I have provided facts and IRS documented statistics and am labeled a religious zealot who wants to bomb abortion clinics when in fact I am against murder of any kind. Whether it's applied legally by use of the death penalty or killing unborn babies, or illegally by killing abortion providers or assisting in suicides, murder is murder and it is wrong.
I personally agree that these tax rebates are worthless for fixing the economic problems our country is facing. But with Democrats in control of both the House and the Senate, why should Bush take all the blame because more helpful parts were left out, like an extension of unemployment benefits.
Furthermore, it is ridiculous to blame the President or Congress because some people got houses with interest only or variable rate mortgages that they could not afford if they had used a traditional 30-yr fixed rate mortgage. I'm not saying that all the foreclosures are the result of this, but lumping someone's personal stupid financial moves with the legitimate problems and blaming a government official for all of them is not only ignorant, it is also irresponsible.
As for the crack whore comment, I was refering to an actual parolee in the neighborhood who prostituted herself for the money to buy crack. Your broad generalizations and assumptions are what turn any intelligent point that you are trying to make into moronic rants.
The bottom line is an intelligent debate between people holding opposite viewpoints cannot exist when my tools are logic and documented data and your tools consist of rants and name calling.
Without well reasoned presentation of facts on your part, no more discussion is necessary on my part concerning this topic.

Much has been made of how the repeated failures of his presidency seem not to have taken much of a personal toll on Bush. But on taxes, it's likely he will ultimately feel a personal impact. During the years of low marginal tax rates, Bush was on the public payroll, holding the relatively low-paying job of president. Come next year, as he told author Robert Draper, he's going to start to "replenish the ol' coffers" by giving speeches and likely writing a memoir—just in time to pay higher taxes.
