The Bush-"Legacy"

[Mr. Shaman]

Right, because everyone with any money is obviously an Exxon executive... sad.

I digress......Flip-flopping & LEAPING lemmings.

What the CHICKENHAWKS have wrought!!!​

"Amid talk of a drawdown of troops in Iraq, new statistics from the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) show that US casualties are still climbing quickly. Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield injuries and deaths number 81,361, up from 72,043 last January, according to data obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by Veterans for Common Sense (VCS). Veteran patients - including those who didn't seek care until their return home - shot up to 400,304 (from 263,909 in December 2007).

For the thousands of soldiers flooding the VA, mental illness tops the list of ailments. Forty-five percent of VA patients have already been diagnosed with mental health conditions, including a startling 105,000 diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These data do not include the incalculable number of mentally ill veterans who have not received a diagnosis or haven't sought treatment at the VA."

Do you ever answer a question? Do you even realize that a question was asked? Your tirades remind me of a certain governor from Illinois that was just removed from office.

Any comment on the violence-free provincial elections?

....And, the 4236 DEAD-Americans were well-worth-the-price (as-long-as that body-count didn't include you....or, any "conservatives'"-kids), right???

How cavalier, of you!! (Takin' credit for what someone-else has sacrificed!)

Your CHICKENHAWK-bretheren would be sooooooooooooo proud of your actions!!​

I guess this means you have no comment on it then. It seems you would have preferred they failed and more people would have died. Then you could blame Bush again.

But for anyone who followed it, they can tell you that all sects participated and no one boycotted it. This is a major step.

"The number of Americans filing for first-time unemployment benefits surged last week to a level not seen since October 1982, according to a government report released Thursday.

The number of initial jobless claims jumped to a much-higher-than-expected 626,000 in the week ended Jan, 31, according to the Labor Department. That's up from a revised 591,000 in the previous week and the highest level since the last week of October 1982, when jobless claims reached 637,000.

"In recessions, you tend to get spike highs in claims," said Brusca. "They tend to get up to some high level very quickly and then they tend to back off."

"History tells you that claims don't continue to deteriorate this rapidly for that long,"said Brusca."

Then, again......History tells us Americans have never been stupid-enough to re-hire from the same den-o'-thieves.

Look at that topic change. I take it BigRob thumped you again. Like always, a quick topic change will make you feel better about being mentally mashed, while the rest of us laugh at you. Nice job BigRob!

"The rise in the unemployment rate also was worse than the 7.5% rate economists expected. The unemployment rate is now at its highest level since September, 1992.http://money.cnn.com/2009/02/06/news/economy/jobs_january/index.htm"​

This would've been back, before St. Bill took-over.

​

And yet Obama is pursuing the same policies that failed Bush. So what exactly is the "up-side" to this?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

"The nation's economic slide during the last three months of 2008 was even sharper than previously estimated, with the broadest gauge of economic activity suffering its worst decline in 26 years, the government reported Thursday.

The decline was worse than the 3.8% drop that the BEA reported in last month's "advance" reading on fourth-quarter GDP. It was also the largest drop in GDP since the first quarter of 1982, when the economy suffered a 6.4% decline."

....And, ReRon Reagan is STILL IN THE LEAD!!!!!

"Second-grader Danessa Vigil said she will never eat sliced cheese again. She had to eat cheese sandwiches because her mother couldn't afford to give her lunch money while her application for free lunch was being processed.

"Every time I eat it, it makes me feel like I want to throw up," the 7-year-old said.

Her mother, Darlene Vigil, said there are days she can't spare lunch money for her two daughters.

"Some parents don't have even $1 sometimes," the 27-year-old single mother said. "If they do, it's for something else, like milk at home. There are some families that just don't have it and that's the reason they're not paying."

I guess these kids need to learn things are tough, all over....even for "conservatives".​

Kids and their parents need to learn what "tough" is. She can't eat a cheese sandwich for lunch? Puleeze! Try offering one to a poor kid in any third world slum anywhere and see if you get turned down.

People in the US don't have a clue what it is to be really poor.

Lol. So, are you saying that all "conservatives" were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and never had to work for what they have? You keep blathering about "conservatives". Just WHO are you talking about. Let's see, it probably isn't the folks who have a 50% drop out rate from high school, which in this country a dog could graduate from with all the coddling done for those who can't and won't. So what is the makeup of a conservative?

Are you really suggesting that in this day and age that despite a humble beginning that anyone COULDN'T do what it takes to qualify for aid to educate themselves? Or are you saying that the prerequisites for getting that aid is just too much work for "non-conservatives"?

You being a non conservative seem to know all about how they think. I propose that no person of conservative values, which includes sticking around to raise the kiddies, would have anything to do with you and your whining. Just where are you getting your info? If not FAUX news then perhaps BET?
