What great economy?

Letter to the Editor

People in the news media are asking why Bush doesn't get more credit for the economy. Maybe it's because America went from the world's biggest surplus under Clinton to the world's biggest deficit under Bush. Maybe it's because Bush ran the national debt up higher than all the presidents put together. Maybe it's because the price of gasoline has tripled while the minimum wage has stayed the same. Or maybe it's because this president has never got anything right so why would we believe he got the economy right? The reason people don't give Bush credit for the economy is because we just don't believe it.

Peace is the right path

Letter to the Editor

Those who refuse to learn from their mistakes are bound to keep paying the price when they do the same thing again. You would have thought we would have learned from Vietnam but the right wing has been arguing for war for the last 40 years. Now they have the power they started another war and have proved those who are on the side of peace were right yet again.

This is what happens when we let the right wing take power. They got us in a hole and they just keep digging it deeper. Instead of give peace a chance they are singing give war a chance. The more they fight the more they lose. Since we didn't learn from Vietnam maybe we should give war a chance and see how much failure we can stand before we throw the rest of the Republicans out of office. How much failure do we need before it's time to give peace a chance?

Does anyone believe Bush?

Letter to the Editor

It's interesting that what's coming out of the Scooter Libby trial We're seeing how the Bush administration lied to us about the reasons for the war with Iraq. It was a deliberate fabrication. At the same time this is coming out Bush is fabricating a new war with Iran. The militias are now the "Iranian backed militias". All of a sudden the Iranians are behind everything. Bush is speaking the language of war and is actively justifying an upcoming attack on Iran. Does anyone really expect the public to believe him this time? It's time for Bush to step down.
