Bush's 2004 ads

The ad incorrectly states that the economy was in recession in January 2001. As I have said it before, by the official measure of recessions, the economy peaked in March 2001.

This article with GDP graphs suggest it peaked even later.

note of interest- Greenspan's interest rate policy. He never cut interest rates in 2000.

You're quoting some old newspaper article?  You do know the Government revises statistics all the time, right?  I think upon further review they determined the recession began under Clinton.

Please excuse me while I laugh.  The Firefighters Union, like all unions, is slavishly Democratic.  I wouldn't put much stock in what they say, especially since there are many firefighters after 9/11 who don't support thier policies.

I've been wondering about that.  I don't know any firefighters or their families, but on TV it's always the firemen unions like Kerry.  What's the buzz back east?  Firemen like Kerry all of the sudden?

Unions like Democrats, its that simple.
