Of course.

George Bush and his minions are the cause
of all the world's problems.

If you break a string, it's George Bush's fault.

If your guitar goes out of tune it's George Bush's fault.

If the wood on your guitar dehumidifies, shrinks, and it
develops fret sprout and you gash your fingers on the
sharp edges it is due to Global Warming(tm) which is
personally caused by George Bush.

If one spends all their time on Usenet whining about the
evil that Republicans do and consequently neglects practicing
their instrument except to layer insipid noodlings over other
people's published tracks then that is obviously
George Bush's fault as well.

Amp problems are another story.

George Bush is extremely lazy, so he has delegated
the responsibility for causing those to Dick Cheney.

Haa ha ha ha ha, well we know you suck on Duhby's

I suspect it's not that simple, either:

http :// zfacts,com /p/318.html

It is not clear how general economic health, government
spending and government debt are related. Once you consider
the Fed's role, it's even ... weirder.

What a fucking moron.

They do these polls all the time and the sitting president always
takes an extra hit.

Libs love polls.

Remember the polls Morgen and Jim Anable kept posting saying Kerry
would win?

If Iraq turns out like Germany and Japan, Bush will go down in the top
10.

Mozart, Churchill... many greats were dissed in their day.

It takes decades, even centuries to judge a president.

Yup. If the next president is a lib, I'm giving him 30 days to fix
everything.

If not, he will be judged.

That would be the best thing about a lib president, the crybaby libs
will have to find some other scapegoat for their miserable lives.

I laugh at that butt puppet clown every day, but I really
hate what that bastard and his sycophants and cronies
have done to fuck up this country beyond recognition.
Repeating:
Thanks to greedy "business before people" asshole repugs,
we have this stupid "war" in Iraq, overpriced gasoline,
a fucked up housing market, high ass grocery prices,
a wretchedly failing economy, overpaid CEOs, job
downsizing, job outsourcing, union busting, a monopolistic
corporate tyranny controlling our government, our lives
and our airwaves, organized ultra rich elitists swindling
our government, over-priced medical care and medicine,
a devalued dollar, inflation, a bloated government of waste,
fraud and abuse, an impotent FDA and impotent EPA
along with other agencies hindered from doing their job,
failing infrastructures all around the country, obtuse priorities
like Terry Schiavo while disregarding the threat of global
warming and on and on and on. Yet we have economics
geniuses and other pencilnecks and Duhbya bouncing all
sorts of theories about what to do about the failing economy
and simply overlooking the fact that their fifedom ideology
is the fucking cause of it all - suck up all of the money from
the middle class and the poor and who's left over who can
afford to buy their stinkin' products and keep their businesses
growing? Retardicons voted for this shit - fuck 'em.

Look at the tick up named "Iraq War".
http :// www .hist.umn.edu/~ruggles/Approval.htm

Damn near a 25% increase in approval rating.

> overpriced gasoline,

ORLY?

We're just now to 1981 levels, and that is very likely
due to speculation, as hedge funds left the housing-finance
markets for.... commodities.

http :// www .inflationdata,com /inflation/images/charts/Oil/Gasoline inflation chart.htm

So what is the replacement value of a barrel of oil?

What did you think was going to happen when they dropped rates between
2000 and 2002? That is when fugitive capital from dotcom went to
housing....

> high ass grocery prices,

More speculation....

> a wretchedly failing economy, overpaid CEOs,

We have a reading comprehension problem. Some guy cashing out 10 years
worth of options is not "overpaid". Remember, options were the
*solution* to CEOs being overpaid.

That part is largely true. Devalued dollar is painful now, will be a
good thing later.

The cause of it all is *fear of deflation*. That is a good thing to be
afraid of. Ben's Last Bounce was today - by the end of Q3, it'll be
back to swinging.

Employment is a late-trailing indicator, and it's in good
shape. See above curve.

The rebublicans are to blame for a lot, but it's pointless and

yep, largely bush's fault but plenty of dems were in support at the
time.

caused by a falling dollar (blame the Fed's easy credit for that),
reduced supply (not really the government's fault but they could tap
the strategic reserves to relieve pressure) and the war (see above).

blame the Fed for easy credit creating a bubble and then bailing out
the failing banks, idiot buyers who couldn't afford them in the first
place and speculators - not really the government's fault although
they should be reigning in the Fed or abolishing it altogether to stop
these bubbles forming.

blame the falling dollar (the Fed).

too vague to assign blame.

not the government's concern although it's clearly a market distortion
and is a symptom of more fundamental problems.

same.

same.

