Rich - You can curse people out, but the actual numbers don't lie. From 1959 to 2007 the GDP rose an average of 2.9 % under Republicans and an average of 4.09 % under Democrats... Those are hard numbers, my friend. Unemployment has been higher under Republicans than Democrats, the deficit has been lower under Democrats than Republicans... and those figures include Jimmy Carter, who skews the numbers badly against us.

That's you f'ing history book... read... published... and authorized... Sorry! That's the facts and you can argue all you want... but you can't change the facts.
