Top Five Misconceptions of the Left and MSM

Below are the answers to the top five complaints of the Dems and the Mainstream Media…use this as a guide to instantly halt any uneducated, Bush Derangement Syndrome Blather you may encounter going into the election.

Misconception Number One: Bush Lied, People Died

Answer: President Bush, after prudently considering high level intelligence from a variety of sources including our own Central Intelligence Agency, Russian Intelligence, British Intelligence, Italian Intelligence…all of which came to the same conclusion: Iraq posed a risk to the United States by their active pursuit of Weapons of Mass Destruction and material support of terrorism. Couple this with the fact that Saddam Hussein had no only used WMD against his people on several different occasions, had flouted the United Nations for over a decade, and had overtly expressed support for Islamic fundamentalism, the United States was perfectly justified in acting. President Bush did not lie to anyone, rather he acted on sound information that the rest of the world, including the United Nations all believed. On more minor point to add: the invasion of Iraq was the “longest telegraphed punch” in the history of modern times, Saddam Hussein had plenty of time to conceal or destroy his existing weaponry…we haven’t found anything because he haven’t looked hard enough.


Misconception Number Two: George Bush is bad for the economy

Answer: Turn on the news! Just today the economy posted its lowest unemployment rate in 5 years (4.4%). Last month, the Dow Jones crashed through it’s all time high mark, GDP is growing at a very healthy pace (in a NON SPECULATIVE ENVIRONMENT, but based on solid corporate fundamentals), inflation is down and under control, and oil prices are nearly $20 from their all time highs…and this is just a sampling of data. As Larry Kudlow says, the economy is the “greatest story never told.” The MSM media and the Left have carped for so long about how the economy is being ruined; people have started to believe it….a massive lie that is just simply untrue.


Misconception Number Three: The War in Iraq has nothing to do with the War on Terror

Answer: Again, turn on the news people! Every single one of our enemies has stated within the past two months that Iraq is the primary battleground in their jihad against the United States. If Bin Laden himself as said that the battleground in Iraq is a central front, how can it not be?


Misconception Number Four: The Bush Tax Cuts are ineffective and have only helped the rich

Answer: This past quarter, federal tax receipts have reached an all time high and subsequently unemployment has dropped significantly due to the increase in the availability of jobs. Despite all the pessimistic bellyaching, virtually every metric of individual economic health has increased over the past 5 years. As President Bush said, “Americans know how better to spend their money than the Government.” In terms of taxes only helping the rich, first off there has been an explosion of Americans who have qualified income to place them in the “rich” category. Are there the stereotypical fat cats that haunt the ranting of the socialized Left, figures like Trump, JP Morgan, etc….no, this category is bursting with entrepreneurs, small business owners, and folks who have made the very most of the American dream. By no means are they getting a more fair deal than the lower income people whom the Left readily exploit, as a matter of fact, the largest portion of individual income tax receipts are from those Americans considered “wealthy” and whose tax rate is FAR higher than lower income Americans. Just doesn’t add up does it? It is a populist argument that holds absolutely no water whatsoever.


Misconception Number Five (Certainly Not the Least): George W. Bush is an idiot

Answer: Tell me how someone can get attend Philips Academy, Yale University, and Harvard Business School and still be an idiot? How can someone fool tens of millions of people into placing their lives and livelihood under his trust….twice? While President Bush certainly isn’t the most eloquent person around at times, he is in no way an imbecile who cannot make decisions of his own. Quite the contrary, he is an extremely intelligent leader who hears all sides to an issue and then makes an educated decision…and sticks with it. Perhaps that is a fault considering he inherited the Oval Office from someone who would take a Public Opinion Poll prior to making any substantive consideration.

The list, obviously goes on and on….you get the picture though, a cold counter sprinkled with cold fact is the best way to stand your ground against the putrid arrogance of the Left who will assault you with conspiracy theories and half-baked logic. Remember this come Tuesday