> union busting

can be a good thing, although again it's not really the government's
problem as they should be voluntary collectives.

yep, but it's just as bad on the Dems side and it's been bad for a
long time.

Shouldn't be the government's concern however the FCC is largely to
blame for the concentration of media ownership.

already covered above

I guarantee you that universal healthcare/single payer solutions will
worsen these problems not solve them - it will drive the cost of
healthcare through the roof and decrease the quality of service.

blah, blah, blah. You are an absolute fool if you think that the Dems
will do any better (except perhaps end the war but I wouldn't count on
that.) It's amazing how brainwashed people are to favor one side of
politics over the other; all it does is increase the size and power of
government in total. Reagan was right (although he fucked up a lot of
things too) - government IS the problem. Vote third party or write-in
someone sensible like Ron Paul.

I plan to vote 3rd party. I'm a registered Independent,
however as you suggest Ron Paul, I'm considering
Obama. Still completely undecided presently.

BTW, I'd like you to prove Michael Moore is full of shit.
Have you ever read any of his books? Or have you
just relied on propagandist pundits biased reviews to form
your opinion?

I can't believe that you are unable to perceive that almost
everything the Duhbya administration has done is to shift
powers to the elite rich and corporate (the "Haves and
Have-mores" his favorite base) so they can suck up
the money supply and the Treasury while the rest of us
peons, serfs and pawns in their fifedom ideology can't
afford to buy the products we don't need but they want
us to have by going into deep debt doo doo instead of
using the Henry Ford model of making sure his employees
could afford to own one of his products.

I didn't say that the Dems would do better, but do you
want more of Bush by voting for McCain?

The only contemporary candidate I had hope for was
Howard Dean who refused to take donations over $100
which meant he couldn't be bought off by the ultra rich
and corporate. I thought I saw a report that Obama
is doing the same thing, but I haven't seen it confirmed.
That is my primary litmus test for whoever is running.
But I'm fully aware that the DNC did not want Dean because
they are *also* in the pockets of the rich and corporate
like the republicans have been for even longer. So, of course
I don't expect the democrats in general to do any better,
but there's the likelyhood a certain democratic candidate
may just turn out to be sensible like republican candidate
Ron Paul is as you suggest. And if he runs as a 3rd party
candidate, he just likely may get my vote.

So do you endorse business before people?
BTW, what is your answer to the question in the subject field?
Do you think our government should perform its 6 duties?
1 - form a more perfect union
2 - establish justice
3 - insure domestic tranquility
4 - provide for the common defense
5 - promote the general welfare
6 - secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity

Or do you have a problem with any of that?

Ed you can rest assured that these guys have not read Alan Greenspan's
Autobiography, or anything written either by George Soros or Michael Moore.

*IF* they're book readers at all, they read trash produced by Hannity,
Coulter or O'Reilly. All emotion, hay8 and blame, little substance,
thought and/or historical perspective with integrity.

They'd do well to better grasp your 1-6 above, by starting w/

A. A Peoples History of the United States (Howard Zinn) or
B. slaverybyanothername,com (Douglas Blackmon)

However, most humans are creatures of emotion, concerning themselves
with fear or greed, not intellectual considerations of right, wrong.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA

DUMBFUCK POST OF THE YEAR!

No wonder you're a fucking shithead that can't sell amps.

WHo the fuck would buy from a psycho who thinks Mike Moore isn't a lib
propagandist?

He stole everything the Nazis did against the Jews.

Blum =3D idiot of the year.

The question is flawed - individual liberty leads to voluntary trade
that is generally beneficial to society. It's government intervention
that I don't endorse.

> BTW, what is your answer to the question in the subject field?

I don't think it's an important question but I'd say he's one of the
worst - Woodrow Wilson would probably be my no.1 for introducing the
income tax and creating the Fed.

I don't know what that means

'protect liberty' is more accurate

sure

sure

if this means stealing from me to give to you, no. If you want to
install forced charity, have the balls to do it at the local level.
Federal government is not the place for it.

> 6 - secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity

If you mean protect liberty, sure

> Or do you have a problem with any of that?

I'll simplify it for you - the Federal government's job is to protect
liberty. That's it. Anything else you should argue for at a more
manageable level of government.

BTW, with respect to Michael Moore: 'Sicko' is specifically what I'm
referring to when I say he's full of shit - socialised medicine leads
to higher prices and poorer service due to moral hazard. People will
overuse the service and doctors will end up charging higher prices and
providing less competitive service due to the system being funded by
an uninvolved third party.
