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.
