If the questions over the war don't pan out, can the Dems use the economy?
And other stuff, as well?

3. Yes.
Plus Bush's piss-poor foreing policy and actions will bite him in his arrogant ass.

5. Yes, but
... the Iraq issue is likely to expand beyond just questions about intelligence to the expense in blood and treasure. We're shoveling billions into Iraq while the United States remains as unprotected from terrorism as we were on September 10, 2001; the economy goes down the tubes; state and local taxes are going up; schools are closng for lack of money; jobs are flying out the window; and we won't have fun television shows about toppling statues to look forward to.

Iraq will pull Shrub down.

7. shrub's rush to war
has been shown to be self-satisfying only. no matter what else is planted, found, or spun - wmd were not used during the war by Iraq and so Iraq was not a clear and present danger to the US or the UK.

Shrub launched an illegal war.

9. There is so much...where do I start?
Edited on Sun Aug-03-03 01:42 PM by caledesi
The Dems have so much ammo against *, and just keeps piling up every day.

Unemployment
Economy
3 million jobs lost
Proposed Overtime Bill
Troops dying in Iraq...uh, why did we go there?
Bush environmental "Clear Skies", hell even Christine Todd Whitman and her deputy left
Tax cuts that didn't work
The on-budget deficit in fiscal 2003 is likely to exceed $570 billion, meaning that 32 percent of non-Social Security spending will be financed with borrowed money this year
Homeland Security - a dearth of "first responders", Russian uranium stockpiles (could they be sold to terrorists?) - issue not even being addressed
Alienating other countries, so we couldn't get a REAL coalition if we tried
Refusing to join Kyoto Protocol
OSHA Ergonomic Standard signed by Bush - Are you safer now at work? No!
Dissed the ABM Treaty
No Child Left Behind - well, they don't have health insurance
Abolishing Head Start (thru sneaky means)- trying to put $ in the hands of states which can take that $ and redirect it to whatever they want; ain't gonna be Head Start
Cuts AmeriCorps (sneaky means again)

How to Destroy America in Two Years or Less by G. W. Bush
