10. My dream for America would be the last 10 years were
were just a dream. When the SCOTUS appointed GWB President it was just about the worst thing ever in the history of the US. When Clinton left office we had a budget surplus, a good economy and no wars. The dim son of GHWB managed to totally reverse the direction of this country in 8 years. Now we have red ink as far as we can see, 9.9% unemployment, two senseless wars and an environmental disaster of epic proportions in the making. All of them can be placed squarely on GWB. I just can't comprehend how on earth Democrats could possibly lose any seats in Congress after the mess GWB and the Republicans has left us. I wish we were like Bobby Ewing when he woke up and the previous season was all just a bad dream.
WOW! where to even start with this 1.
SCOTUS didn't hand GWB the election, and the left constantly fails to recognize that Bush won Florida, the NY Times was down there how many months afterwards? if Gore won the NY Times would never of slinked away.

Unemployment started to rise when the Democrats took over Congress, in reference to the "senseless wars" let me see, Al Queda was at war with us for what? 8 years? the left conveniently forgets WTC 1, Khobar Towers, Somalia, the African Embassy bombings, USS Cole, and not confronting any of this led to 9/11, and Katrina IMO was the fault of the New Orleans Mayor and the Governor of the State, and as far as the last comment:
I just can't comprehend how on earth Democrats could possibly lose any seats in Congress after the mess GWB and the Republicans has left us. I wish we were like Bobby Ewing when he woke up and the previous season was all just a bad dream.
Let me re-state it:
I just can't comprehend how on earth Democrtas could possibly win any seats in Congress after the mess Obama and the Democrats have caused. I wish we were like Bobby Ewing when he woke up and the previous election was just a bad dream.
