Default Bush Wins!

Straight out of the Democratic Natinal Committee.

How about facts instead of bull****.

June 4, 2004 -- The U.S. Department of Labor announced
Friday that the economy added about 250,000 new jobs in
April, making it the ninth month of job growth in a row.

How can this be compared with Herbert Hoover?

When you don't have facts, just make up bull****. This
is the typical Democratic crap. It is no wonder the liberals
have no credibility.

Bush Wins Triple Trifecta As Worst President Ever

"The worst president in our lifetime" is how many Americans view George W.
Bush.

But Bush is not merely the worst president in recent memory. He's the

worst in
all US history. And he's won the distinction not on a weakness or two, but

in
at least nine separate categories, giving him a triple trifecta. It's a

record
unmatched by any previous president.

Let's count the ways:

TRIFECTA ONE: Economy, Environment, Education

Economy:

Until now, Herbert Hoover has been the president most closely associated

with
economic disaster. He presided over the 1929 stock crash, and choked while

the
economy collapsed around him. Bush did not preside over the 2000 Nasdaq

crash.
But he's turned the biggest federal surplus into history's biggest

deficit,
which a nervous global banking community sees as a potential weapon of

mass
fiscal destruction. Bush has lost more jobs than Hoover. A top Bush

advisor has
called outsourcing "just a new way of doing international trade."

Bush has achieved the economic trifecta by simultaneously collapsing the

dollar
while gutting the industrial infrastructure and running up gargantuan

trade
deficits. Even GOP conservatives are petrified over a Bush Blowout that

could
make the 1930s seem a time of widespread prosperity. With Vice President

Dick
Cheney saying "deficits don't matter," the administration has introduced a

form
of "kamikaze economics" entirely new to the American presidency.

Environment:

Bush's "No Tree Left Standing" attack on Mother Earth has transcended even
Ronald Reagan's all-out anti- green assault. More people will ultimately

die
from the resulting climate chaos, toxic emissions and other eco- fallout

than
from anything Al Queda could imagine. Simply put, Bush has trashed not

only
eco-progress dating back to Richard Nixon, but also the achievements of

both
Roosevelts, scorching the earth all the way back to US Grant and

Yellowstone,
our first national park, now being Bushwhacked.

Education:

Bush's "No Child Left Behind" scam has imposed massive new costs on state

and
local school systems with no tangible payback. Even Utah has just said no.

Even
Reagan's slash and burn of public education has been trumped by an
administration for whom the three R's are "Religion, Reaction, and
Revelations."

TRIFECTA TWO: Corruption, Constitution, Global Contempt

Corruption:

Until Bush, the friends of Warren G. Harding were the kings of White House
sleaze. Nixon and Reagan's made a serious challenge. But with Enron,
Halliburton, Bechtel and other Bush funders profiting from the slaughter

in
Iraq and the decimation of the electric grid and the natural environment,

W has
captured the crown of public theft.

Constitution:

Richard Nixon's repressive attack on the Vietnam anti-war movement

outstripped
even the Red Scare excesses of Woodrow Wilson after World War I and those

of
John Adams after the Revolution. But Bush and Attorney-General John

Ashcroft
have shredded the Bill of Rights with unprecedented glee. From the Patriot

Act,
Homeland Security and an escalated drug war, Bush has become George

Orwell's
Big Brother, making Nixon look like a civil libertarian.

Global Contempt:

American presidents from Washington to Lincoln to FDR to JFK have been

loved
around the world. Jimmy Carter, now an ambassador for peace, may have

excited
the most global contempt by preaching human rights while embracing the

brutal
Shah of Iran. But no American president has incited such worldwide hatred

as
George W. Bush. He has turned the global sympathy from the 9/11 terror

attacks
into inexpressible rage over the attack on Afghanistan and Iraq, his

contempt
for the United Nations and his cynical, uncaring arrogance and global
ignorance. By blatantly lying to both the United Nations and in the State

of
the Union, and then unleashing brutal violence, Bush has become the most
polarizing president in US history abroad as well as at home.

TRIFECTA THREE: Military madness, Messianic delusion, Macho Matricide

Military Madness:

About a dozen US presidents served in the armed forces.

Three---Washington,
Grant and Eisenhower---are among history's greatest generals. None ever
advocated attacking countries that have not attacked us. All honored the
firewall between military and civilian rule by avoiding wearing a military
uniform while in office. Bush trashed that tradition with his infamous

flight
suit. Bill Clinton occupied the short list of presidents known to have

dodged
the draft. But with an entire cabinet of chickenhawks, Bush gets the
Congressional medal for having used his wealth and connections to avoid
military service, for likely having gone AWOL and for lying about having

ever
been in combat. None has heaped such hypocritical praise on American

soldiers
while slashing their benefits.

Messianic Delusion:

Presidents from Washington to Lincoln to the Roosevelts to Reagan have

invoked
the name of God. Only Bush claims to speak directly to Him and for Him.

Only
Bush claims to have been elected by Him (the American people certainly

didn't
do it). At least since the witch trials of Salem in the 1690s, no other
president has ever attempted to impose his personal religion on the

nation---or
world---as has Bush.

Macho Matricide:

Ronald Reagan ostensibly opposed a women's right to choose, but did little
about it. Ditto George H.W. Bush. But W. has launched an unprecedented

crusade
against women's rights, affirmative action and a whole range of social
legislation supporting equality between the races, genders, communities of
preference and classes.

Much more could be said. These modest nine points omit Bush's attacks on
organized labor, health insurance, retirement benefits, renewable energy

and
much much more. But if you ever have a pinge of doubt about Shrub being

the
worst president ever, just repeat the phrase "Triple Trifecta" three

times.
Then go out and organize, organize, organize.
