Lipstick on the Hog Administration

[kentuck]

The old saying about putting lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig is applicable to this Administration. They can come out and talk about how everything is going great in Iraq, how great the economy is doing, how many jobs have been created, how well the stock market is doing, how low our taxes are, etc, but when we wipe off all the lipstick, we see it's still a hog.

Bush has stood under "mission accomplished" signs and Cheney has stated that the insurgency in Iraq was in its "last throes". As of midnight last night, 104 Americans were killed just in October. They call that "progress".

They brag about the great economy, as many of our good jobs have gone overseas. They point to the 6.2 million jobs created in the last 3 years but don't mention the negative growth of jobs in the first couple of years? Neither do they mention the 22 million jobs created during the Democratic years of the Clinton Administration.

They vow to fight the Democrats to the last man to protect their "death taxes", yet taxes at the local and state levels have to be increased to pay for necessities as our roads and infrastructure crumbles. The price of gasoline and healthcare and food skyrockets as the stockmarket booms. That is their "great economy". We don't know if we should invest in lipstick or in hogs?
