Yea Glass...I've been more than watching...My part of this country has probably been hit the hardest...sad state were in...but it is NOT just because of GWB and his so-called crew of crooks...the dems have also had plenty to do with the state that we are all in right now... The sad truth is that ALL politicians, republican & democrat, are not trustworthy and are only looking out for themselves and their own "special interest" groups, and anyone that believes otherwise is just plain foolish...
most of those debts are owed to china and arab countries....dubya has borrowed those funds to fill in for his tax cuts to corporations and the very rich and for the invasion of iraq....
there wasn't any real tax decrease for any that aren't rich....

China's Big Surplus Gets Bigger Parmy Olson, 08.10.06, 11:20 AM ET China’s contentious trade surplus got more contentious in July, data released today show. The surplus hit its third consecutive monthly high, doubtlessly setting the stage for new calls from suffering American manufacturers that the country alter its economic policies. The surplus last month was $14.6 billion, a 40.6% increase over the corresponding month of last year, according to figures released Thursday by Beijing's General Administration of Customs.
n the meantime, China uses a part of its trade surplus to buy U.S. government bonds, essentially sending the money back to American consumers, who then use it to buy more imported goods. The bond purchases have the effect of keeping the dollar strong against the yuan. If the yuan were freely traded and foreign investors had unrestricted access to assets in China, market forces would tend to lift the Chinese currency. http://www.forbes.com/business/commerce/2006/08/10/china-trade-yuan-cx_cn_po_081 0trade.html

What you do is parrot the RNC talking points in order to divert attention from facts.
I don't hate any party or any person, in spite of what you have been trained to say so that it makes it "seem" you are being reasonable or honorable. You are not.
Republicans so irrationally hated Clinton (simply because he wasn't republican) they are easily led to believe that anyone that doesn't step in cadence with the RNC formula hates in return.
But it is a lie. It is a lie they have taught the faithful to parrot at any and every opportunity, so as to divert attention from facts they don't want carefully investigated.
The difference between you and me, contrary to your republican talking points blather, has nothing to do with anyone hating any party, it has to do with your obsession to obscure fact with propaganda in order to be seen as properly worshiping the Party.
Party loyalty is NOT patriotic, indeed, it is the opposite!
Party loyalty leads straight to nothing but fascism, and that is independent of the particular party.

Bdgee, you must learn at some point to stop insulting people because they are smarter than you. Motor publicly denounced the RNC in an earlier post on this page and you still call him names and accuse him of parroting the RNC? I know it's a bit late for it... but do try to grow up. GWB is not responsible for every failure this country has engaged in.. The idiot Dems are just as guilty as the idiot Reps...
