showed a decline in payrolls for the second straight month. But he said the long-term outlook is good, with a stimulus package enacted last month by Congress providing a "booster shot."

1. "Long-term" in GOP lingo means 50-100 years
Or maybe never, with the mess they've created.

5. Tax cuts and war - the only two Chimp solutions to anything
Why doesn't he just declare world war and then cut taxes for the rich 100%? His solutions have worked so well so far, we just need more, more, more of the same. Right?

9. What a useless piece of human flesh.
Wasn't it just about a month ago that the idiot said, "Our economy is strong and getting stronger." He has no clue and never has had a clue about the economy or anything else in America. Has there ever been anything in his life that he didn't screw up big time? Why or why did the repugs ever think he could be president? I think his shoe size is bigger than his I.Q.

10. They know how stupid and clueless J6P is. Do you realize that
there's a VAST number of people in this country that have absolutely no clue? We who do have a clue are very few indeed. I don't know anyone personally who truly has a clue. Of course, most of the people I know are rednecks and trailer trash.

Ahhhhhh... Texas! Gotta love it.

11. awhile back I would have disagreed with you
I have seriously changed my mind. Now for the story. I went and voted Tuesday and the guy in front of me (and I too come from a rule area hate put labels on people)well anyway when the girl at the election office said Democrat or Republican the man spoke up."I am a born breed Republican and always will be." So when I got in line I told the women I was a Democrat. We were in a very small room of course because of the town I live in so I was sitting in the chair next to the voting the machine the man was voting at. He was taken a very long time and the election officer said could I help you are you having any problems. The man said did you give me the right ballot I don't know any of these names or any issues. True story!! As I over heard this I piped up and said when I come to vote I am very informed on my candidates judges congress issues ext ext. I guess thats what makes us different (I know that was uncalled for but couldn't help it.) Of course the election officer smirked and the man gave me a funny look. Now I do have a different point of view that there are a lot of people clueless. Its sad but a true story. Just wanted to share.
