I take no joy (OK well maybe a little) in linking to this report that shows that the number of Americans living in poverty “increased by 1.3 million last year, while the ranks of the uninsured swelled by 1.4 million”. The reason I take any joy at all is that hopefully people will take notice and call Bush on all the garbage he’s been spewing about how the economy is doing just great. In terms of the election, this report is bad news for Bush and good news for Kerry.

It drives me absolutely crazy when I’m explaining to a Republican why I don’t like George Bush and they come back with “Well, I suppose you think Bill Clinton was the best president ever” with a big sarcastic roll of the eyes.
Well, yeah, I kinda do. In my humble opinion, he’s at least the best president we’ve had since I have been alive. He was a WAY better president than this loser we have now, and the only reason they feel they can make that jab is because of the Monica Lewinsky thing. Whatever. I could care less about that whole fiasco. He did so many good things while he was in office - the economy was strong and our country was safer (he didn’t ignore warning after warning like SOMEBODY I could name).
And the argument that Dubya is a better role model is absolute garbage. Let’s see what makes this guy a better role model:
1) Got arrested for drunk driving
2) Has admitted to using drugs
3) Was basically a deserter when he “served” in the military
4) Lied to his country and the world and got us into a war we can’t get out of
Hmmm. Now, what makes Bill Clinton, according to them a “less than perfect” role model? A blowjob in the Oval Office.
Republicans sure have their priorities straight.
