* - "See, they are genetically disposed to raise your taxes,"
Bush campaigns on pocketbook issues
By JENNIFER LOVEN, Associated Press Writer
28 minutes ago


SARASOTA, Fla. - President Bush appealed on Tuesday to voters keeping tabs on their pocketbooks, saying Democrats would raise their taxes by $500 for every child that sits at the kitchen table if the party gets control of Congress.

snip...
"See, they are genetically disposed to raise your taxes," Bush said to laughter and applause from Republican donors at a $375,000 fundraiser for Republican House candidate Vern Buchanan.

"If you're sitting around a dinner table and there's two children, your taxes just went up $1,000 if they take control. If you've got three children at the dinner table, your taxes went up by $1,500," the president said.

snip...
"I think they may be measuring the drapes," Bush joked to the crowd gathered at a convention center. "If their electoral predictions are as reliable as their economic predictions, Nov. 7 is going to be a good day for the Republicans."

2. And then they'll eat your children and tax you for the dinner
Notice how they say all of these things and have zero proof. Point to a bill a proposal a statement, from any Democrat stating these intentions? Nope nothing. They just wave taxes and immigrants like they're the boogey men. That's all they ever talk about in their commercials. They have nothing but very old lies.

8. I don't think he has room to talk about accurate predictions
economic and otherwise. Shit, I don't think he has room to speak of accurate anything.

So... if you want to save $500 per child so he can send them off to die, then go ahead I guess.

9. Well, thanks to the bush dynasty, we are ALL facing a HUGE TAX......
Edited on Tue Oct-24-06 04:08 PM by Double T
BILL that looks SOMETHING like THIS:

U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK

The Outstanding Public Debt as of 24 Oct 2006 at 08:58:23 PM GMT is:

The estimated population of the United States is 300,058,786
so each citizen's share of this debt is $28,514.99.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.60 billion per day since September 30, 2005!
Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House!


The longer 'WE' have bushco and the rethugs at the controls of our nation, the worse things will become!!
