Demcrotats Declare "New Direction for America"

Demcrotats?

I guess it is easy to take potshots when you make up facts about where we are today.

Nice malarky if you can get anyone to buy into it.
The DOW has found new highs. The market has not.
The DOW consists of 30 stocks. The NASDAQ and S&P are still off their highs of 2000.
25 year lows? They are at 6 year lows but hardly 25 year lows. The unemployment in 2000 was 3.9%. The present unemployment is 4.6%

Wow.. Oil prices have gone down? But they are still at historically high numbers. Present cost per barrel is $58.76, about where they were a year ago and more than double what they were 5 years ago. Are you saying that the new direction will make Health care costs go down? That is a bad thing?


Doesn't that statement directly contradict your claim that taxes are at 20 year lows? Revenue comes from taxation.

Down 50% after going up by how much?


Meanwhile real wages are lower than they were in 2000. As low as inflation is the wage paid to working people isn't keeping up to it.
Not a single one in the 6 years before 9/11. Seems like we have the old direction back which led to 9/11.

Osama still isn't caught. Your 95% number is a nice made up one.
Terrorist attacks were thwarted before 9/11.

I guess the only thing you are proving is that Bush isn't quite as bad as he was a year ago.

A shorthand rebuttal to the "facts" that form this thread's premise: The voters spoke loud and clear re these achievements in November.

A new direction means higher taxes & more socialism.

He didn't write it, put this in Google and see all the rest of the copycats:

"a new direction from there means what?"



Google News has it originating here, but this website just says it is from an email floating around.

I guess he forgot to let us know his source...

Things like this bother me. If you are going to try to have an expert opinion and try to talk the talk, at least pretend to know what it is you are saying.

It's hard to be condescending when you look like a dumbass. Just ask Setanta, he knows all about it.

I don't think anyone ever considers you condescending McG.

Thats a good set of reality checks, Parados

And it begins.

Do you have a problem with the Koran owned by Thomas Jefferson?

No, the whole "direction".

House Warming
For Democrats and Deadheads, the Gilded Party

Despite the promised "new direction for America," getting the money out of politics and all of that, some facts of Washington life appear immutable and eternal.

"One hundred hours to make this the most honest and open Congress in history," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared at the beginning of a history-making day -- which ended last night with the Democrat from California presiding over a glitzy fundraiser open to anyone with $1,000 for a ticket.

A few folks in the block-long line of partygoers waiting to get into the National Building Museum -- social activists, feminists, union organizers, fat-cat liberals, Hollywood allies and not a few serious Deadheads -- did sense the cognitive dissonance. They promptly dismissed it in a tidal wave of idealism about the future under the nation's first female speaker of the House.

They had waited a long time for this night to party, nibble on goat cheese ravioli with pumpkin and truffle, wipe their lips with paper napkins embossed in gold with "Speaker Pelosi January 4, 2007," listen to former members of the Grateful Dead sing "Truckin' " and Tony Bennett sing "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."

"Democrats are back!" Pelosi said in her remarks during the few minutes reporters were permitted inside. "We are ready to lead, prepared to govern and determined to make you proud."

(A dozen years ago, it must be recalled, Newt Gingrich and the Republicans celebrated their return to power with a $1,000-a-plate dinner. Reporters were allowed in.)

Organizers expected 1,000 to 1,500 guests, with checks to be made out to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Many complimentary tickets were given out, and DCCC spokeswoman Jen Psaki could not immediately say how much money was raised. She said fundraisers are usually closed to the news media, but arrangements were made to allow reporters to hear Pelosi's remarks.

Outside in the line to get in, their faces illuminated by cellphones and BlackBerrys, people had high hopes.

"I am personally such an admirer of Nancy," said Susan Levine, vice president of a private equity firm in Boston. "I'm a working mom; she raised five children before she went into politics. What she said today about breaking the marble ceiling, I feel like I'm trying to do that every day."

"We're feminists and we're celebrating!" exclaimed Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation, and Martha Burk, money editor of Ms. Magazine, almost in unison.

"The marble ceiling is certainly not broken, but it's nicely cracked," Burk added.

A long column of leaders and organizers from several labor unions walked from nearby headquarters.

Oh, you are just whining because you lost. I get it now.

what do you call a white man afraid of women and blacks?

a republican.

calling cjhsa a racist would be redundant.

Having a liberal blowhard nutcase call me a racist is a compliment. Thanks.

Stock market begins to tank during the first week of Dem control. To be expected. Yesterday - down 82 points.

What I see in the pic at the top of the page is a liberal socialist and a radical muslim. Just so you know. Those two things do scare me.

Funny I see 2 people elected to Congress. I guess that must be because I am an American. What are you cjhsa?

Which goes to show even a liberal blowhard nutcase recognizes the vicious racism, sexism, and moronic stupidity that spews from your ignorant mouth.

Like most fearful white guys with ED you just can't imagine living and more importantly, competing in a world where blacks and women are treated fairly. Unaccomplished white guys like you need all the advantages your fat asses can accrue and resist any leveling of the field, because you know in your own heart that in a fair race you'll fall down on your face.

btw, only a retard or yet another Republican moron points to the Dow on a single Friday (when it normally drops compared to the rest of the week), in attempt to make a political point. From January, 1993 to january 2001 until January, 2001 when he left office the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) rose from 3310.00 to 10,887.36, a total of 229%.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5EDJI&a=00&b=20&c=2001&d=09&e=4&f=2006&g=m

And under George Bush and the Republican Congress?

It started at 10,887.36 and on November 7 2006 when the idiots you supported in destroying this country were turned out to the streets the Dow was 12,156.77.

And reflecting the national mood of throwing off the yoke of an incompetent Republican Congress and electing a Democratic Congress, the Dow that day rose 52 points.

That reflects a 18.7% increase of the Dow under Bush and his congressional lackies, over Clinton's DJIA 229% increase.

Mission accomplished, there son?

For that you castigate Democrats and praise the GOP as the Second Coming? What's next, you'll smear dog $hit all over your forehead to protect you from Martians reading your mind?

So even using your mentally retarded scale George Bush and the Republican Congress are abject fails, even with their ballyhooed tax cuts.

btw: A 2005 study by four federal reverse board economists failed to find much, if any, imprint of the dividend tax cut on the value of the aggregate stock market. According to a Wall Street Journal article, the study concluded that QUOTE "Bush's tax cuts were "a dud when it came to boosting the stock market."
