 Gephardt Calls Economy Biggest Issue

 

By JIM ABRAMS (Direct descendent of Karl Marx! - tha malcontent)
Associated Press Writer OCTOBER 23, 01:46 ET 

WASHINGTON (AP) � The faltering economy will be the dominant issue in next month's elections and could be a catalyst for ending the Republicans' eight-year hold on the House, Democratic leader Dick Gephardt said Tuesday.

 

(ap) - A "faltering economy"... Well, I beg to differ!  We are going to utilize the Facts and the Truth to shine some light on the LIES that are about to be perpetrated on "the people" in this piece of DNC Talking Point masquerading as "legitimate" and or "objective" economic Wire copy!  I think it is best to quote the AP on the Markets and how "poorly", or NOT, that they are doing under a Bush (43) (A)dministration... "Analysts had expected the market to give back some of its advance, which over the past eight sessions boosted the Dow Jones industrials more than 1,200 points."  In case you didn't know, William the Liar NEVER had a run as good as the one in the previous 2 weeks in his entire 8 year filthing of 1600!  Below are some of the current numbers from the U.S. Department of Labor - Bureau of Labor Statistics on how "bad" our economy is doing and they can be found at: www.bls.gov... Enjoy the Truth that the AP is unwilling to tell you as that it hurts their Party's chances on the 5th!  Instead the AP opts for FREE commercial time for their Party to regurgitate unfounded assertions and blatant lies while hiding, un-Constitutionally, behind the "Free Press" clause of the First Amendment!  Anyway, here are the FACTS... - tha malcontent)

Unemployment Rate 

April 2002 6.0%

May 2002 5.8%

June 2002 5.9%

July 2002 5.9%

August 2002 5.7%

September 2002 5.6% (The AP applauded Clinton and re-elected him with this percentage!)

 

(That's interesting... After the "Clinton/Algore Recession of 2001" was capped off by September 11th and the subsequent destruction of 1/10th of the nation's economic capital's office space, and 3000 human Lives, a Victory in Afghanistan and the DemocRAT party, along with the AP and it's minions beating on the economy on a daily basis, unemployment has actually progressed down to the numbers that "thrusted" Billy into a second term in 1996.  Something tells me that a declining unemployment rate leading into an election cycle with a factually growing economy wasn't covered the same in 1996 as it is being covered today!  Remember, we are "suffering" right now according to the DemocRATS and their "Free Press"!  That reminds me, in October of 2000, after 8 or 9 months of economic declines in the final year of Clinton/Algore, the "Free Press" continued to tell us that the economy was robust, knowing full well that it was teetering on Recession... The very Recession that came one short month after Billy and Fatalbert left office!  Me thinks the AP is choosing sides and them's not supposed to be doing such things! - tha malcontent)


Average Hourly Earnings

April 2002 $ 14.68

May 2002 $ 14.70

June 2002 $ 14.75

July 2002 $ 14.78

August 2002 $14.82

September 2002 $14.87 (What's the minimum wage again?)

 

(I don't believe it!  You mean salaries are increasing too?!?  I would have never guessed!  As far as I was concerned, "soup lines" were forming and I was getting ready to go get in line!  I was starting to think that it was going to get as bad as the "Great (r)ecession" of 1990/91 that we all "suffered" through for two quarters!... Yep, that would be sarcasm!  It amazes me that the AP and the DemocRATS are so easily able to LIE through their teeth about the economy when they have the numbers at their disposal that refute their LIES!... If the SHEEPle weren't so generationally indoctrinated by these Marxist Tryrants!  Little Dick and the AP might as well accuse Bush (43) of orchestrating the 11th, it would be as honest as what they are doing right now in regard to the economy! Here are some more numbers that are much too complicated for a populace who can't even name their own Vice (P)resident to understand, but I will document them anyhoo!  CPI: +0.2% in Sep 2002 / Unemployment Rate: 5.6% in Sep 2002 / Payroll Employment: -43,000(p) in Sep 2002 / Average Hourly Earnings: +$0.05(p) in Sep 2002 / PPI: +0.1%(p) in Sep 2002 / ECI: +1.0% in 2nd Qtr of 2002 / Productivity: +1.5% in 2nd Qtr of 2002 / U.S. Import Price Index: +0.7% in Sep 2002 - tha malcontent)
``I think most Americans are concerned primarily about their economic situations,'' the Missouri Democrat said at a news conference.

 

(No they're not Dick, but if you and your "Free Press" repeat a LIE loud enough, and long enough, it may just become reality! - tha malcontent)

Jobs, wages, pension plans and savings for education ``are the issues that people live with every day and worry about every day,'' he said. ``It's obvious the Republican plan is an absolute failure and has let everyone down in this country."

 

("An absolute failure"?  5.6% unemployment wasn't a "failure" in 1996 when it was a (D) @ 1600!  The simple answer is, Dick is a Liar and the AP is aiding and abetting. - tha malcontent)

Democrats have tried to shift the national focus from terrorism and Iraq, where the Bush administration generally enjoys strong support, to the economy, which has stumbled in the two years since President Bush took office.

