wow... that is an amazing list. I can't believe anyone who knows these facts could ever vote for him.
I know I certainly couldn't...

Yeah, many of these "facts" are mighty misleading. Such as:
- "I attacked and took over 2 countries."
Both have been turned back over to their citizens.
- "I spent the U.S. surplus and bankrupted the US
Treasury."
Much of the "surplus" was projected. When economic growth failed to outpace the growth of government spending and entitlement programs, the deficit increased.
- "I set an economic record for the most personal
bankruptcies filed in any 12 month period."
Within three months after 9/11, one million jobs were lost.
- ".After taking the entire month of August off for
vacation, I presided over the worst security
failure in US history."
You can thank your democrat friends Torriceli & Kerry for gutting intelligence. Also Jamie Gorelick for building the wall between intelligence and law enforcement so they couldn't share information. I hope protecting Clinton and his Chinese Campaign doners were worth it. And ironically enough, she was on the 9/11 commission!!!
- ".In my first two years in office over 2 million
Americans lost their jobs."
In reality, 2.4 million jobs were created under Bush. The poll that the Democrats keep refering to doesn't include those that are self employed or employed by small businesses.
- ".I presided over the biggest energy crises in US
history and refused to intervene when corruption
was revealed."
Are you refering to high gas prices? The gas prices are high because of supply and demand. No new refineries have been built in over 20 years, plus there has been increased world demand. Hardly Bush's fault.
- ".I set the all-time record for most real estate
foreclosures in a 12-month period. "
Another factor in this was the economic downturn that began in March 2000, plus the fact that the Y2K inspired tech bubble burst. Don't need throngs of Y2K programmers after Y2K now, do we?
- "I was AWOL from the National Guard and deserted
the military during time of war."
Funny how the report was in 14 point Times Roman print. I didn't know those old IBM typewriters had those kind of font selection.
- ".I rendered the entire United Nations irrelevant.
I withdrew from the World Court of Law."
We have a constitution for a reason. And the UN is irrelevant. It was supposed to be a forum where nations of the world could talk, NOT be a world government.
I could go on and on and on, but you get the point. ;)
