And the people say…………….

*MAJOR BUSH ACCOMPLISHMENTS*

IS THIS ALL THERE IS?

(Kerry’s Senate accomplishments follow)

• We have an $11 trillion economy that is in the midst of nine consecutive quarters of economic growth.

• GDP is growing at the fastest rate in the last 20 years.

• We are growing faster than any nation in the developed world.

• Interest rates are at a 40-year low.

• Inflation is in check.

• Homeownership and household net worth are at record highs.

• The unemployment rate, at 5.5%, is well below its peak of 6.3 percent last June. (Clinton was re-elected in 1996 when the unemployment rate was 5.5%.) This is below the average of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s and well below the 8.8 percent unemployment rate of the EU.

• Our economy has created 1.5 Million jobs since August 2003.

ALL OF THIS DESPITE:

• 9/11 - the worst attack in our country's history

• Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Afghanistan, Iraq

• Corporate corruption (unchecked during the Clinton years)

• the stock market bubble bursting

• democrat obstruction in Congress

• a hostile press!

• While winning two wars!

• Freeing OVER 50,000,000 MUSLIMS in two nations!

• With the fewest American casualties in any war ever!

Oh and by the way...

• America [Under Bush] spends more money combating Aids than the rest of the world combined!!!

• Reagan implemented policies in his 1st administration that barred federal funding for human fetal tissue research. Not Bush! President Bush approved the 1st-ever federal funding for stem cell research. $25 million!!! (Although Clinton promised it when he ran for President in 1992 - he never delivered)

The above contributed by a CSW reader. Thank you.

If you can remember them, they make great ammo against liberal whiners. Of course, they will still find a way to negate them.

KERRY’S SENATE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

• Uhhhh!?

• Uhhhh!?

• Oh wait. I’ve got one. It’s seared into my memory that I once spent Christmas Eve in Cambodia……… No, that wasn’t it.

The above contributed by John Kerry. Thank you.

Okay, moving right along. How ‘bout those Cleveland Indians?

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your attention and have a good evening.

The bar is open.

“Don’t go. I know I can think of something. Shane? Don't leave me, Shane. Shane?”

Hmmmm. Guess who’s still trying.
