1. In 2008, we lost an average of 317,250 private sector jobs per month. In 2010, we have gained an average of 95,888 private sector jobs per month. That's a difference of nearly five million jobs between Bush's last year in office and President Obama's second year.

Bubby you DemoRats over promised and under delivered and the American people will make you pay a price for it.Just remember YES WE DID elect a idiot.Bubby let me ask you a question. Was it a Democrat or Republican that told Obama to shove it ?
@anon 9:53:
Bubby has asked four very specific questions.
Why don't you address those?
Along the same lines.... David Frum asked Tea Party people and Sanity rally people the same questions... who knew more?

Bubby you will see some real CHANGE tomorrow.When your DemoRAT reps get thrown out.You still have never answered my question are you helping Perriello like you promised you would.
You know, ignorant, arrogant and scared is how George Bush and the Republican Party got America into the mess we're in. Why would we want to go back?
2. In FY2009, which began on September 1, 2008 and represents the Bush Administration's final budget, the budget deficit was $1.416 trillion. In FY2010, the first budget of the Obama Administration, the budget deficit was $1.291 trillion, a decline of $125 billion. Yes, that means President Obama has cut the deficit -- there's a long way to go, but we're in better shape now than we were under Bush and the GOP.

Bubby if what the DemoRATS are pushing is so great then please explain to me why so many DemoRATS keep talking about IN THIS POLITICAL CLIMATE ? Also why are they DemoRATS going to lose the House ?
OMG Bubby what a hoax you are trying to sell.If Obama lowered the deficit please tell me why they voted to raise the debt limit to 14 trillion then ? You DemoRATS are really big liars.
Party of Lincoln huh? This kind of thing is why I left the Republican Party. They have lost their moral bearings.
"Not only has John Boehner recruited, embraced, and financed a disgraced Nazi enthusiast running for Congress, but now Boehner is pouring gasoline on the fire by holding a campaign rally with him. Unbelievably, this comes on the heels of John Boehner also embracing an Ohio congressional candidate being sued for attempted rape and sexual assault, and another who has ties to an organized crime syndicate that brands women like cattle.

Paul Miller do you really want to talk about candidates having shady associates ? If so we can start with the DemoRATS.
Lowell, isn't there something that you can do to keep this anonymous asshole off your site? He's a delusional moron who just makes your site look bad with his immature comments and petty rants.
Hi Don;
She isn't just an anonymous asshole, she's another Republican voter - a reliable tool. A proud "independent" rusty bucket willing to carry someone else's water. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Paul is correct! Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner (R-Spray Tan) campaigned last weekend with his boy, Schutzstaffe (SS) Nazi wannabee Richard Iott. Heckuva job Boehner!
However, the effort failed. Richard Iott was defeated tonight. Marcy Kaptur kicked his Nazi worshipping die kiste.
Bubby your beloved Tom Perriello just got his pink slip.
Bubby thank you for helping Perriello you did a great job just like you did in 2009.You must have been helping Boucher also.Keep up the great work Bubby.
3. On Bush's final day in office, the Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 closed at 7,949, 1,440, and 805, respectively. As of October 29, 2010, they were at 11,108, 2,512, and 1,183. That means since President Obama took office, the Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 have increased 40%, 74%, and 47%, respectively.
Bubby face the facts the American people are NOT buying what you DemoRATS are selling.Even a trip from Obama to Charlottesville couldn't save Tom Perriello.The 5th district had a 10,000 vote swing in only two years thats quite a CHANGE in two years.
How will these Teaparty people react when their candidates and the Republicans have to raise the debt ceiling again in a few weeks? Rightwing voters are about to see that they got taken for a ride. What a bunch of chumps!
Doug they won't vote to raise the debt ceiling even if the Democrats say the sky is falling.It just won't happen they were elected to cut spending.
Going to cut what? The time for election talk is over, what is the Republican plan to eliminate the deficit and the need to raise the debt limit? I think this is what Bubby is pointing out, you bought a load of rightwing crap again.
Across the board and before you even ask that includes Defense but more so the waste in Dept.of education needs to be first.Now you DemoRATS will really be upset with me.
Bubby, I truly hope someday you find your big boy pants and get help putting them on. It's way past the time when you should stop looking to Big Daddy Gubmint to provide for you, provide your job, provide your health care, provide your retirement, provide for your life.
Jobs aren't created by anyone in Washington, as much as your heroes might claim to the contrary.
You're making my (and Bubby's) point. You don't know the math. The Dept. of Education costs $63 Billion per year. That wouldn't pay for 4 months of the two wars you voted for, and cheered on. And the Republican Party feeds on Defense spending to fund it's many backwater rightwing voting districts. Did you notice how quick Gov. McDonnell was in condemning Sec. Gates decision to shut down the Joint Forces Command in Norfolk? McDonnell has every Republican in the state demanding that the JFCOM live on - to create jobs...ha, ha! You should call the governor and remind him that government doesn't create jobs!
Doug do you mean the two wars that Obama was going to end if he were elected ? For every 3 dollars that goes away from local schools they only get 1 dollar back.Even Democrats can't think this is good.
Hey Stupid, schools are funded by local property taxes. And rural governments receive more funding from the state of Virginia than they send to Richmond. You should pay your own way.