 

(We are around THREE years into the economic "stumble" AP and you know this!  It FACTUALLY began in March of 2000 when your boys Billy and Algore were still at the reigns!  ST-ST-ST-ST-STOP LYING!  "They're bitin' what they're writin'... God it's great bein' the King!" - The Ruler's back! - tha malcontent)

Republicans contend that obstructionism in the Democratic-controlled Senate is the main reason that Congress has failed to act on vital issues such as a new Homeland Security Department, prescription drug benefits for senior citizens and energy policy.

 

(This is not a "contention"... It is documented as compared to the previous 3 administrations!  Again, a FACT that the AP is more than aware of, but refuses to inform "the people" properly about, knowing that it can only hurt their DemocRATS on the 5th! - tha malcontent)

House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., responding to Gephardt, said that while Republicans sought to create jobs, ``House Democrats, led by Mr. Gephardt, voted to increase taxes by close to $100 billion. ... When House Republicans voted for tax relief to spur economic stimulus, House Democrats voted for tax increases to spur government growth."

 

(Denny Hastert is the Speaker?!?... I am shocked, SHOCKED!  And all this time I thought it was Dick's House!  Do you smell that DemocRATS?  It's sarcasm again! - tha malcontent)

The Republicans now hold House control by a narrow margin, while the Democrats hold the Senate by a single vote.

 

(Let's rephrase that statement so that it reflects the Truth, shall we!  "The DemocrRATS STOLE the Senate by a single vote" with one traitorous Jimmy-Jammy Jeffords (i) shortly after his state elected him a REPUBLICan, all for the sake of a Committee Chair that he was to lazy to EARN from the Party that elected him!  Jimmy, Uncle Tom, you can kiss my lily white, sizable, cracker ass, right along with the rest of you Leftists in the DemocRAT Party and the "Free Press"! - tha malcontent)

Gephardt said that if Republicans win control of Congress, ``the American people can expect more tax cuts for special interests like Enron.'' He noted that Tuesday was the first anniversary of the GOP-led House voting for a corporate tax repeal that would have returned billions of dollars to corporations, including $254 million to Enron. That legislation ultimately failed.

 

(It's kind of cute how Little Dick and the DemocRATS try to play "Enron" as the boogie man!  Hold me, I'm scared! - tha malcontent)


If Democrats win the House, Gephardt said, they will try to revitalize the economy with short-term investments in school construction and other vital needs, one-time rebates and tax cuts for families and for company investment, a long-term plan to balance the federal budget, protections for people's pensions and an increase in the minimum wage.

 

(Let's break down the Marxism, shall we! 1.) "If Democrats win the House": The BIG "if"!  2.) "They will try to revitalize the economy with short-term investments in school construction and other vital needs..." This is also known as a "tax increase" for the DemocRATS to "take from the haves and give to the have-nots" in exchange for votes!  3.) "One-time rebates and tax cuts for families and for company investment..."  Little Dick's definition of family does not include ALL families, this is FACT!  Only those families that are most likely to be dependent on the 40-50 years of DemocRAT oppression and tyranny, also known as the Great Society!  4.) "A long-term plan to balance the federal budget..." The "balanced budget" was only possible after the 1994 REPUBLICan Revolution.  The DemocRATS were drug kicking and screaming to that one, and then when it worked, like Welfare Reform also did, they act as if they supported it... Because they are LIARS!  5.) "Protections for people's pensions..."  This smells of "HILLARY!Care", but for the Fed to control Corporations!  Do I hear Stalin speaking from the tomb?  6.) "And an increase in the minimum wage."  Again, what is the minimum wage?  I know that the "average" wage in America is about Fid-een dolla an ow-a!  The "minimum wage increase" argument is about throwing crumbs to the Slaves on the part of the DemocRATS!  The sick thing is, the peasants continue taking the crumbs and staying on the Plantations obediently!  It is really pretty sad when you consider that the Plantation's doors have been wide open in America for a very long time now!  Some people must not want to be Free I guess! - tha malcontent)

He said he was very optimistic about Democratic chances in the Nov. 5 election, contending that Democrats were doing a better job than Republicans in mobilizing their core supporters.

 

(Like he, or any other politician for that matter, is going to say otherwise!... PAH-LEEEEEEASE!  Giving this ink is pathetic AP! - tha malcontent)

Gephardt also criticized Bush for the time the president is spending in raising funds for Republican candidates. ``It may be that he is worried they are going to lose this election and he's got to spend 100 percent of his time trying to keep that from happening. But I think everybody would feel better if he would devote at least half of his attention to the problems that people are worried about every day."

 

(Oh sit down and shut up Dick!  No one, I repeat NO ONE spent more time on the campaign trail in the history of the Presidency than did William the Liar!  Just because Bush (43) is better at it, in a shorter time, is no reason to act as if he is better or worse than any other CIC when it comes to campaigning... Except that Bill never took a break for 8 years straight!  Not even during Impeachment!   For the record, Clinton did not visit the World Trade Center after the 1993 bombing, but he was fundraising during that time, post election!  Where was Little Dick then?... Getting the kneepads and re-applying the chap stick, that's where!  Have a nice day children! - tha malcontent)
