Smear Watch: IDP Launches New Site In Response to Misleading GOP Attacks
October 5th, 2006 at 04:46pm Geraldine
The Iowa Democratic Party today announced a new web site, StopGOPSmear.com, that attempts to expose the Republicans’ smear tactics and respond to them with the facts.
One interesting feature of the site (which I’m sure will serve its purpose) is the link at the top left allowing visitors to report any attack ads or mail pieces that they receive to the Party so that our candidates can respond quickly. This is perhaps the most useful part of the site, because visitors to it will probably be good Democrats anyway. This is just a way for our campaigns to find out faster what the next big wave of attacks is.
Either way, it’s a worthwhile project, especially since there have been so many hit pieces put out by the Republicans already this election.

Federal Budget Surpluses and Deficits
The largest annual U.S. federal budget deficit, as a percentage of gross domestic product, was at the height of World War II when it hit 30.3% of GDP.
By comparison, the federal budget deficit for 2004 as a percentage of GDP is estimated at 2.7% of GDP.
During the 70 years between 1934 and 2004, there have been 12 budget years in which the federal budget has had an annual surplus.

[…] Republicans slung a lot of mud during the last election and it’s reassuring to know all their smears directed against Bruce Braley, as well as Leonard Boswell and other Democratic candidates across […]
