What has REPUBLICAN RULE delivered to this country? Let's make a list, shall we?
   
Advertisements [?]
I will start with stuff off the top of my head:

GREATER POVERTY

REFUGEES WITHIN OUR OWN BORDERS

SPYING WITHOUT WARRANTS ON AMERICANS

WAR WITHOUT CAUSE (and the soldiers maimed or dead for that)

EXPANSION OF NUCLEAR ARMS DEVELOPMENT

REDISTRIBUTION OF NATIONAL WEALTH (to war mongers and robber barons)

TERRI SHIAVO

PRIVATIZATION OF PUBLIC EDUCATION (e.g. leave the lessor than rich kids behind)

DEBT - NATIONAL

DEBT - CONSUMER

DEBT- FEDERAL

WAR PROFITEERING

TENS OF BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS U-N-A-C-C-0-U-N-T-E-D BY THE PENTAGON

ENERGY POLICY HELD IN "SECRET" FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

BARBARIC TORTURE

GREATEST DIVIDE BETWEEN RICH/POOR SINCE THE DEPRESSION

PROOF THAT, IF YOU ARE GREEDY AND DO NOT GIVE A **** ABOUT ANYONE OTHER THAN YOUR OWN SELF, YOU WILL CHALLENGE ALL LAWS TO YOUR BENEFIT AND MISREPRESENT REALITY TO ALL PEOPLE WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONSEQUENCES UPON OTHERS,...AND "MOSTLY" SUCCEED TO PROFIT YOURSELF. THOSE STUPID, GULLIBLE ****ERS NEVER KNEW WHAT WAS COMING!!!!

13. ..And the loss of a major city
   
with rebuilding funds diverted to casinos with party ties and to corporations with party ties and nothing left over for the people who used to live there.

That is their shining achievement. Crony payoffs for them and nothing for us defines this administration and defines their whole party.

18. (And all those dead Iraqis, including SO many children.)
   
Little baby boys and girls. Mothers and fathers too, but worst of all, little BABIES.

Murdered by terrorist attacks. Because, you know what's an act of terrorism? Dropping two-thousand-pound bombs into a crowded city in the middle of the night. THAT'S an act of ****ing terrorism.

And how many times did we do exactly that?

Al queda, hamas, hezbollah and Iranian fighters and saddam loyalists are the ones killing the Iraqis you ****ing moron.

Like you care. You probably cheer when it happens you sick ****.

These people so obviously aren't living in this world of reality. They are living in their reality, all the while chasing imaginary butterflies.

Which basically sums up what DUmmies really want...a hand out.

Guess what DUmba$$ no one or no government owes you one damn thing except to keep your miserable life safe from enemies and that is what has happened.

Cry your petty gimmee BS to someone else.

[VivisMom]

Reminds me of this quote from Monty Python's Life of Brian:


Reg: All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Attendee: Brought peace?

Reg: Oh, peace - shut up!

Reg: There is not one of us who would not gladly suffer death to rid this country of the Romans once and for all.

Dissenter: Uh, well, one.

Reg: Oh, yeah, yeah, there's one. But otherwise, we're solid.

[Bondai]

How these people function with their delusions breaks all known laws of science.

One thing, I will concede, we have failed to deliver on over the last 7 years and that is smarter DUmmies.  In the next 8 years, I propose we get going on those DUmmie reeducation camps.

I propose we cut off the DUmmie Cheeto and weed supply so they will have to come out of the basement and we lay a trail of Cheetos from their driveways right to their new bunks in the camps.

I wonder if the VRWC R&D Department has come up with a Cheeto that won't dissolve in the rain . . . or get eaten by an animal (other than a DUmmy)

You're right.  Maybe we should just have the Cheeto trail lead to a transport truck.

That'll be great.  In future history books it will be known as the Trail of Cheetos.
