Strike two. Try the economy, debt, and environment.

Environment?? Hohohoho -- for all the yelling about it from anti-Republicans (so consider the source, always) you just don't see actual environmental degradation. The numbers aren't there, you know. Or you should. You do see some effort at reducing the cost of doing business, which is something that always has to be done. Particularly as a check and balance to the urge to micromanage and regulate and overregulate.

Debt?? Hahahahaha -- look at Bill Clinton. There is considerable doubt among the knowledgeable that the national debt improved, or that there was any actual surplus. Nongovernmental debt is of course not subject to government control, save of the crudest sort of intervention, which even with the Democrats rampant doesn't look to happen either.

Economy?? Heheheheheh. The kind of mentality that says "George Did It" is the same mentality that credits Bill Clinton with the boom years of the 1990s. Consider, again, the source -- is not the source the same antiRepublican dickheads I've already dismissed as unworthy of attention and unlikely to get it right? I am persuaded that there's very little a President can actually do that influences an economy, positively or negatively. The market, it appears, works to laws entirely independent of anybody's politics. So no, I'm too well advised to have that kind of mentality.

Three strikes to you, Bruce. Quit believing leftist shibboleths and your intellect will shine. Leftism is a bad religion. I don't whore after so false a god.

Still clueless after all these years. Stick to something within your grasp, like bagpipes and knives.

Still dodging enlightenment, eh Bruce? You know, the only way you can continue to wallow in your present darkness is by pretending I'm either crazy or that I know nothing. It won't work, for I always think despite any pretenses on your part, and the day of enlightenment draws closer.

Can you really even call this a rebuttal? Manifestly you think it is... and once again I'm reminded of why I can't be a leftist. They don't think well enough.
