Desmostylus, I appreciate your list of numbers, but I asked for a cite to back up bri1600bv’s claim of > [@](#): > > Let’s see. The stock market lost something like 6 trillion in wealth BEFORE Bush took office. The only thing I can get from the numbers you posted is that bri1600bv’s claim is a complete fabrication. If that was your goal, then I appreciate the research. If you’re trying to back up bri1600bv’s claim, I’d like an explanation as to how the numbers support him. ---

Yeah, come to think of it, the Bush/Clinton hate angle kind of begs the question, “who is funding the hate campaign against George Bush?” I think we can already see who are the beneficiaries of the Mellon-Scaife campaign: people such as Admiral Poindexter, John Negroponte, Ted Olsen, Elliot Abrams, John Ashcroft… …Who are the people who are going to benefit from a resurgence of the Democratic Party? Who is fronting the press at a loss publishing their books? Who bought a newspaper–or several newspapers–and a network, and a hundred websites? Who is this single fomentor of hatred against this kind and benevolent Incumbent Eternal? That’s a serious question, by the way, because I desperately want to write one: _Me: The Life and Times of a Guy Who Busted His Ass to Get Bush De-Unelected, On $20 a Day or Less!_ ---
