You bunch of tree huggin ECOnomists. Go back to russia Comrads!
Bye!
Economics is a long range crap shoot and is certainly not an exact science. It takes four to five years for policies to trickle through. There is a lot of inertia, for want of a better word.
That means that if Bush does everything right, then we would just start to be seeing the effects of that now. Just like we were starting to see the affects of Clinton's policies (or rather lack of action) as he left office.

I really really do not understand you Democrats. I am a Libertarian. I am going to be voting for Badnarik next month. Not Bush. Not Kerry. But if I had to vote with party had the most hate filled rhetoric, it would have to be the Democrats.
You're going to "fight back now"? You're "not gonna take it"? Who are you, Twisted Sister? What the fuck have you been doing the last four years, just warming up? I have never seen so much absolute hatred for one man ever in my life than I have seen with the Democrats hating Bush. You guys have lost all rationality because the hatred leaves no room for it. You almost quiver in the intensity of your hatred.
I was at a party two years ago where a man went into a shouting rage because he caught a glimpse of Bush on the television. (Hey, if you can go off on irrelevant tangents, so can I!) His quote, as near as I can remember, was "oh my god he's wearing a fucking cowboy hat does he think he's a fucking cowboy oh my god!" He then went around grabbing people by the shoulders and pointing them towards the television so that they could see the cowboy hat too. At another gathering (still off topic) a man said "someone should put all of the Republican's out of their misery". Advocating murder! When I pointed out to him that not a half hour before he said he was ashamed of his mother being a Republican, he backed off. Apparently it's okay to kill Republicans as long as they're not your mom! Last year I went on a vacation. (yup, like you, I'm still off topic) I got to a friend's house, a Democrat. When I asked him about Dean, he went off on a tirade shouting about how Bush was evil. Let me repeat, I asked about Dean and he starts yelling about Bush.
You probably don't see this hatred because you're right in the middle of it. But it's there. Ask anyone but a Democrat and they will point it out to you. You need go no further than the Slashdot political section to see it. Please note that I am *NOT* saying Republicans are acting Emily Post, because they certainly are not. But you Democrats definitely tip the scales in the rudeness department.
Now here you come full of just as much hate. You start off trying to calmly explain why I could be mistaken for a Bush supporter (in summary, because I didn't excoriate another suspected Bush supporter), but after a few rational sentences you suddenly leap off the deep end and begin doing the Twisted Sister impersonation, and finish off talking about terrorists voting for Bush!
Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!
Not only that, but they polluted the HELL out of their country while they were struggling to keep us from spending them to death. I know, I was their in 1988 and it was a joke.
The leftists forget about that. They are intellectually dishonest when they talk about how much they respected Soviet policies. Their environment was and is a total disaster. Kyoto will not make a dent in it.
I guess the commies and the environmentalists are just another example of the balkanized "base" of the left. Like inner city African-Americans vs. teachers unions, gun-owning union members vs. anti-gun forces, etc.
