Yesterday, at the “Take Back America Conference” for liberal activists, Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton introduced George Soros with effusive praise.
Then in his remarks Mr. Soros--the billionaire supporter of John Kerry and MoveOn.org--equated the attacks of September 11 to the Abu Ghraib prison abuse and went on to say, “The war on terror has taken more innocent victims than the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.”
Unbelievable.
Abu Ghraib was bad and the soldiers involved are rightly being punished, but for Democrats to say that the abuse of Iraqi fighters is the moral equivalent of the slaughter of 3,000 innocent Americans is outrageous.
Recently, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called President Bush “an incompetent leader,” and said the President has “no judgment, no experience and no knowledge” and that he has the deaths of thousands of soldiers “on his shoulders.”
The hatred of the President by the San Francisco/Boston Democrats--led by John Kerry--is fueling a blame America first mentality that is troubling, and voters will reject it in November!
But their anger won't slow a growing economy, it was announced today that 248,000 new jobs were created in May, meaning more than 1.1 million new jobs have been created this year! Thanks to the President’s leadership our economy is strong, and getting stronger. |

Interesting. I will only comment on your last paragraph about the job numbers. Let me know how you concluded that the job growth is due in fact because of our President’s leadership. If you follow any of the statements made by the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), you will realize that our current job growth is quite dismal when compared with projections which the president’s own economists did just a year ago. After the passage of yet another tax cut, the projections(1) by the CEA in May – June of 2003 was for 5.5 million jobs to be created by the end of 2004 starting in July 2003. That is 306,000 per month starting July 2003 until the end of 2004 (a span of 18 months) Thus, they have projected that 3,366,000 would be created in the last 11 months. What we have in reality, and you can check this by going to the Bureau of Labor Statistics(2) web site is the fact that jobs have grown by 1,365,000—two million fewer jobs than the administration projected would be created by its tax cuts. You tell me whether this is not a failure of their own predictions and policies? Is the job growth really that impressive three years after the recession was declared to be over?
And by the way, the economy needs to create at least 140,000 jobs per month just to keep even with growth in the labor force.
