re: How Not TO Get A Convention Bounce

"It's real irritating to hear Kerry roll off a list of goals I agree with just to hear recitation of Democratic BS and innuendo about Bush's war on terror. This is the number one issue going into the election now that the natural economic cycle has covered up Bush's dogmatic and lame response to the recession."

While I would agree that the recession was part of a economic cycle, I believe we recovered from it much quickier as one result of tax cuts, and not taking other types of "typical responses" which can make it worst. A "natural economic cycle" can lead to market bubbles which can then result in major depressions- these can be dangerous, both domestically and internationally. I *think* we have escaped from the prospects of having a major depression. Most of the credit should be due to the Fed actions, but the Fed also thought tax cuts would help the situation.
