Subject: F*** YOU NAZI DEAF REPUBLICIAN Go to HELL you war LOVER and destroy our economies! YOU ALL WEALTHY DEAF PEOPLE GO TO HELL!

We destroy the economies? We brought it back from the brink, practically, if you hadn't noticed. First we had the dot-com bubble burst that began even before Bush took office in January of 2001, and stocks were getting sold left and right in the mad dash not to lose their hard gained profits. President Bush took office when the recession began several months before President Clinton left office.

Then we had all those "Enrons" who were finally getting caught cooking their books and inflating numbers that weren't real. The company Enron set the stage for a politcal and economic show down that further depressed the economy and shook investors' confidence of other companies who had gotten under the microscope as well.

Then we had 9/11. Everybody knows how that had an effect on the economy, people's confidence and their psyche.

Then three months after 9/11 nearly 1 million jobs were lost because of the triple whammy of dot-com bubble burst, the Enrons, and the devastating impact of 9/11 had on the economy. Everybody knows that.

But let's not stop there. We had to drag through 2002 which was the tail end of the recession. 2002 was a year when the recession began to turn around. We were looking at a serious recession back in ’01 but President Bush helped manage to turn the economy around. We had the shortest recession in modern economic times!

We had the shortest recession in modern economic times… it’s important to put this in perspective – 9/11, the war on terror, the rebuilding of the homeland security, the corporate scandals, the collapse of the NASDAQ and the equity markets. All of those external shocks to the economy, and yet the economy is still doing reasonably well.

By 2003 we were looking at an economic turn-around but weren't sure if this were to last. The economy continues to improve to this day. The economy improved despite the United States waging two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq at the same time in 2003.

This year in 2004 we have seen record housing construction boom, lowest housing mortgage rates never before seen allowing millions of first home buyers to get housing loans at low, low 30-year loan rate even low as 4.5%! Stocks have largely recovered and on the upward trend where thousands of internet businesses have gone bust in 2001 and 2002 leaving others barely alive but are now recovering and starting to see good profit gains this year.

During the Bush administration the NASDAQ stocks had a low of 1184 points in 2002 while the DOW Jones Industrial had a low of 7872 points in 2002. Both were at their lowest in 6 years. But now stocks have largely recovered with NASDAQ at about 2000 points, a 700+ points return since 2002, and a 2300 points return for the DOW Jones at 10,000+ points up since 2002.

The national jobless rate remains at 5.4% for President Bush prior to the November 2 re-election bid which is even better than Clinton prior to his re-election bid at a time when the United States had a jobless rate of 5.6% ! Facts do not lie. Bush at 5.4% versus Clinton at 5.6% right before their election night.

Now, we DeafRepublicans are wealthy? Why do you say that? We have DeafRepublicans who are college students (certainly not rich!). We have DeafRepublicans who are just starting out with a career or a job (just getting by, but certainly not rich!). We have DeafRepublicans who have a family and kids are in school (getting better at saving money, and begin an investment portfolio, but certainly not rich or wealthy, but the standard of living has improved lots). We have DeafRepublicans who are near retirements or are much older who have invested hundred of thousands of dollars , of which a Deaf democrat helps oversee and maintain their clients' portfolios over their retirement plans. These older Deaf, deaf and hard of hearing people own houses and cars but they are certainly much more prepared and well off (but certainly not wealthy!) than most younger fellas.

We're pretty like you in many ways but we believe in hard work and getting where we want to go life and be well off and comfortable rather tha being filthy rich or "wealthy." We can only wish. Only a few of us are that wealthy compared to millions of deaf and hard of hearing republicans and democrats who earn their daily living as middle class workers, not millionaires. Instead, we're a part of the "thousandaires" group.

Next is that we are not "war lovers" either. We don't like wars but we certainly do not want to see war on our soils, do we? We see the threats before us. Do you?

And lastly we do not like Nazis. Nor do we like the idea of socialism or a socialist republic. Capitalism and hard work both are key in the hope of becoming wealthy someday, or at least be well off when you retire.

I have a question for you. Do you believe in hard work?
