It was that a long time ago.

Also, why do you think Democrat Presidents have created millions and millions more jobs than Republican Presidents? Honest question.

First off, Presidents don't create jobs, they just take credit for them.

keep dreaming or provide a link

also, how many of those jobs created during Clinton happened after the 1994 GOP takeover of Congress, how many were a result of the tech boom and how many were lost when the tech bubble burst?

Steelworker Featured at DNC Didn’t Work for Bain - ABC News

The Democratic National Convention on Wednesday featured three speakers billed as “former employees of companies controlled by Bain Capital.”

They each told compelling stories about jobs lost, allegedly because of the actions of Bain under Romney’s leadership.
But it turns out one of those employees never actually worked for a company controlled by Bain Capital.
David Foster was supposedly one of those former employees on the convention schedule. He told the story about 750 steelworkers who lost their jobs when the Bain-controlled company GST steel filed for bankruptcy in the early 1990s.

But Foster, according to a former spokesman for GST Steel, never actually worked for the company.
“David Foster was never an employee of GST Steel’s Kansas City plant. He was employed by the United Steelworkers of America as their regional union director to represent GST Steel, but was not employed at our facility,” according to BC Huselton, who was head of HR at GST.
Instead, Foster was a union organizer, who negotiated for workers that did work for the company.

Good thing Al Gore invented the Internet so Clinton could enjoy the ride on a massive bubble only to pop exactly when Bush took office

Damn. Really?

The more you post, the more you lose credibility. You are the first person I have ever heard call Eastwood's speech a "homerun".

Sorry guys, had more important things to do last night. Romney is more of a "conservative" than Barry is. At least he is a capitalist. I firmly believe that he will point this country in a better direction. He has proposed a flat tax, he has sworn to repeal Barrycare (and it will be a replacment not a repeal only), and I believe his administration will be at least translucent if not transparent.

Sounds exactly like Obama four years ago. I guess you don't see that though.

I don't believe that voting in a presidential election constitutes selling ones soul however so I wouldn't go that far. And yes, I will vote for Romney instead of GJ to save a buck, and 10 of my kids bucks, and 1000 of my grandkids bucks. If you are firm in your belief that voting your conscious is the thing you need to do, then go right ahead. I am not trying to convince you to do otherwise. I am simply making a statement about voting a 3rd party. When we have finally gone the way of the Motherland and have a parliament and a prime minister/president elected by the parliament as an aggregate of 5 or 6 parties, then it will be somewhat important to vote "your" party, but as long as the 3rd party has not a chance in hell of winning this election, I am going to vote for what I perceive to be the lesser of two evils.

And thus the vicious cycle will start all over again with none of our problems being fixed.

Presidents of either party very rarely ever create private sector jobs. In fact, they very rarely ever have anything to do with the economy while they are in office. Furthermore, one could argue that a given President has more impact on the economy of his successor than he does his own economy.

Yes, I saw through it. I didn't believe it when he was spouting it. That's the difference. I didn't vote for him, won't vote for him, and won't vote for someone that has not the first chance in hell of winning because I refuse to let the ship sink while taking the moral high ground. When you vote for someone you know is going to lose, it's real easy to point fingers.

And thus the vicious cycle will start all over again with none of our problems being fixed.

The thing is, you refuse to even give Romney one shred of credit that he just might make things better than they are now. That he might just slow that debt clock and maybe by year 3 or 4 have it going in the other direction. And this is simply because it isn't the guy you "want" in the WH. You have run out of arguments and never actually had one against Romney to begin with. Back up your ridicule with hard facts and numbers of what he will actually do as president and then I might listen. But you can't because he hasn't been there yet. The problem is you can't with your guy cause he won't be there.
