Ten, I think you're giving Bush more credit than he deserves, just to find a bone-to-pick. I am giving him more credit than he deserves. Unfortunately, he is president and that carries a lot of weight in this country. Bush can't affect consumer confidence with mere words any more than he can affect the number of home runs A-Rod can hit with mere words. He can't effect the no. of home runs by A-rod if he is no longer a member of the Rangers board. If he still is on the board, he has some influence. But he can effect the economy for sure. He is president and when the president expresses concern that the economy is going into a recession, people listen. And Bush and his minions now are saying that we, in fact, are in a recession and tell us that his tax cut will be what gets us out so long as the bad, bad Dems cooperate. How many people in this country know the definition of a recession? I can guarantee very few. Based on his comments, probably Bush doesn't know. Therefore, when Bush says we are in a recession, people believe him....and they act accordingly. Or do you think this is all part of some underhanded "strategery"? ;-) Yes, I think the Reps. want a tax cut badly....that they have felt that all the surplus monies these past 8 years have been wasted and they are making up for lost time. Before this election, I was nearly non partisan...I was registered independent and I had little interest in politics, other than I voted. I tended to vote more to the Dem side than Rep but I have voted for them both as well as other parties. However, watching how this past election played out has changed my perspective completely. While I won't register as a Dem. anytime soon, I plan to do as much as possible to thwart the Rep. party and its agenda. I see the party as reactionary and a relic of the past, and believe they serve no useful purpose anymore. Nonetheless, I am a proponent of the multi party system and look forward to another party rising up to eclipse the importance of the Rep. party. ted
