Really? The Republicans are using that strategy?

Seems that it's the Democrat Party that keeps repeating the same old lies. They are even beginning to believe them themselves! HA!

Yes, in fact Republicans use this tactic often, all politicians do- it is one of the first rules to getting people to sway to your way of thinking, which is what ALL politicians do-

Yes, that is why present day Republicans us that tactic. . . they care about nothing but their own, elitist agenda. . . government by and for the wealthy and powerful. Why so many of the rest of the population cannot see through their "message" is a real mystery to me. . . many may be uneducated, but few are actually that dumb! I work with a bunch of folks who watch Fox news, and are swayed by it. . . I was delighted last Friday, to hear that most of them do not vote. . .that is just too much trouble!

It is because most want to believe that they are the "top 1%". I'll tell you a little secret. Only 1% gets to be in the top 1%. Polisies that favore everyone evenly are what we need.

So what you are telling me, is that lawyers and president lose their license to practice law over "blow jobs"... Wow.. I didnt know that.. do you want to back this up with the legal code which states this, or do you want to come back and rephrase your claim because indeed Clinton lost his license to practice law.. Do you want to discuss facts, or do you just want to repeat the same old Democratic BS you heard from some other uneducated individual?

The reason nothing was done about it was that the administration and the congress were in bed with one another.

All you can do is bob and weave...there's nothing you can come up with which will refute the enormous deficits accrued by Republicans ever since Roanld Reagan first accomodated his rich supporters with a huge tax cut.

Sure, why would we want to see proof of what you say when you "guarantee" it's true.

Democrats controlled the Senate from May 2001 to 2003 because Jeffords (R) became an independent who caucused with the Democrats.

The only time Republicans controlled the entire federal government this century was 2003 to 2007, or four of the past ten years.

These rosy CBO estimates are based on the administration's assumption that exports will double in the next five years. From what I can see, the defects increased 2001 to 2003 then leveled off and decreased before blowing up again in 2008. Hmm, I wonder what else happened those years.
