And to think that Shrub today said it was the Republicans and his way that builds the economy and creates jobs

TD, this has always been one of the most egregious lies.

How they have been able to convince tens of millions of voters that this lie is the truth has got to be one of the great feats of political magic.

This site shows the real economic performance during the evenly-split 40 years between 1960-2000. Yes it is the Senate Democrats' site and they are certainly trying to cast their party in the best possible light, but still, the contrast between the economic numbers is stark.

The longest economic expansion in the history of this country bookended by Bush recessions should tell you all you need to know about these lying incompetents.

I saw the interview.

Bush feigned, squirmed, weaved, dodged and wanted very much to pretend the whole matter was one of being nice. His eyes showed clear hesitation, and his shortness of breath and use of forced pause was telling.

Clearly, Bush was remembering coached lines, championing redundancy and playing fiddle only to his crucial base of electoral support. This in a backdrop of the GOPwinger plan with money to buy fencesitter voters, enough to put him over the top in demographically-targeted states.

The truth of the interview was Bush was a truth-tormented man and pretended well that his dunce cap was invisible. Anyone with knowing eyes could see this; anyone with a feeling as to what's going on knew this.
