  Rich I have more than a few friends who demonize Bush (and of course Cheney and Rumsfeld) at every turn. They want to convince themselves that things were so much better back when Democrats held power. Facts be damned. And of course there are plenty of mainstream media outlets that will feed them this distorted view of reality.

  If President Clinton was in office during Hurricane Katrina the response off all local, state, and federal agencies would have been exactly the same. But the reporting of it would have been much diffferent.

  The other day I read a post from a liberal who cried that we would all be better off if Gore had won the election in 2000.

  I have to agree. Things are terrible. I don’t know if I can go on.

  I am apalled that under George Bush the unemployment rate is under 5%, we have created millions of new jobs, infaltion is in check, we have lowered taxes yet brought in more tax revenue to the government, we have not had another terrorist attack against one of our cities, and we have helped form new democratic governments in Afghanistan and Iraq where there was only fascism before.
