Bush talks nonsense

Let's get this straight: President Bush, speaking Tuesday in New Albany, Ind., denounced "free-spending" Democrats in Congress who are going to push the nation toward tax increases?

Would this be the same president who in six years, from 2001 through 2006, signed more than 50 spending bills passed by the "free-spending" Republican majority in Congress that exceeded his budget requests and did not veto a single one?

Would this be the same president who led the United States into a pointless war in Iraq -- without the war tax that American presidents traditionally have demanded in order to pay for military conflicts -- that is rapidly (at the rate of about $200 million a day) approaching a price tag of $500 billion and is likely to reach $1 trillion?

And, is this the same president whose ill-advised tax cuts, skewed heavily to the wealthiest Americans, helped turn a promising federal surplus into an alarmingly high deficit?

The 24% fall into the first category.

And it is mind-blowing isn't it that no one with a microphone has made that point. Let's hope KO says something.

to bushit's history..just what he says. That's the Orwellian Way.

Nice to know not everybody in m$$$m is ignoring jr's past.

Well maybe that was nonsense too, but he really meant it.

Bush talks nonsense.

That pretty much sums up his public speaking record since 1999 (at least as far as national issues are concerned- probably longer if you include Texas).
