As for Bush, I'm embarassed I voted for him. He sucks! I shoulda voted for Ralph Nader. He might be slightly anti-tech, but he's also anti-corporate!
--- End quote ---
so you're a communist? Ralph Nader is a HUGE socialist, the US would turn into a country like Sweden or France where socialism is just insane, you complain about taxes now at like 40% or so but what if your taxes were 60%-70% or higher like they are in France and Sweden? would you complain then?
what if Nader made the US like Canada where prices for things are just attrocious compared to stuff in the US. for example, here in canada i get some channels from Spokane (i think that's in Washington) and i see commercials saying packs of eggs are 30 cents which is like 55 cents here. in Canada, you expect to pay MORE than $1.50 for the same pack of eggs! in Washington you can buy a pack of cigarettes for like 2 or 3 dollars, in Canada they cost over 8 dollars!! alcohol here is 80% tax! when you pay $20 in canada for a bottle of whine, more than 16 of those 20 dollars are pure tax and what does our government have to show for it? we don't have that big of a national surplus even though the taxes are just exorbant compared those in the US. places like France and Sweden have even higher taxes, guess what France's economy is like? it sucks ass.
if you want socialism, join all your poor friends in Russia. if you want wealth, you stick with capitalism. best example i can possible give is West Germany and East Germany. during the cold war West Germany was fine, they made products that people would buy in other countries but East Germany was poorer than crap and people tried to escape to the west; they tried to escape socialism.

Clinton is hardley the reason that the economy was good. The economy is the reason the economy was good. It goes up and down. It's a cycle and presidents have nothing to do with it except sleep with interns.
I have great respect for Bush because he is trying to do the right thing while taking heat from: The terrorists, the American people (well, the idiots at least), the media, etc. He is under more stress than anyone of you could even imagine and you sit back and talk about him like that? What are you, 5 years old? Learn what's going on before you decide to bash somebody!
Oh and one more thing...THE REPUBLICANS HAVE CONGRESS!!!!! HA!!!
