Radio host Gallagher falsely claims there were "no acts of terror under [Bush's] watch" after 9-11

So, you think it clever to make fun of the previous post? Where he mentioned that he had been unemployed? Really?

I think a good place to start understanding the current economic cycles is to understand the Reagan years, and some good information can be found at this link and the recommended book: http://www.truth-out.org/012809L

Another fantastic book that exposes the tax cuts are stimulative myth is by Ravi Batra: Greenspan's Fraud. He is a brilliant economist that cuts through the spin in a clear, easy to read way. http://www.amazon.com/Greenspans-Fraud-Decades-Policies-Undermined/dp/1403968594

A great web sites for economic information is Dean Baker's Center for Economic and Policy Research: http://www.cepr.net/

Good things to know: when income taxes on the super rich are below 50%, the economy tanks because they move their money overseas or into tax shelters. The tax rate for this group was 90% in the Eisenhauer years. When the tax rate for the very rich is high, they tend to plow most of their profits back into their businesses (and hire employees) The out sourcing craze among these folk is the largest answer as to why we've had so many "jobless recoveries" in the last 30 years.

The super-rich are very different than you and me, except that is when it comes to tax rates. Couples making $137,000 pay 25% of their income in federal taxes. But someone making 10 times that or $1.5 million a year, or for that matter $100 million, will pay 35%. Factor in the carried-interest break that some Wall Streeters still get, off-shore tax shelters and other tricks that the super rich use to avoid paying Uncle Sam and the effective tax rates of the middle class and the upper-upper class are probably pretty similar.

Those who come in uninformed and rely on partisan spin doctors are easily manipulated. The people who ran our economy into the ditch want another go, and haven't learned a thing. They run "against government" and when they are IN GOVERNMENT and in charge, they are still against government make sure it cannot function.

They simply divert your attention with phony issues and rachet up fear to motivate you to vote against your own better self.

Those were also the years when they decided to remove from the unemployment rolls those who had run out of unemployment insurance. They weren't employed, they just weren't counted.

Yeah, bright days, indeed.

You have nothing to be proud of.

. . .after this week another of my unemployed friends bites the dust succumbing to a "stress related disease" he said being layed off saved his life, it was the eight years of "productivity" that did him in.

"Productivity" means 4% unemployment to you, but to those who are subjected to it means another form of Darwinism.

Make fun of it just like FOX makes fun of Labor on Labor Day, your job/career may be next

You can spin and spin. It won't make any difference.

The majority of Americans still know that GWB is the cause of our economic problems, and I know you supported him. Therefore, proudconservative and George W. Bush = Major Failures.

Scroll down the page to locate the article. The poll results were revealed this week.

NEVER had 3-5% annual GDP growth under Bush.

With guacamole,one can only make a bland bomb.I hear what you're saying though.It is constantly orange danger no matter what airport i wind up in.

Menso

I'm glad you've recovered since stabbing that Muslim cabbie in the face, by the way, proudconservative. Way to represent.

Recovered? I don't think so. This post has to have been transcribed from the shrieks of one of those bodiless heads on the Mexican border, zapped three times with electrical charges. No functioning brain could have put it together.

suzie, suzie, suzie-1235688 to the 10th power,

Oh contrarie, mm(fvl) has once again, led the way to uncover islamo terroristism wherever they can. Even the ones actually not related islamo terroists themselves.

I salute the dear folks at mm(fvl) for wanting to clarify the record that islamo terror does exist beyond the 9-11 and we should do every thing we can to undermine their efforts.....unless of course you are a member of hamas, absolutely needing to build a mosque in the shadows of Ground Zero, or are trying to sneak into the country via Meh-he-ko......

Can't a guy even give mm(fvl) it's due for fighting the good fight against those religion of peacers???

With them it's anything to discredit President Obama, no matter how blatantly false.

They count on our not having their staying power. We also tend to think that people are more rational and well informed than they are, and these falsehoods will eventually fail by their own weight. Not true. The Repugs will keep trotting them out until the Big Lie effect takes over. That's why we have to be vigilant and active. It's also why they hate us so much. To quote a much better man, for whom I had the honor to pull a voting lever as a two-year-old in my father's arms, "I accept their hatred...and I glory in it."

Is there anything funnier than Fox Lies and their associate racists? Honestly, do they really think anyone other than an IDIOT or a dead-ender from the Bushies would recall Bush fondly? The idea of rehabbing the worst, most totally incompetent administration in history is laughable, perhaps even sociopathic. Only people who are republicans FIRST and americans SECOND would defend Bush/Cheney.

Again, status quo = 4%unemployment + 5% GDP growth
versus
hope/change = 9.6% unemployment + 1.6% GDP

I have a hunch about how Americans are going choose to 'live it' in November.....

He doesn't even know what a conservative is . . . he just thinks it's cool to call his form of hatred that name.

For the incumbents, it's been pretty lousy.......

Here's one to consider

or this one

and now for the trifecta

See you in November

leftbehindtheeightball,

Again, nothing positive from lefty dem progressives. Only a hope that millions of informed and motivated voters somehow don't show up in November. Yes, that's the ticket!

Nothing, absolutely nothing, the leftys have done to this country in the past 20 months appeals to the exceptionalism of America or Americans.

Don't worry at all..................
