I could go on forever about things like this, but most of the things that the Republicans continually repeat (such as Kerry changing his mind about Iraq) are based on pretty awful statistics. For example: one of Bush's most favorite things to say is that he's created 1.5 million jobs.
We lost 1.1 million jobs since he got into office. That's a net of 400,000 jobs that he's created which represents slow growth. The growth is due to his tax cuts, which caused a short term boost to the economy, but are going to cost about 2 trillion dollars over the next ten years. We're going to be paying for that, you know.
