    Right you are! Re-elect Bush in 2004!
    That's what makes that comment so fun. It's true no matter what side you are on.

    Most people don't think Bush has been responsible with the lives of american troups though. A lot of dedicated patriotic people join the military to defend their country. We owe it to them to not elect someone who will get so many of them killed for so little.

    Unless you die soon, Bush raised your taxes!

    If you increase spending you are either increasing taxes now or later since all spending is paid for by taxes. Since he didn't increase them now, he essentially increased them later.
