[Hoot Gibson]

If you are suggesting that Democrats (majority 2006) were to "blame" for the economic mess of Bush policies (primarily two simultaneous wars with NO call to sacrifice, while maintaining tax cuts), then your political acumen matters. Frankly, I did NOT mean to imply that Republicans were primarily to blame, nor even the Bush administration, but rather a certain hysteria and rush to judgement that followed 9/11. Acument matters, Hoot.

I did not imply anything, CM. I drew attention to a deliberate or extremely careless factual error in your opening post. An error that you have still not acknowledged (which suggests that the error was indeed deliberate).

Anybody who wants to judge to what extremes a socialist will go to make a point needs to read your last post and then read the opening post. You apparently think that your fellow posters are fools, but you are a fool to treat us as such.

I suggest that you just let this thread die a merciful death because the hole at whose bottom you find yourself grows deeper with every post that you make. When you dig a deep hole, it is important to get out before somebody starts to fill it in. :popcorn:
