Wesley Clark is apparently going to skip the Iowa Caucus and concentrate
on primaries he's more likely to win.  McCain tried this same tactic in
2000.

"Weasley" is not "likely" to win any primaries, as far as we can tell.

We just wanted to make certain that everybody has seen the tremendous 
news about our economic recovery.  It appears the Bush haters have lost 
another issue:

"U.S. economic growth surged in the third quarter at the fastest pace 
in nearly two decades, the government said today, coming in much 
stronger than economists expected.  Gross domestic product, the 
broadest measure of economic activity, grew at a 7.2 percent annual 
rate in the quarter after growing 3.3 percent in the second quarter, 
the Commerce Department reported."

Four more years!

(It appears you have much more confidence in the Democratic candidates 
thatn seems warranted.  Perhaps you have not seen the recent debates.)

The Democratic debates make more sense than Bush's news conferences.

Re233 - Heh. Well. I have to admit I havent seen the most recent 
debates. Still, I cant think of a worse person to be president except 
for certain Mnetters/Grexers but they arent running. Whew. 

I was just listening to an interview with Senator McCain and all I 
could think was that things would have been sooooo much better if he 
had won the nomination. Oh well.

  re #231:  Excellent.  Now that all our economic problems are solved,
  it must be time to lower taxes again!

Mr. mcnally-
You seem to have it backwards.  As we are seeing demonstrated, tax 
reduction solves economic problems.  Not the other way around.

Mr. scott-
It is a well-established principle that employment is a lagging 
economic indicator.  The jobs picture will surely keep improving.

response 239 of 536: Mark Unseen   Oct 30 20:37 UTC 2003

  If there's a problem with the policy I mockingly put forth,
  that's because I was sarcastically stating the Bush
  administration's apparent reasoning on tax policy. 

  I happen to agree with you that their logic is pretty backwards
  but I'm frankly surprised to see you admit it on the record..

#231-- an economic "recovery" on paper doesn't mean anything to 
voters.  What has happened is that companies have shed so many jobs and 
laid so many people off, and downsized so much, that they aren't 
bleeding as much and their bottom lines are looking better.  But that 
doesn't translate into jobs.  If they add jobs, the bottom line will 
look worse again.  

So it isn't about how the economy looks "on paper", its how the economy 
looks to the average working person.  The fact that fortune 500 CEO's 
ad their accounts are breathing easier doesn't mean much to the rest of 
us.  The jobs aren't there.

And you can't call an economy healthy anyway when we are running a huge 
national defecit, a defecit that was all but paid down by the end of 
the Clinton years.  The economy was healthier before Clinton left 
office than it is now and thats a fact.  These last hard years have 
been during the BUSH administration and thats what the voters will 
remember.   Voters, the majority of whom, voted against Bush last time 
anyway.  Or did you forget that Bush LOST the popular vote in this 
country in 2000.

a nearly 7% growth rate is the highest in nearly 20 years.  Cars and housing
sales at record highs and an increase in exports.  Hopefully the jobs will
follow.

Housing sales are due to low interest rates which are due to a poor economy.

I'm glad the economy is improving, and I hope the job market gets better
too.  But I'm not holding my breath.  There are still massive layoffs
and cutbacks going on.  Compuware recently cut some salaries by as much
as 50%.
