http://www.huffingtonpost.com/donnie-fowler/historians-bush-the-wors_b_11685.htmlAn overwhelming 338 of 415 historians polled by George Mason University said Friday that George W. Bush is failing as a president. And fifty of them rated Bush as the worst president ever.

PerryLogan said:Hmmm. The "Dems' failure"? Do tell.
You might want to touch base with reality once in a while, my friends. We're the ones who paid off your world-record-shattering deficit, remember? Our guy turned it into the biggest SURPLUS in American history. Your guy promptly blew it, creating a bigger deficit than all previous Presidents combined.
That's some kinda Democratic failure, huh?

Along with the historians, 70+% of Americans now realize this is the Worst Adminstration Ever™, the Worst Congress Ever™, Most Incompetent Government Ever™, Most Corrupt Government in Galactic History™, etc., etc.
The Republican Party is destroying itself far better than the Democrats--or anyone else--could ever have done. But you still think their future is secure. If we had a healthcare system, I'd suggest you seek help.
http://baltimorechronicle.com/2006/021306Roberts.shtmlJob growth over the last five years is the weakest on record....
US manufacturing lost 2.9 million jobs, almost 17% of the manufacturing work force. The wipeout is across the board. Not a single manufacturing payroll classification created a single new job.
The declines in some manufacturing sectors have more in common with a country undergoing saturation bombing during war than with a super-economy that is “the envy of the world.” Communications equipment lost 43% of its workforce. Semiconductors and electronic components lost 37% of its workforce. The workforce in computers and electronic products declined 30%. Electrical equipment and appliances lost 25% of its employees. The workforce in motor vehicles and parts declined 12%. Furniture and related products lost 17% of its jobs. Apparel manufacturers lost almost half of the work force. Employment in textile mills declined 43%. Paper and paper products lost one-fifth of its jobs. The work force in plastics and rubber products declined by 15%. Even manufacturers of beverages and tobacco products experienced a 7% shrinkage in jobs.
The knowledge jobs that were supposed to take the place of lost manufacturing jobs in the globalized “new economy” never appeared. The information sector lost 17% of its jobs, with the telecommunications work force declining by 25%. Even wholesale and retail trade lost jobs. Despite massive new accounting burdens imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley, accounting and bookkeeping employment shrank by 4%. Computer systems design and related lost 9% of its jobs. Today there are 209,000 fewer managerial and supervisory jobs than 5 years ago.
We're the ones who paid off your world-record-shattering deficit, remember?
PerryLogan said:Sure they were--after the longest economic expansion in American history, 22 million new jobs, highest home ownership in American history, lowest unemployment in 30 years, the largest expansion of college opportunity since the GI Bill, the lowest crime rate in 26 years, lowest poverty rate in 20 years, the smallest welfare rolls in 32 years, lowest teen birthrate in 60 years, etc. Don't bother to thank us.
I think we should make the Republicans stay in power till they do something right. It's gotta happen sometime!
Here's some sweet grape kool-aid for ya--from that raving lib, Paul Craig Roberts:

He's a slow learner--but evidently faster than you.
You've shown alot of things that happened, but nowhere do I see what Clinton did to MAKE anything happen....Where are the bills and laws and contracts that were signed that made these things take effect?....PerryLogan said:Thank you!
You see? It's not hard at all. Just takes a little courage.
Come on...let's try it. Let's thank Bill Clinton for:
Longest economic expansion in American history--a record 115 months of economic expansion
More than 22 million new jobs: more than 22 million jobs were created in less than eight years -- the most ever under a single administration
Highest home ownership in American history
Made the Federal government smaller (a feat matched only by Harry Truman; if you like small government, vote Democratic)
Lowest unemployment in 30 years: unemployment dropped from more than 7 percent in 1993 to just 4.0 percent in November 2000; unemployment for African Americans and Hispanics fell to the lowest rates on record, and the rate for women was the lowest in more than 40 years
Largest expansion of college opportunity since the GI Bill
Connected 95 percent of schools to the Internet
Lowest crime rate in 26 years.
Family and Medical Leave Act for 20 million Americans
Smallest welfare rolls in 32 years
Higher incomes at all levels: after falling by nearly $2,000 between 1988 and 1992, the median family's income rose by $6,338, after adjusting for inflation; all income brackets experienced double-digit growth; the bottom 20 percent saw the largest income growth at 16.3 percent
Lowest poverty rate in 20 years: the poverty rate declined from 15.1 percent to 11.8 percent in 1999--the largest six-year drop in poverty in nearly 30 years
Lowest teen birth rate in 60 years
Lowest infant mortality rate in American history
Deactivated more than 1,700 nuclear warheads from the former Soviet Union: efforts of the Clinton-Gore Administration led to the dismantling of more than 1,700 nuclear warheads, 300 launchers and 425 land and submarine based missiles from the former Soviet Union
Paid off $360 billion of the national debt: under Clinton, we were on track to pay off the entire debt by 2009; what a difference a stolen election makes...
Converted the largest budget deficit in American history to the largest surplus
Lowest government spending in three decades
Lowest federal income tax burden in 35 years
More families owned stock than ever before
Most New Jobs Ever Created Under a Single Administration: Republicans really chew the rug when you mention this one, so it's worth repeating constantly
Median Family Income Up $6,000 since 1993
Unemployment at Its Lowest Level in More than 30 Years
Highest Home ownership Rate on Record
7 Million Fewer Americans Living in Poverty
Largest Surplus Ever
Lower Federal Government Spending: after increasing under the previous two administrations, federal government spending as a share of the economy was cut from 22.2 percent in 1992 to 18 percent in 2000--the lowest level since 1966
The Most U.S. Exports Ever: between 1992 and 2000, U.S. exports of goods and services grew by 74 percent, or nearly $500 billion, to top $1 trillion for the first time
Lowest Inflation since the 1960s: inflation was at the lowest rate since the Kennedy Administration, averaging 2.5 percent, down from 4.6 percent during the previous administration
The child poverty rate declined more than 25 percent
The poverty rate for single mothers was the lowest ever
The African American and elderly poverty rates dropped to their lowest level on record
The Hispanic poverty rate dropped to its lowest level since 1979
etc., etc.
All together now:
"THANK YOU, BILL!"

