Stu,
How soon Republicans forget. Reagan built a false bottom economy not a strong one. We are still paying the price of his de-regulation policies. NAFTA, Savings & Loan, Airlines, Trucking, etc. Republicans just don't get it. Big business needs to be watched over because top Execs are worse crooks than politicians. Have you also forgotten the recent Corp scandals? We could fill a page with those. And the republicans just look the other way.

As for the "War on Terrorism" let's get on with it. But don't blindly believe all that Bush and Rumsfeld are feeding you. Iraq and al Quada are two different problems. al Quada should have been taken care of first, they are the threat. Iraq was and is a diversion for Bush to cover his butt on domestic issues. And most recent, why did Bush quietly let the ban on assault weapons expire? The truth.. because both Republicans and Democrats lacked the guts to oppose the NRA. Even Kerry only jumped on that band wagon after it was already a dead issue. If you want facts, believe this, the inner beltway is so screwed up that both parties working in harmony couldn't get it right in a month of Sundays.
