Bush's election was the wise bet for six months prior... Check your facts. If it was such a wise bet, you'd think the odds-makers would have picked up on it. CNN/USA Today/Gallup polls had Gore at 48% to Bush's 42% two months before the election. Six months before the election, Bush had a five point lead, exactly the margin of error in the poll. Bushie Texas phony scam energy crisis sucked 100 billion out of consumer and businesses pockets and threatened to bankrupt California. Put it together with the dot-coms plummeting and you had the Bush recession. You have a rich imagination (but I think your brain is already overtaxed, so I won't suggest a tax hike). The CA energy crisis was of its own making. As for plummeting dotcoms, that's quite a stretch even for you to try to pin that on Bush. AS YOU SURELY KNOW, both the bubble AND the bursting occurred on Willy's watch. Your argument here is patently absurd, but that's nothing new. PS: Yes, I am calling you a liar. However, I'm not sure you really know any more what of your BS is truth or a lie. You appear to have lost any sense of objective reality - to you truth and lies are indistinguishable.
