Conservative Statistics

From the Website Conservative Truths:

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2006 the years where a Republican President was in office show that the Total Receipts from International Visitors is lower than when a Democratic President was in office.

Republican President George Herbert Walker Bush:
In 1990 the Total Receipts from International Visitors was $58,305,000,000.

Democratic President William Jefferson Clinton:
1995 - $82,304,000,000.
1998 - $91,423,000,000.
1999 - $94,586,000,000.
2000 - $103,087,000,000.
Republican President George Walker Bush:
2001 - $89,819,000,000.
2002 - $83,593,000,000.
2003 - $80,652,000,000.
Yeah, I know that there are probably a bunch of other factors at work here, but these statistics are great fun to pull out when talking to 'wingers.

The website also documents a rise in the use of birth control during liberal presidencies and a decline under conservative ones, an increase in low birth weight during conservative presidencies and a higher rate of suicide during conservative presidencies.
