4. If you'll look on back to Lincoln, you'll see more of the same!
Recession and depression! Even another stolen election by Brig. General Rutherford Birchard Hayes in 1876! The Bushistas had read their history books when they pulled the 2000 election theft!

U S Grant?

Grant is often accused of failing as a president because of the many scandals and the corruption that marked his presidency. The federal government's corruption was, for the most part, due to the spoils system. Because Grant was unwise in his appointments within the federal government, many of those under him proved themselves untrustworthy. Although Grant was not personally involved in any of these scandals, he is blamed because he stood by those people.

One of the most serious scandals occurred in the summer of 1869. Jay Gould and James Fisk, among others, bought all of the gold available in New York City at the time, and they planned to force bankers and businessmen into buying gold from them at inflated prices. However, this plan to corner the gold market was defeated on September 24, a day that became known as Black Friday. Secretary of the Treasury George S. Boutwell reported to Grant that the scandal was creating a financial panic. This message forced President Grant to make one of the most important decisions of his presidency; he ordered Boutwell to sell four million dollars of government gold to end the panic. This decision was not only one of Grant's most important, but one of his wisest.

There were numerous other scandals in the government at this time. Many Congressmen accepted bribes in the form of stock in railroad in return for votes in favor of the Union Pacific Railroad. Another example is the Secretary of War's involvement in Indian Agency frauds. Another was the Whiskey Ring scandal, which involved Grant's own private secretary. In this scandal a group of distillers and tax officers defrauded the U.S. Treasury of revenue taxes paid on whiskey. These scandals greatly contributed to Grant's tarnished reputation as a president.

5. I have never understood why democrats don't hammer the job creation
record under republican presidents. Or that since Kennedy was president the deficit is always much larger under republican presidents. Or that the stock market does better under democratic presidents than republican (this is true without considering 1997-2003). I think all three are related.

There is one other purely objective measurement of the differences between democrat and republican presidents. The number of members of the administration who get indicted.

6. They also need to articulate the reason WHY
which is that the GOP takes care of a very, very small number of people. They are the party of the ultra-special interests.
