I could have sworn Barry Goldwater said that first.

Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they
regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version
of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always
create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those
who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. Their mistaken course stems
from false notions of equality, ladies and gentlemen. Equality, rightly
understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to
the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been
so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to
despotism.

Fellow Republicans, it is the cause of Republicanism to resist
concentrations of power, private or public, which enforce such conformity
and inflict such despotism. It is the cause of Republicanism to ensure that
power remains in the hands of the people. And, so help us God, that is
exactly what a Republican president will do with the help of a Republican
Congress.

It is further the cause of Republicanism to restore a clear understanding of
the tyranny of man over man in the world at large. It is our cause to dispel
the foggy thinking which avoids hard decisions in the illusion that a world
of conflict will somehow mysteriously resolve itself into a world of
harmony, if we just don't rock the boat or irritate the forces of
aggression - and this is hogwash.

It is further the cause of Republicanism to remind ourselves, and the world,
that only the strong can remain free, that only the strong can keep the
peace.

Now, I needn't remind you, or my fellow Americans regardless of party, that
Republicans have shouldered this hard responsibility and marched in this
cause before. It was Republican leadership under Dwight Eisenhower that kept
the peace, and passed along to this administration the mightiest arsenal for
defense the world has ever known. And I needn't remind you that it was the
strength and the unbelievable will of the Eisenhower years that kept the
peace by using our strength, by using it in the Formosa Straits and in
Lebanon and by showing it courageously at all times.

It was during those Republican years that the thrust of Communist
imperialism was blunted. It was during those years of Republican leadership
that this world moved closer, not to war, but closer to peace, than at any
other time in the three decades just passed.

And I needn't remind you - but I will - that it's been during Democratic
years that our strength to deter war has stood still, and even gone into a
planned decline. It has been during Democratic years that we have weakly
stumbled into conflict, timidly refusing to draw our own lines against
aggression, deceitfully refusing to tell even our people of our full
participation, and tragically, letting our finest men die on battlefields
(unmarked by purpose, unmarked by pride or the prospect of victory).

Yesterday it was Korea. Tonight it is Vietnam. Make no bones of this. Don't
try to sweep this under the rug. We are at war in Vietnam. And yet the
President, who is Commander-in-Chief of our forces, refuses to say - refuses
to say, mind you, whether or not the objective over there is victory. And
his Secretary of Defense continues to mislead and misinform the American
people, and enough of it has gone by.

And I needn't remind you, but I will; it has been during Democratic years
that a billion persons were cast into Communist captivity and their fate
cynically sealed.

Today in our beloved country we have an administration which seems eager to
deal with communism in every coin known - from gold to wheat, from
consulates to confidence, and even human freedom itself.

Sorry Booby, the economy has come roaring back in spite
of all the Democrat demagoguery. Sure, it will take a year
or two to reverse the damage done by the Clinton/Gore
downturn which happened in the last year they were in
office and which took three years of Republican tax
cuts to turn around. But, only an idiot would attempt
to place the blame for the downturn in the economy on
the current administration. The facts simply will not
bear out that contention.

The economy's rapid growth is already starting the process
to reverse the job losses that occurred during the last
three years. It's really quite sad that you Democrats have
put yourselves into the position on having to deny positive
news in order to attempt to further your agenda of hatred
for President George W. Bush. When any man has to deny
reality in order to not have to reject his failed politics
he is a failed man. It's that simple. It is also a waste of
resources. The very people who decry the sad state of
the economy actually work to attempt to make it so in
the face of facts that prove they are wrong. Not only
do people like you place yourself in a position to not
be able to enjoy the recovery but you deny reality, make
yourself more miserable than you already are, and
become eaten up by hatred because you are proven
incorrect time and time again.

I sure wouldn't wanna live like that . . .

Wal-Mart Tops $1.52 Billion in One Day

Neal, do you actually think that one day erases the damage of the past few
years? Walmart and Target are in a life and death struggle. Sears already died
twice as did K-Mart.
For god's sake, man, our economy is very sick and weak. Brief surges mean
nothing. We need YEARS of boost to recover, not a few days or months.

Sorry Booby, the economy has come roaring back in spite

Bwahahahaha! Roaring back? Bwahahahahahaha! It needs a lot more roaring! The
cuts by large companies are even bigger now than last year!
I know! It's Jimmy Carter's fault!

RB

Hey stupid, why not read some of the good economic news
instead of keeping your fat face shoved in a case of
Big Macs?

See my most recent post to your stupidity down towards
the bottom of the pile. You are even stupider than you
are fat and that's saying a lot.

Johnson and Johnson WAY down overall
Merc down and in trouble
Toys R Us closes stores and will lay off thousands
Verizon makes deal to cut back on payroll
Sales up for the year, but nowhere near the highs during clinton
Euro is SMASHING the dollar
US Auto Market lives off of loans
KMart may not exist in a few more years

Three days of good news doesn't erase 3 years of devastation. You DON'T read
anything. Bush has made a laughing stock of the great USA. Have you no friends
abroad? I have many. Why not check into it?

Excellent news unless you're going to Europe on vacation.
A weak dollar helps with exports and cranks up our
manufacturing sector.

The handful of other idiocy you posted doesn't deserve
comment because stocks rise and stocks fall, companies
like Toys R Us make bad takeovers which result in losses.
It's their fault not the economy's. Same goes for Merck
for putting so much money on drugs that tested as failures.

You didn't read the links I can tell because in one of them
it stated that sales had not done so well since Dec 1983 -
well before Clinton.

Auto sales are doing well, home sales and construction at
all time highs.

You lose! But go ahead and continue to think things are
bad. Go ahead and be an idiot. You only hurt yourself
with your stupidity.

It'll take 10 years to make up for the millions of jobs
lost since Bushy took office.

A lie. All well down since their pre-Bush highs.

Check your figures or read the following:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...2003Nov28.html

Jobs were lost mostly in the manufacturing sector due to increased
efficiency. Profitability is up because dead wood was trimmed off.

It's just like a liberal to think business exists as some sort of
welfare program that must employ more people than needed to get
the job done. Business exist to make money for themselves and
their stock holders. Get used to that fact. That's capitalism and
that's the system we live under. That is the system that made this
country the greatest economic power the world has ever known.

Lost jobs is just another liberal mantra that is as meaningless as
asking where's the WMDs. The only people who care about a
few lost jobs are those who are laid off or fired because they
are no longer needed. Does it ever occur to these people to get
another job? Nah- they're mostly liberal Democrats who think
they are entitled to unemployment benefits because their
overpaid, union jobs were trimmed as unnecessary.

Companies cannot afford to keep on dead weight. During the Reagan boom
(Clinton took credit), companies were willing to hire anyone to fill an
opening without regard to the ability of that person to do the job. This
led to unqualified people (intelligently challenged) being led to
believe they deserve a piece of the "pie". Unfortunately, most companies
cannot afford to keep unproductive people on their payrolls. It's not
like we live in a communist state where everyone has a "so-called" job
(even if they don't work they get their "paycheck"). In the real world
one must work for a living an will only have that job as long as they
produce. Many companies in the tech sector have instituted the "bottom
10%" policy. Every year, the bottom 10% producers get the boot while
they continie to aggressively recruit more productive employees. Doesn't
sound like communism to me. Thank God.

Is Boobspit a communist?

BTW, all my investments are doing great!
