Mike, That's fine.. we rarely see eye to eye on much anyway. However, I will note the following;
#1 is by a website, not by me, and it's one of the few organizations that actually try to count the dead, not just make estimates as most others have done. #3 is a fact. You may not care for the new brackets and rates, but all tax rates across the board were reduced. #5 how can you debate the bastion of LW rhetoric, the NYT? I mean, come on... if the NYT is actually going to say something good about Bush you have to know it's true. #'s 2 & 4 are far more vague, and we could probably find some common ground there. But regardless, there are so many more negative things about Bush that it hardly makes sense to waste much time on the marginal points. Anyway.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Mike. I need to go stomp around a little in my gas sucking Z28, enjoying this global warming while I can (it's over 70 today... some Christmas :( ).
