Bush Boom? Bushit. Bush Gloom. * is toast even if the economy improves
Edited on Sun Nov-02-03 05:07 PM by TruthIsAll
Because the deficit is exploding, and even if a few of the 3 million find jobs, they will never get the incomes they had before - and they will never forget the nightmare of the last three years.

The 7.2% growth rate is a scam. There is no Bush boom. The only Bush boom is in India and China and the EU. Along with the Bush boom at Halliburton (Cheney), Carlyle(Poppy), Bechtel and Unocal (Rice).

Losing a job is the cure for all the Bushit propaganda. And those of us who have been affected by the Bush Gloom will never forget it.

1. That's true
incomes aren't rising and health care costs are rising. Although the economy is expanding, this real estate boom that has kept it afloat won't last forever. Also, maybe white collar and service jobs are increasing, but not manufacturing jobs. Manufacturing jobs have been taking a nosedive, and I think that's one thing that a lot of people do not factor in when they look at the unemployment rate.

Also, one misconception of the unemployment rate is that it is a percentage of people who do not have a job. That is not true. The unemployment rate is of people who are "activelY" seeking a job. Many people may have given up looking for one after being out of work for so long. The number of people actually employed is probably A LOT higher.

2. bu$h is SUPPOSED to be toast in '04
That is to say that he was never intended to be more than a one-termer. You could look at the sorry little fucker from day one of his campaign and tell that his heart was not in this at all, that he was just going along with what Poppy wanted. (One can only imagine what Poppy held over Junior's head to make his lazy, spoiled, frat-boy ass get into gear!)

The "presidency" of George W. Bush is Poppy's Revenge, pure and simple. Poppy went Caligula Ballistic when Clinton won in '92 and again in '96. How could one of those people possibly derail the evil dream that he had held for himself since the day in Dallas back in 1963 when he "could not account for his presence?"

Poppy would SHOW THEM ALL, by God! He would send his pinhead offspring into the White House by any means necessary. He'd clean out the Treasury and richly reward the FEW masters to whom he answers. He'd gut the Constitution and send our young into Wars Without End Amen. He'd show Hitler what Fascism REALLY COULD BE.

And the Propaganda Machine was firmly in place to cover his tracks.

A second bu$h term has never been in the works. If it does happen, Armageddon won't look anything like the way the Fundies want it!
