Misleading chart.

Half of Bush's trillion$ deficit was TARP, which was paid back by the banks within a year. Obama voted for TARP.

Its a facsimile of this chart which I have posted previously on this thread:

zfacts.com

I first saw this chart in 2001 or 2002. It was then I began to realize the lies we have been fed by the GOP......the myths they have created over the decades. Its why this nation is so off track. For way too long, Americans have believed the GOP was the sane party when in fact they are filled with the nutjobs and incompetents.

One of Miller's ads, aired during the Darla Jaye talk show program in the evening, urges whites to "take their country back" and disparages Jews and nonwhites.

The Missouri secretary of state's office said Miller has filed required papers to qualify as a write-in candidate in the 2010 Senate race.

Under Federal Communications Commission rules and federal law, a "legally qualified candidate" must be given reasonable, uncensored access to broadcast airtime if he or she can pay the cost.

Larrimore said Miller has purchased airtime on at least one other local station
