France swings further to right

who would have thunk it?

From the page: "On the third anniversay of the Iraq war, the MSM keeps bombarding us with stories and statistics trying to compare this war to the carnage in Vietnam, trying to make us think that US soldiers are dying at an alarming number due to Bush's failures.

While every lost serviceman and servicewoman is certainly tragic and should be mourned, the actual statistics tell quite a different tale from the MSM and Democratic doom-and-gloom outlook. Comparing the numbers of lost US military personnel to past years, and past presidential terms, may even be a shock to supporters of the war.

Take a look at the actual US Military Casualty figures since 1980. If you do the math, you wil find quite a few surpises. First of all, let's compare numbers of US Military personnel that died during the first term of the last four presidents.

George W. Bush . . . . . 5187 (2001-2004)
Bill Clinton . . . . . . . . . 4302 (1993-1996)
George H.W. Bush . . . . 6223 (1989-1992)
Ronald Reagan . . . . . . 9163 (1981-1984)"

From the page: "We, the undersigned, are becoming increasingly concerned about the well-being of NBC News' Chief White House Correspondent David Gregory. He has become increasingly ill due to Bush Derangement Syndrome and has turned to alcohol in an attempt to sustain this illness"

What's the big deal?

From the page: "A Lasting Impression from Last Night's State of the Union Address
To me, the most revealing moment during President Bush's State of the Union speech came when congressional Democrats stood and cheered after Bush said,

Congress did not act last year on my proposal to save Social Security...

Think about that for a moment: Social Security not only has long term liquidity problems, but it is a program that pays the average recipient about $1,000 per month, where 20-25% of recipients receive its benefits as their sole source of income, and where another 40-45% of recipients have their benefits count for at least half of their retirement income."
