economy economy economy economy. That's what this election is about.

This election is a referendum on Bush and the economy. It's about Bush, with the full backing of McCain on his tax cut, big spending budgets, expensive war in Iraq and economic policy.

So if you think things are great and that after 8 years we've got a strong economy to show for Bush and McCain's economic policy, go ahead and vote for McCain and the Republicans.

If you are like the rest of us you know what happened. Bush, McCain and the Republicans deregulated us into the worst economic mess since the Great Depression. It was a giant, free-for-all spending spree for the super rich while everyone else, including the Republican "regulators", watched. Now everyone else is paying the price for the greed and incompetence that the Republicans fostered.

So go ahead and vote Republican and reward them if you are happy with their job. Or go ahead and make lots of excuses for them if you like. Complain about all the things that happened to them rather than holding them accountable for steering our ship. You know these Republicans are out there in the life boats watching everyone else in the boat go down.

Or vote for Obama and the Democrats if you want to bring back balance, competence and fairness to our government and our society.

“Simply put, the United States economy has grown faster, on average, under Democratic presidents than under Republicans”

Great links. You are absolutely right. The Republicans' most recent corrupt, incompetent reign not surprisingly produced a lot less growth than Clinton.

(((The Republicans had their shot. The Republicans messed up, are still in denial coverup mode, and have no plan for the future. ))))


I agree, and many GOP and Independent voters will remember this as they vote for Obama on Tuesday!

>>> Real GDP grew by $2,397.2 billion under Clinton, or 32.17 percent.
Real GDP grew by $1,852.6 billion under Bush, or 18.73 percent.

Hmmm...I guess contextual honesty was a little too much to expect from lib propaganda.

Putting aside your pot shot on the Democrats (they ran a much better, more consistent, more organized and more disciplined campaign than McCain and Palin by the way), I agree with your statement that the economy has a big impact on voters' choices.
