The terrorists could never have inflicted upon us the damage that W has.

The terrorists would love for the US to become bankrupt and big bro 43 can stand in front of a banner with "Mission Accomplished" for that feat.

No president during the history of the US ever waged a war without getting the entire US to sacrifice financially by increasing taxes. W did the mirror image of that and redistributed resources to the top 1%. How many yachts can those slime balls buy?

Get the top 1% to return all of the extra money they got during big bro 43 years. Get the Halliburton's and Blackwater's to return all out standing income they have from Iraq war now.


What have they done to our legal system a hallmark of a democracy that bin laden dreamed of ruining?

The article "Supporters Of $1.3 Trillion Bush Tax Cuts In 2001 Now Call $900 Billion Recovery Plan Billion 'Too Much'" at click here expresses the GOP's hypocrisy as it states "As the senate version of the economic recovery package makes its way through Congress, a significant (though misguided) criticism of the package from Senate Republicans is that it is "too big." For example, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) claimed, "from the very first moment of this debate, there's been strong bipartisan agreement on one thing: the original version of this bill was too big."

Back when big bro 43 passed his tax cuts Senator Kyl stated "I was there when the president signed into law the tax cut. ... f that isn't one of the best things we can do to get this economy going again, then it seems to me that the American people might well lose confidence in what we're doing, which would be the worst thing to do for the economy," and Senator Ensign said "Well, I don't know that we're going to get to the - you know, the total $1.3 trillion tax cut. I do think the tax cuts are necessary right now."



How much other benefits did the richest gain from that ultimate raper of the poor to enrich the rich W?

The article "400 richest Americans' incomes doubled under Bush" at click here states " Capital gains made up 63 percent of the richest 400 Americans' adjusted gross income in 2006, or a combined $66.1 billion, according to the data. In all, the 400 wealthiest Americans reported a combined $105.3 billion of adjusted gross income in 2006, the most recent year for which the IRS has data."

This probably isn't close, but how do we know what other benefits can be attributed to W raping the poor to aid the rich, but let's multiply 8 times 105 billion and you get $840 billion. Add that to $1.3 trillion and you get $2.1 trillion.

How would that $2.1 trillion look right now? But that isn't all of the planned, calculated damage that big bro 43 inflicted upon our economy. You have to add in the costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

3. I never wondered why we didn't have another terrorist attack
Why should the terrorists waste time and resources when W was doing such a wonderful job fulfilling all their wishes?

4. I never will forget, right before the vote on the IWR
Tom Delay babbling that "Nothing is more important in the face of war than cutting taxes."

So I just now googled that phrase to be sure I had it right and the quote is right on including the following:

From National Journal’s “Congress Daily PM",
Wednesday, March 12, 2003

“Meanwhile, Majority Leader DeLay today brushed aside arguments that the Bush administration should hold off plans to attack Iraq until it has secured approval from the United Nations, saying the international body has become irrelevant and outlived its useful life. ‘They can talk until they're blue in the face over at the U.N.,’ DeLay told an America's Community Bankers meeting today. ‘I think the days of the United Nations have come to an end ... because they can't do anything.’ DeLay also said it was Congress' duty in a time of war to significantly cut taxes. ‘Nothing is more important in the face of a war than cutting taxes,’ he said.”

The record reflects that the UN outlived Tom Delay's political career.

Damn... I was having a good day and now this makes my blood boil all over again!

5. The terrorists DID inflict upon us the damage that the Bushistas did.
The Bushistas were the worst of the terrorists -- the worst because they infiltrated us from within.

6. Ain't That The Truth!
Edited on Fri Feb-27-09 02:27 PM by Demeter
Bush=Terrorist, the home-grown, piratical kind. the Mafiosi of the WASPs.

the Bush Family Evil Empire could choose between power and control, or loot. Poppy was always into power, but he wanted to be loved, too, and America said "It's the Economy, Stupid."

So Shrub decided to just gut the economy through abuse of power. As a result, he lost all the power the GOP had accumulated in 50 years, hopefully forever. I hope Poppy is disappointed, and lives to see the end of the BFEE.

8. So very true!
Of course the terrorists never had the news media, the reigns of government, the US military, Fatherland Security, Blackwater, and eight unimpeded years in which to terrorize.

So it shouldn't come as a surprise that the Bushies did more damage.
