We WON the wars? <br /> <br />You've GOT TO BE KIDDING!! <br /> <br />I must be listening to the wrong radio stations, seeing the wrong tv stations, and reading the wrong newspapers. <br /> <br />So you want documentation about the democrats "smear" campaign? How about documenting your rather imaginative statements?! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Let me guess: You listen to Air America and NPR, you watch CNN/CBS/Bill Moyers/Chris Mathews, and you read New York Times/Washington Post/LA Times/or any Knight-Ridder/Tribune media owned papers. Geez, if I was as immersed in that culture of negativity I'd be as despondent as you. <br /> <br />Economic growth - 3.4% <br />U.S. productivity - 4.1% <br />Unemployment - under 5.0% <br /> <br />Given the hits from oil prices and the Hurricanes, it is remarkable that the Bush Administration has kept this economy on course. You may hate Bush, you may even be one of these self-debasing "Hate America First" types, but if you want any credibility you have to admit that Bush has done the job. <br /> <br />Of course, it's always possible that folks like you will somehow manage to snatch defeat from the mouth of victory in Iraq and Afghanistan, should you all regain power in 2006. It shouldn't suprise anyone that the terrorists (you know, those sub-humans that you call "insurgents") are reading and listening to the same media that you read and listen to, because after a hard day of performing the acts of a dead-ender, they can always get themselves re-energized by accessing the mainstream US media. <br /> <br />It's no wonder soldiers come back from Iraq shocked at what they see and hear in the US media. For you see, from their perspective, the work they are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan has been a great success, as they work to rebuild those nations while taking potshots from your "insurgent" buddies. It's too bad people like you continue to stab them in the back by undermining their accomplishments.
