Democrats' slaps at Bush already creating backlash

The Democrats have been pounding the administration over the corporate accounting scandals and the stock market's nose dive, but several upcoming actions could converge to deflate, if not defuse, their attacks.

Last week, former Vice President Al Gore blamed President Bush's tax cuts for ushering in an environment of "unfettered corporate greed." Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota said it was Mr. Bush's "laissez faire" policy toward business that led to the scandals. Other Democrats accused Mr. Bush of practicing "voodoo economics" and running an "oil-industry administration."

The demos are such jerks!! All this greed stuff HAPPENED on their watch...with klintoon at the helm and at the sink!!

But Republican pollsters say these attacks are not working and are even drawing a backlash from voters.

No kidding.

People's eyes glaze over when you talk about "accounting scandals"

The acrane accounting termonology alone isn't in the working vocabulary of the majority of Americans and the rats think they can build a scandal around this? LOL!

Maybe we should let them hold our "Stupid Party" World Belt for a while..

Yeah, but as long as it's running their negatives up maybe it's better to just let them rave..

OH! And as a PS to my previous post:

The only people who do understand the gargon are wealthy enough and involved enough that they don't want to see the market sacked over a couple of bad apples.

This is a total loser for the Dems, imvho.

"With 66 percent of likely voters invested in the stock market, they don't want to battle the rich, they want to be rich," Mr. Zogby said.

This points out the foolishness of the Democrat anti-business attacks. I hope it all backfires. They deserve it.

Have you been Googling Liz Cheney? Well?

"With 66 percent of likely voters invested in the stock market, they don't want to battle the rich, they want to be rich," Mr. Zogby said"

This is the most amazing statement - and coming from Zogby, I'm stunned!! Finally somebody has said the truth.

"all this greed happened on Clinton's watch"

Yes it did!! And ... this is why the dems are yelling so loudly about the CORRUPT REPUBLICANS because they are trying to hide the corrupt democrats!!

"The bottom line is that people want solutions, not partisan attacks, and that's all the Democrats are giving them at the moment, just partisan attacks," said pollster David Winston

This has the dems very confused since it worked so well under x42's leadership.
