		<description>I&#039;m so inspired!  I think I&#039;ll go donate to His Majesty-Elect&#039;s perpetual campaign right now.  You&#039;ve convinced me!  How could I have been wrong all along?  What a FOOL I&#039;ve been!  Why - I&#039;ll never have to work again!  Free housing...free insurance...no mortgage.  The One is teh awesome!

		<description>From 2005, someone sent me, but it applies, as wisdom allways does.
And so for your amusement;

Recent hurricanes and gasoline prices are proof of the
 existence of a new chemical element. Research has led to the
 discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The
 new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25
 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant
 deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. 

 These 312 particles are held together by forces called
 morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of
 lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium can
 cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second
 to take from four days to four years to complete,
 Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years. It does
 not decay, but instead undergoes reorganization in which a
 portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons
 exchange places. In fact, Governmentium?s mass will
 actually increase over time, since each reorganization will
 cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This
 characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to
 believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a
 critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is
 referred to as critical morass. 
 When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes
 Administratium (Ad), an element that radiates just as much
 energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many peons,
 but twice as many morons.</description>

		<description>Republicans can certainly share some blame in the current economic situation with their over-spending, government growing mentality the past 8 years.  The Bush Administration and Republican Congress picked winners and losers from 2001 to 2007.

The interesting thing to note is that, while Bush and Republicans were in charge, we saw economic growth.  Our economy grew from $9.8 trillion in 2000 (just before Bush took over) to $13.8 trillion in 2007 (growth of 40%).

Accounting for inflation, the economy grew equally from 2001 to 2007 as it did from 1995 to 2000.

Obama&#039;s states policy goals are &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; stimulus.  They are simply more unfunded government spending  for the purpose of buying votes and creating more government dependents.

&quot;...we no longer can call ourselves a superpower. &quot;

I challenge you to find a nation that defeat us in open battle.  Only the lack of political will to fight could really stop us.

&quot;bush negelcted our nation’s infratructure, schools, he allowed city to drown and remain broken,&quot;

Our infrastructure has been ignored for decades.  Our schools have been failing for decades.  New Orleans and Louisiana knew that a powerful hurricane flooding the city was a matter of when, not if, again for decades.  &lt;b&gt;Why are all these issues sudden &quot;Dubya&#039;s&quot; fault when they were known issues long before he could even vote?&lt;/b&gt;

&quot;...bush is also responsible for more unemployment since 1929. &quot;

Only in terms of absolute values, not real percentages; and only if you believe that the Democratic Congress has absolutely nothing to do with our current economic situation, a position I argue is laughable at best.

&lt;b&gt;You keep saying that Bush&#039;s policies failed.  I&#039;d like you to be just a bit more specific.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>two things with one of your statements:
&quot;I know he is a honest public servant&quot; 
for one:
 its &quot;an honest&quot; as opposed to &quot;a honest&quot;.
for two:

		<description>Under Mr bush, although he has spent like a Democrat, under him there was the largest amount taken in by the IRS in its HISTORY on April 15th, 2008..
And unemployment, besides the Peoples Republic of Michigan, the national average has been around 5%. And if you didn&#039;t count in Michigans rate of a constant 7%, it would have been lower.
 And since Uncle Ronnie brought down the Soviet Union, remember them Mr Bush has liberated more people since Jesus. 
And if you actualy listen to any of the Massiah&#039;s  speeches, yopu can come away with everything, or nothing, because he says both. 
Will you tell me and everyone here, how Bush ruined the economy.
The Wall Street bailout was Congresses.
And I don&#039;t see any one hear &quot;whining&quot; about Obama, just stating facts..</description>

		<description>I liked &quot;If Democrats Had Any Brains...&quot;, but it was just a &quot;best of...&quot; book.  Actually, another &quot;best of...&quot; book.  &quot;How to talk to Liberal&quot; was her official best-of.

&quot;High Crimes&quot; was good, too, but it lacks the extreme point-by-point documentation and lie destroying that &quot;Slander&quot; had.  High Crimes was more of a legal insight book.</description>
