95% of Americans were better off during Clinton's 8 years than they are right now.

Edit: You neocons have doomed us all, YOU FOOLS!!!

Vote for Kerry and make this country a better place to live.
Get other countries to help out in the war to give our soldiers a break.
Put money back in the classrooms to give out teachers the tools they need to provide a proper education.
Start paying off the deficit instead of increasing it
Make health care affordable so the young and poor and old can get the treatment they need.

So everybody go out there and do the right thing and vote for Kerry.



Edit:

I just wrote that this morning before work. Mainly just to be flamer but i like to see what people's reaction are here to left or right wing propaganda. Take this post for example. That post was copy paste and this one was just what came to mind when i thought of democrats. But as far as i know the following is true since bush took office

Taxes are lower for almost everybody but mostly upper class
over 1000 troops have died
over 100,000 iraqis have died
a terrible when was removed from power
air force and navy have cut their numbers while the army has increase theirs
our unemployment line is longer
our national debt is higher
Osama is still loose, the leader of the one group we can prove did us wrong
gas prices are way higher
public education is just as bad
college is more expensive
assault weapons are now legal

I dunno seems like more bad than good to me

I'm guessing these are the talking points you were given in class yesterday. Congrats on regurgitating them so well. Not many people can pull off talking in bullet format.....but you manage it nicely.

fix your thread title. It should read:

95% of all statistics were better off during Clinton's presidency which has nothing to do with Kerry's candidacy so get out and vote for who I say to because my stupid opinion counts!

What kind of poll was this taken? I can tell you that in the last 4 years I have been able to buy my own home. I have more money in my pocket than I had 5 years ago, I have recieved tax benefits for having a child. Do I fit in that 5%?

Yeah but typing in bullet format is fine so unless you have some computer voice reciting these threads for you I don't know what the problem is...

First this OP is unsubstantiated so I'm not trying to defend it. But in any study you'd want to take into account that you are apparently a young person. For example, it would be silly to look at college students 8 years ago and say they are better off now because they make some money as compared to none 8 years ago. I'm not saying you couldn't be better off now but you'd have to compensate for factors that have nothing to do with the presidency (like your age).

well you can count my family and myself out of that made up 95%.. we're far better off now than we were during clinton's years... we even had less expenses then.. but with the tax cuts and the pay increases we're far better off now...

Good point, although I was already in the working force 4 years ago....

Even more realiztically, the topic should say - 95% of Americans were better off during the greatest economic boom this nation has ever experienced

Duh!

It would be pretty simple to cherry-pick numbers from, say, the Carter admin, compare them to the Bush economy and claim "This is why you shouldn't vote Kerry."

Doing so would have about as much meaning as picking numbers from the Clinton era.

Osama said he wants to bankrupt America. That suggests he wants you to vote for Bush. Also, I can't think of a bigger terrorist organization than the Bush administration.

I'm better off too, and I did pretty well during the Clinton years.

Damn, there sure are a lot of 5 percenters in here. ;)

The fact that Osama can MAKE that statement means the job is not done. I want someone who will get the job done and stop feeding us bs.

Yup, Kerry is Osama's guy....

Guess I don't fall into that 95 percentile....also good luck getting other countries into the war to assist, and the only money going anywhere will be into Teddy K's pockets....

Look at Mass Kerry's home state as an example, we have the most expensive health care in the country....the only thing going up will be the upper middle, middle and the wealthy's tax rate....
