"...and this country is really in the mood for somebody to tell ’em what they should think, what to do.â€
That's exactly what democrats want--to tell the American people what we should think and what we should do. Unbelievable, he just gave away their secret! I'm glad I can think for myself, thank you.

And how about the celebrity turnout for the premiere? Not a real shocker to see Martin Sheen, Demi Moore, Drew Barrymoore, et al excited to be there. And how about Camryn Manheim who was also there, quoted, "A lot of us look to Michael Moore to uncover the real truth." ROFL.
*sigh* These people...

You evil money lover.
"our economy *did* turn around, and based on economics, tax relief was a huge cause. "
Imagine that...history repeating....
Bush cut economy improves
Reagan cut economy improves
Kennedy cut economy improves.
I can't fathom why someone can't fathom that a tax cut is a good idea. Oh yes I can..either jealousy or no basic understanding of economics.
Cut Taxes = Higher revenue for the government.

If you took all the money in the country evenly divided it among the people and waited a few years guess what....most of the rich would be rich again and the poor would be poor. It is more about drive and determination than anything else in the country. Of course believing in that requires belief in personal responsibility. Too hard to swallow for some.

>"requires belief in personal responsibility"<
Tell that to all the ex-Enron workers that lost their jobs & 401K's.

The Government has at its disposal only two tools to help the economy.
1) Tax cuts to help stimulate spending
2) Keeping interest rates low (via the Fed).
Thats it.
The government cannot (no matter what any politician tries to sell) create jobs on its own, unless they plan on expanding an already over bloated government payroll.
It was, until he changed his mind to help beat Howard Dean in the primaries, and now he is sounding a lot like Bush again, with much smaller differences.
Highest rate of homweownership in the history of the US.
Fastest rate of economic growth in over 20 years.
Over 1,100,000 jobs created in the first 4 months of this year alone.
Most economic experts feel that the job growth is going to continue to be strong through the third quarter of this year at a minimum.
Seems to be going in the right direction to me.
With regards to the war, there are justifiable reasons to disagree with Bush on that issue, but with the economy, when you compare his vision to that of Kerry, I think perhaps Kerry is not paying all that much attention to what is happening in the economy.
Sure, MM uses creative editing, just look at how he portrayed Canada in BfC. No one here locks their doors? Gimme a break. And that sure didn't look like a slum to me - he should check out Vancouver's downtown eastside. Not pretty.
Moore does have an agenda - he's a film maker, and a film maker's goal is to create entertainment. He's certainly succeeded at that, with flying colours. I love the point Marilyn Manson made in BfC - keep people afraid and they will consume. My own mother has been saying that since I was a child - and it's true!!! It's quite ironic that that is precisely what Moore is doing. He is creating enough of a stir to get people to see his film. The man is brilliant. But you obviously don't have to agree with him. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the fire.
