people say we need democrats to clean up the GOP mess (and yes, the GOP spent money like a drunken Kennedy on spring break), but isn’t that what happens when ONE party controls the white house AND congress?
You mean that the Republicans actually did something good for the country…what were the demoncraps doing during this so called Cliton administration?

I C/P’d this from an earlier post written by an informed voter. I think it’s well worth repeating.
Thought you might like to read the following: A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.10 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure;
7) Food prices skyrocketing over 30% in 1 year.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember, it is Congress that makes the laws and spends our money – not the President; he has to work with what’s handed to him.
Part 2: Taxes… Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.www.taxfoundation.org/publicatio…
Taxes under: CLINTON-1999 BUSH-2008
Single earning: 30K – taxed $ 8,400>>>> 30K – taxed $ 4,500
50K – taxed $ 14,000>>>> 50K – taxed $ 12,500
75K – taxed $ 23,250>>>> 75K – taxed $ 18,750
Married earning: 60K – taxed $ 16,800>>>> 60K – taxed $ 9,000
75K – taxed $ 21,000>>>> 75K – taxed $ 8,750
125K – taxed $ 38,750>>>> 125K – taxed $ 31,250
It is amazing how many people who fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If elected, Barack Obama has already promised that he will repeal the Bush tax cuts, and amazingly, a good portion of the people who fall into the categories above can’t wait for it to happen.
PART 3: You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?
Read this: Boy, am I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.

And the last two years has been with a Democrat Congress whose numbers are dropping ling road apples. Look to the idiots who want to re-elect these free spenders.
They rail against Bush, but his numbers are higher. What does that tell you?

Why is that so many people don’t understand that the President is not "all powerful?" Having a Democrat in the White House along with a Democrat-controlled Congress will be a horrendous combination for our country.
