Do you mean the "BROKEN" economy that grew last quarter at 3.4%? The same economy that grew in your hero Bill Clinton's first quarter of his second term - which everyone raved about - at 3.3%? It's always interesting to note the GREAT Bill Clinton economy and the bad George Bush economy. Of course Clinton had a lot more hidden money coming into the US economy from the Red Chinese military intelligence. The problem was that it was going into the White House first in paper bags carried by Al Gore. |

Hmm, they also had the same sort of contracts with Clinton's administration in Bosnia. There are basically three companies in the world that can do jobs of that natu Halliburton - a services company, Bectel - an engineering company and Schlumberger - a French company. Bectel was awarded a non-bid contract as well. Perhaps you'd have been hapier with Schlumberger bidding? |

Or maybe you're too young to remember 14% inflation, jobs falling like ten pins and Carter sitting in the White House and twiddling his thumbs while Iran was holding American hostages and laughing in our faces. Maybe you ought to go back to Greg's posting and read it a couple of times and then look in the mirror. |

Well OK. If you believe the economy has been robust during the Bush administration, that's alright with me. I wont try to dissuade you. For my part, I wont try to argue that Bush is entirely responsible for the economy regardless of whether you think he deserves blame or credit. Fair enough? -- -------------------- Remove CLOTHES to reply |

Schlumberger hasn't been a French company since 1940, and even prior to that most of their business was conducted in the US. But hey, if being started by Frenchmen makes a company French, then you better stop buying Champion spark plugs, and AC Delco parts, since both companies were started by French cyclist Albert Champion.

Nor is he willing to hold anyone else responsible for anything. It is a damning combination. John Kerry may flip-flop, but at least he realizes that circumstances change and sometimes require changed policies. He doesn't cowardly flee at the first mention of accountability."

It's exactly what he said about Carter! I KNEW Kerry sounded familiar! On top of everything else, turns out that Kerry is a Ronald Reagan impersonator. Thanks for pointing this out! Did you have a point? That politicians sometimes say ludicrous stuff for political reasons, or don't even remember all of what they've said? So what? I would not bother to take the time to verify your claim. I'm more concerned with the foundations of their ideology (since a play-by-play scorecard is impractical). On that score, I cannot vote for socialist John Kerry. To do so would be anti-thetical to the very foundations of our country, which is all about individualism. We've strayed. |

Yeah, now we have socialism for the upper classes (and of course the Post Office thing). Kerry is more antithetical to the very foundations of our country than Bush? --TP |
