Sleazebrain, the quality of your discourse has spiralled yet again into gutter language. Ask your caretaker to increase the dosage, calm down and try to raise the quality of your dialogue to an acceptable level. We know you're desperate to communicate with someone other than the rabid dogs at the HuffnPuff Post website. Therefore, take your meds, sit quietly in a dark room and repeat to yourself the mantra "I will remain calm, cool & civilized when attempting to defend my liberal misconceptions."

He said he'd cut taxes and he did. Thus I fulfilled your request. You responded with an ignorant claim. Of course, the tax cuts benefited everyone who paid taxes. Meanwhile your highways aren't fixed. No one responds during natural disasters. Your get poor health care. Your education and energy bills sky-rocket and if and when you need help, the government isn't there. My highways are fine. People do respond during national disasters - the recent CA fires are an example. My health care is good. Energy prices aren't set by the gov't. Education is largely the responsibility of local govt not national, even with the NCLB act. IOW the country is a lot better off than you claim. Enough.

Dobbs: Clinton White House Would Be Praised for Today's Economy NEWSBUSTERS By Noel Sheppard on CNN For years, NewsBusters and its parent, the Media Research Center, have been reporting on the disparity in economic coverage by mainstream media outlets during the Clinton and Bush administrations. In the past seven years, economic data that would have been praised when Bill Clinton was in the White House has continually been presented as recessionary, or even depression-like. With that in mind, CNN's Lou Dobbs was discussing the economy, and, in particular, the recent holiday sales figures with WOR radio's Steve Malzberg Monday. The conservative host asked Dobbs, "If these numbers were the numbers nearing the end of a Clinton administration or a Democrat's administration, wouldn't they be touting it as a wonderful, strong economy? Dobbs amazingly answered (14-minute audio available here, relevant section begins at 8:30): "Of course they would." How delicious. Earlier in the discussion, Dobbs spoke about last Friday's holiday sales, and the deplorable way they were covered by the media: The fact is, the numbers went up eight percent. So shut up already. That is the news, that's the story. And why do people want to parse this thing down to one direction or the other? The reason is for their partisan advantage. I mean, my God, I could only imagine what the New York Times will be reporting tomorrow. Or the Washington Post. Or, for that matter, to be completely fair and balanced here as my friends at Fox would say, the Washington Times on the other side. To be fair, Dobbs didn't have very good things to say about either political party, and discussed economic problems relating to our trade deficit, and the unfunded liabilities associated with entitlement programs. He blamed all in Washington for this -- Democrats and Republicans -- and elaborated as to why he is advocating and hoping for a strong Independent candidate to win the White House next year. That said, without commenting on his position concerning such matters, it is refreshing to see such a stalwart at CNN admit just how biased the media are concerning economic reporting. newsbusters.org. newsbusters.org
