Another Bush Tax Cut

This guy is running political circles around his opponents. Most democrats reluctantly voted for this bill because they didn't want to have to go face their constituents a few weeks before an election and have to explain why they voted against a middle class tax cut.

Now Bush will get the high-profile photo-op of signing this bill into law, which will win him votes.

The dems have been owned on this one.

yeah thats true, they are mopping the floor with them. Kerry is such a little bitch its unbelievable. how in the fucc do you get blown out in an election where the incumbent happens to be the worst president ever, dragging the country innto a war on false pretenses. Kerry needs to stop listening to whoever he is listening to, if its not already too late. He is totally niave to think that there isn't going to be any mudd slinging or dirty politics in this one, meanwhile teh GOP is tearing him to shreds and the poeple are listening and Kerrys playin nice and safe, like a little bitch. Instead of saying, well he would have done Iraq differently, he should be standing up and saying he wouldn't have done Iraq in the first place. This election is pathetic. The Democrats need to man up, fo real

I've read speculation that Kerry was the GOP pick for the Dem. party and is purposely throwing the election because he is in good with the Skull and Bones

Well, I disagree with you there. I think Kerry is going to lose because Bush has done a good job as president and most voters recognize that. Also Kerry is too liberal, though he has tried like hell to hide it.

As far as that conspiracy theory about the GOP putting Kerry up, that is too funny. Howard Dean would have been easier to beat. Theories like that are a true sign that the democrats have begun pouring the grape koolaid.

LMAO, Bush is one of the worst presidents in history.

The only reason Bush will win is because Kerry is such a pussy and because of this awful situation Bush has us in right now it probably does not make sense to put a little girl like Kerry in office cause most likley he would only make things worse.

Hello, what planet are you from? The Republican Drone planet I suspect. The place where all bullshit is lapped up by people too lazy to think and where they rely on political ads and Dick & Bush's lies.

He'll go down in history as the most ineffective president ever elected (I use the term loosely as we all know he wasn't technically elected - he was handed victory by the Supreme Court.). Gore had over 500,000 more votes.

This new tax cut comes with a price of $146 billion - more money to add to the already massive deficit. And you think that's a good thing? I hope you don't have a job which involves financial responsibility.

I agree, the problem this country faces is that just because the person is a voting Republican does not mean you have to follow a bad republican official.
He has to be the worst president in my lifetime.

Austinite ... I like your name. I live in Austin. That being said you're speaking your opinion ... based on an emotional response. From an numerical perspective, one based on REAL numbers, Bush is the worst we have seen since Johnson was in office.

Austinite I live in Austin. Love this town. I know you are speaking your opinion and am sad that yo do not pay more attention to the facts. Bush us the worst Prez since the Johnson Administration. Get the nombers from someplace OTHER tha Bush's foloowers. Look at the forign news sources, some of the centrist sites and such. You'll be surprised.

As far as the conspiracy theme goes it would go something like this: Hey Kerry you wanna be Prez right? Take a dive in the last round of this fight and you get the nod in '08.

Do I believe this? Sure I do.
I believe in the WMD's and the Easter Bunny too.

But I PRAY that is the plan ... because if it is not than we are going to be saying Mrs Prez in '08 and the public tit is gonna get huuuuUUUUUUUge. Every non-english speaking person that can run jump or swim the US border is gonna get socialised medical care, AFDC, and I am gonna get taxed back into a 5 figure income.

Maybe we can hire Kathleen Harris to work for Kerry this time.

Are you refering to people who've glued on headphones playing Rush 24/7?? I supported the war, and still think we had reasonable cause to go.. But somehow Bush lost ALL of my support and at this point Id be more than happy to campaign against him. The only thing he did right(by me) so far was let the AWB pass(die); And he only did that in exchange for the gun vote. If he knew hed win without it, hed have pushed and got it passed.

But then again, thats ALL politicians. Once you're at that level, you dont need to worry about self defense anymore. Plus with grandfathered laws, they can afford anything outlawed anyways.. For example- Our good boy arnold pass a complete ban on all firearms .50 cal and over(No action express for you californias!) and they're currently setting him up to pass a bill requiring fingerprints for ammuntion. After all, if criminals are buying their guns on the streets, well just catch them buying ammuniton.. cant get that on the street!

Ok, now that all you Bush-haters have had your rant, let's look at the facts:

Bush promised to cut taxes...and he did.

Bush promised to fight terrorism...and he is.

Bush promised to reform education...and he is.

Bush promised to provide prescription drug assistance...and he did.

Bush promised to end partial birth abortion...and he is.

In term two he will no doubt reform Social Security, Kick Iran's ass, appoint conservative judges and cut taxes some more.

He was elected fairly (redspy take a civics class it's about electoral votes), and he will be re-elected overwhelmingly. If Gore was so great why didn't he run again? I know you guys think that the majority of voters that will keep Bush in the White House are just dumb.

Include among those "dumb" folks like John McCain, Colin Powell, Rudy Guliani, George Pataki, Arnold, Most CEOs, etc, etc.

Come on. It's our government and legislation that got these things done. If they were even done.

Oh and tax cut?? You mean that tax refund I got in the mail and then had to pay it back the next April 15?? Yeah okay.

If anybody actually believes one person (The President) actually runs this country, good or bad, your about as ignorant as believing you'll get 72 virgins when you die!

I'm not a Rep, a Dem, or any party. I just believe to vote for who I think will represent this country the best and has balls enough to stand up to Congress, Big Business, and the world when needed. I don't like anyone currently available in this election and honestly I doubt I'm going to vote. If I do vote it won't be for Bush. They guy is an idiot and he has the rest of world laughing at us, at him.

Just my 2 cents.

You refuse to give the man credit for his accomplishments, yet you want to blame him for shortcomings.

Our taxes were cut 3 times, and soon it will be 4. If you can't figure out how to take advantage, or if you don't make enough money to get a decent tax cut that's not my problem.

I hope you mean it when you say you won't vote. That is in-effect voting for Bush. Low voter turn-out favors Republicans.

Fear not. Hillary doesn't stand a chance against the Big Strong GOP machine. Look for Jeb Bush, Johnny Mac or George Allen to rule the day in 2008.
