The Difference is Clear (A lovely msg from our beloved pResident)
via email:

Republicans have a record of dealing with some serious economic times during my presidency. We have had a recession, a stock market collapse, terrorist attacks, corporate scandals and major natural disasters.

Because Republicans acted and had an economic recovery plan, we have created strong economic growth and nearly 5.3 million new jobs in the last two and half years; the national unemployment rate has dropped to 4.6% -- that is lower than the average rate of the 1960s, 1970s, the 1980s and the 1990s; productivity is up and household net worth is at an all-time high.

Republicans understand that by cutting taxes people will have more of their own money to save, spend and invest as they see fit, not as the government wants. So our Party and GOP members of the U.S. Congress stood squarely for tax relief for everybody who pays taxes.

We have a lot of work to do to make sure America remains a prosperous country, so that every single citizen can realize the great promise of America.

That is why your support as a Sustaining Member of the Republican National Committee is vital to our Party's success in the 2006 mid-term elections.

nothing threatens our hard-won reforms and economic prosperity more than a Democrat victory this November.

Today, many Democrats want the tax relief we passed to expire in a few years. Some even want to repeal it now.

The Democrat Party has a clear record when it comes to taxes.

In 2001, more than 71% of the congressional Democrats voted against cutting income tax rates. More than 90% of the Congressional Democrats voted against a bill that provided tax relief for married couples.

More than 71% of Democrats voted against a bill that would have put the death tax on the road to extinction. More than 71% of Democrats voted against a bill that doubled the child credit. In 2003, more than 96% of the Congressional Democrats voted against cutting taxes on dividends and capital gains.

And recently, during the budget debate, Democrats used the occasion to call for $173 billion in tax hikes and fee increases.

The difference is clear: if you want the government in your pocket, vote Democrat. If you want to keep more of your hard-earned money, vote Republican.

Republicans have the right ideas to keep our economy growing strong. The first thing is to make the tax cuts permanent.

Republicans are also working to cut the deficit. The best way to reduce the deficit is to keep pro-growth economic policies in place, and be wise about how we spend your money -- which is exactly what Republicans are doing in Washington. We are on our way to cut the deficit in half by 2009.

But to do that, we must re-elect Republican majorities to the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.

Our GOP candidates need your support. Please send a contribution of $100, $50 or $25 to the RNC today to help elect more Republicans in 2006. You can make your donation on the RNC's secure website at www.GOP.com/Sustaining/c.

We have made remarkable progress enacting our bold, responsible agenda for America in the last five and a half years. Working together, we can continue to keep our nation moving forward to greater peace, prosperity and security.

Sincerely,

George W. Bush

P.S. the 2006 elections will be close. Your support is critical to providing the resources our Republican candidates need to win. Please visit this secure website to send the RNC a special contribution of $100, $50 or $25 today. Thank you.



BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

2. We have prosperity
Dear Mr. President

I knew I was wrong I asserting we were doing worse under you than Bill Clinton. Thanks for setting me straight Mr. President. You are such an honorable man of integrity & truth.

PS. When are you going to make right on your promise to fire anyone who was involved in the outing of Valerie Plame. The check will be in mail when you fire Karl.

6. Seems like they keep promising ...
to cut the national deficit in half by 2009 (within a few years), yet every year we seem to hit new record budget deficit. Their credibility on the issue is gone.

When are people going to wake up, get a grip on reality, and figure out that these people are telling them what they want to hear.

Cheers

7. I think they're referring to the fiscal deficit, not the national debt.
Pretty damn sad if they can't cut spending enough to halve fiscal deficits in a few years.

11. How dare they call it the "death tax!"
It is actually called the estate tax, but I think it should be called the "wealth" or the "estate-luxury" tax.

12. The Inheritance Tax as that's what it is. It's income to the heir.
UNEARNED income at that!