PerryLogan said:You guys are weaseling now. You're squirming like a can of worms.
It's like this: the Democrats have a resume...the Republicans don't. The only people who don't know this by now are slow learners.
Showing signs of desperation, Cnredd even says I'm short-changing the Hispanics. Verily, liberals are wicked: even when they do good things, it proves they're bad.
Is this what passes for logic amongst the right? No wonder you screw up all the time.
Maybe Cnredd can explain why the Hispanics (& everyone else in America) suddenly, uh, lost their wonderful initiative once your guy got into power. I'm guessing this was the liberals's fault, too.
GySgt, you go to bed without dinner tonight. You are not worthy to lick Bill Clinton's boots.
PerryLogan said:& a great point it was, my friend. But you're overfocussing just a bit & missing the forest for the trees. This seems to be a problem at this forum.
May I note that, whereas I supplied a veritable cornucopia of facts & figures proving the awesomeness of the Clinton Administration, the best our right-wing brethren can do is one niggling little stat or two--probably cooked at that?
"Ha!" I say!
These isolated figures creating the momentary illusion that the Bush Adminstration has done a single thing right are desperate efforts by proponents of a dying party, don't you agree?
Not to be rude, but Republicans have a documented track record of cooking up whatever stats they need, in the same way they cook intelligence, ignore science, & screw up the media.
We Dems don't need to cook our stats, because we have a legion of accomplishments to our credit.
The next time you read the contents on a can of food, thank a Democrat.
The next time you fasten your seatbelt, thank a Democrat.
The next time you attend a major state university, thank a Democrat.
The next time you use the Freedom of Information Act...thank a Democrat.
But I certainly won't hold my breath.
Question: If the Right are so great, why are they pathologically afraid to give liberals credit for their huge list of accomplishments?
Answer: Because everything the Right has ever done has failed! That's what they're hiding from when they overfocus on their bogus little stats. It's sad, watching them fade away like that...
GySgt said:Accomplishments?.........
Beginning with the loss of control of the House of Representatives in the mid-term election in Clinton's first term, progressively, over the next six years the socialist-Lib-Dems lost control of the Senate and the Presidency. During the next four years, the Republicans increased their margin in both the House and Senate, and won a second term for the Presidency.
Having been drubbed at the polls in six elections over ten years, despite the fact that registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans, the socialist-Lib-Dems have nothing left to lose. So, they concentrate on a single, pointed, strategy. That is to do anything and everything in their power to make the Administration look bad. With the mainstream media on their side, they pound away at the President's every move, every word, every policy, regardless of the consequences. What they fail to understand is that their ultra-liberal policies and practices no longer resonate with the electorate as once they did.
This is nothing new. The same antics, in the late 60s, prolonged the Viet Nam business by several years and about twenty thousand US KIA. Our Democratic Liberal left will cry out for “peace” and declare their well intentions to every service man, but underneath it all, they only care about the presidency. They do not care that their constant undermining of the Republican President, in the name of Party unison, will further this war and make the effort all the more difficult. Their insistence for deadlines and complete publication of any and every scandal they can drum up only serves to place obstacles in the way of every American that carries a rifle against our enemy - of whose "rights" are of deep concern to our Liberal masses.
So much for imagined accolades and "accomplishments."
A rhetorical question if I ever heard one--& elegantly stated, may I say. I especially appreciate it when righties use their spell-checkers.
& their grammar-checkers.
& their obscenity-catchers.
& their thesauri.
& their right-wing disinformation filters.
You're a cheeky one, Ivan. Not only do you not bother to thank us...you go ahead & try to take credit for a Congress that dug in its heels at every turn. Go ahead--help yourself, pal. We'll wait till you're finished.
Maybe Cnredd can explain why the Hispanics (& everyone else in America) suddenly, uh, lost their wonderful initiative once your guy got into power. I'm guessing this was the liberals's fault, too.
I've learned from this thread that liberals are decrepit, immoral, infected by dishonesty; liberals want to destroy the free market (if GWB doesn't kill it first); liberals only care about their party; liberals don't give a tiny shred of a damn about anybody.
Getting back to reality. I came here, nice as can be, & posted a humongous list of awesome Democratic accomplishments.
Right. But no one can do this because there are no Republican accomplishments.
A few years of Republican power have made this obvious to everyone but the Republicans themselves.
