Bush Blasts Democrats on Economic Issues

President Bush, trying to regain his political footing ahead of this year's critical midterm elections, asserted Friday "the difference is clear" between the two parties on how to sustain the U.S. economic recovery.

"If you want the government in your pocket vote Democrat," Bush said. "If you want to keep more of your hard earned money vote Republican." (If on the other hand you want the government in your bedroom, in your uterus, in your church, in your mail, on your phone, in your search engine and perpetual war then by all means....VOTE REPUBLICAN! )

He made one of his strongest appeals yet for making permanent various tax cuts due to expire within several years.

Speaking at a fundraiser for GOP Rep. Mike Sodrel in what may be one of the closest races in the country, Bush attempted to draw a sharp contrast between the two parties' economic policies.

"We've got a record to stand on," Bush said. (Yeah, record deficits, a war based on a lie, 2300 + dead soldiers, multibillion no bid contracts to Halliburton, illegal wire tapping, Tom Delay, Abramhoff, etc, etc, etc. See 100 more FACTS on their record here.)

But he said the Democratic record consisted of "loud noises" and votes against tax cuts. (Such a bad plan to actually match revenue with spending. Dumb Democrats. They obviously didn't graduate from the Bush school of Business. Meanwhile Bush pushed for 23.5 billion in corporate tax breaks which benefited major campaign contributors, we have a record deficit under Bush, tax audits for the working poor have been increased, the social security surplus has been spent. Yeah, there's a clear choice alright.)
