Do you mean the time in history when the nation wasn’t in debt and majority of Americans had jobs? The same period of time when people owned homes, had incomes, enjoyed peace without an illegal war, where veterans didn’t come home injured or worse, when they had health care. Is that the period of time we’re looking at?
Yeah, when the Rpubes ran congress.

Wrong.

He wants tax cuts for ALL business, corporations and small business both.

The US has the second highest business taxes in the world. You cant create jobs and grow business like that.

Yeah, you missed William Jefferson, D - La, protected by Speaker of the House.
You also missed Charles Rangel, D-NY, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. The guy who controls the money.

Quote:
Representative Charles B. Rangel paid no interest for more than a decade on a mortgage extended to him to buy a villa at a beachfront resort in the Dominican Republic, according to Mr. Rangel’s lawyer and records from the resort.
Quote:
It's also interesting that Rangel claims that his wife was responsible for taking care of the family finances and tax records. I think we just saw Charlie attempt throw his wife under the bus, but if Charlie signed those tax records, he's just as liable as she is.
The only way the swamp in DC will get sufficiently drained is at the ballot box. Eight years has got nothing to do with it. This has been going on for DECADES.

Congress... 535 reasons to support term limits. NEVER vote for an incumbent.

Yeah. We didn't appreciate Clinton when we had him.
Nobody thought it would get this bad.
And McCain't will follow the same policies, because he has supported most of them for 8 years, and he said that in his opinion the economy was just fine.

Now, when he sees Obama doing so well, he is adapting part of Obama's platform. But we all know that, to McBush, it is all talk. The minute he gets into office, he'll be doing the same thing that he has for the past 8 years.

Rumor has it that the GOA has purchased extra shedding machines for the White House in preparations for the Nov elections coming. Leave no evidence behind when leaving!
