I definitely trust the "Remove and Replace Every Teapublican in 2012" organization to be committed to distributing only unbiased graphics.
Assuming these numbers are accurate, which considering the source we will just say for the sake of argument that they are, I think the tech boom under Clinton probably had a lot to do with those numbers. Shit was fucking bananas under Clinton. Bush had a nice run during the housing bubble as well but most of his gains were lost before he left office. If I remember correctly, Clinton left office just as the tech bubble popped. I may be wrong, I was pretty young back then and most of my attention was put towards doing drugs and whatnot.
As Ly2 touched on, even if the numbers are accurate, any intelligent person would understand there's little to draw from this.
A republican president can implement a ton of terrible laws during a boom, get out of office, and the laws suck the economy into a downspiral. The next president could spend his term cleaning up the mess, but his numbers would still look bad.
And all of this also assumes that the President has a huge influence on the economy.

Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias, myside bias or verification bias) is a tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses.
Jobs created?
Sure, if you mean spending $500,000 for a fucking gardener to re-sod the National Mall, more IRS agents to enforce Obamacare, and "shovel-ready" jobs that weren't "shovel-ready."
Calling Democrats faggots would be an insult to faggots all over WickedFire. Democrats are nothing but useless, sloppy cunts.

This is what I've been dealing with ...
"Its not a hypothesis at all... Look it up for yourself. Just because the "graphics" werew produced by a biased organization, doesn't make the FACTS of the issue any less truthful. Do you REALLY think a "Conservative" thinktank or organization would have done the graphics for this? LOL BTW- Bloomberg is a VERY CONSERVATIVE media outlet and they published this first!!! just sayin"
---- and
"If it were to show statistics based on control of Congress it would look 10x worse for Republicans. Throughout history, since the birth of the party, GOP control of Congress has had this same result. Robber Barons? Great Trusts? Great Depression? Great Recession? All direct results of GOP control.... Yeah, don't you just hate it when FACTS get in the way of bashing Democrats?? LMAO Once again, just sayin.. You cant change FACTS Bro! "
I'm curious to see how some of you would respond to this.

thats still highly irrelevant unsubstantiated claims by retarded interracial buttloving obamaists.
how are these "accomplishments" credited towards one party or the other? if the stock market rises by 300% when the president was a democrat but the positive(?) change was caused by legislation implemented by republicans, who gets to claim it?
you can present facts any way you want. pick 5 arbitrary things that might seem relevant to someone. change some paradigm. statistics your way out of problems you run into. some semi extremist republican sub group could release a very similar "infographic" with very different results backed by just as reliable "sources" claiming "facts". thats what politics is about. distorting "truth" so that it fits your agenda.
is the infographic "correct"? probably. does contain some kind of tangible value? nope. both parties are socialists, btw.
Sure, but that is like saying any intelligent person would understand that drinking acai will not make you thin, beautiful, and smarter by the weekend. And yet...
I speak with "normal" folk* everyday. Many are stupid. Many are willfully ignorant. All of them vote.
* The type that watch 5 hours of television every day, but haven't read a non-fiction book in years.
I would point out that since they want to go back to the roots of a party, let's look at the fact that the KKK was an offshoot of the Democratic Party. That will shut them the fuck up real quick.
Then if they try to claim the Democratic Party has changed their ways, simply point out that the democratic party currently overwhelmingly supports the genocide of the black race through abortion (1 out of 3 black pregnancies is aborted), and the destruction of black families through government programs designed to replace black fathers as the income source with the result being a large percentage of the black race growing up fatherless and dependent on handouts. Then ask them why they hate minorities so much.
You might lose some friends but the reality slap will be worth it. By the way, I'm far from a Republican but most liberal democrats are the fucking scourge of society.
I don't think anyone would be delusional enough to believe their pro-choice views mean they are pro-abortion. That wouldn't be a slap in the face for anyone. It might get a good chuckle out of them though.
