The Hypocrisy of Republicans

Seen on facebook through a friend

As a Republican, you LOVED George W. Bush! In fact, you voted for him twice! You loved his foreign policy... You loved his "Christian values"... You loved his economic policies.... Hell, you even loved the fact that he only spoke in one syllable words!

But then Bush left office with the largest budget deficit in U.S. History, a stock market in free fall, an auto industry on the verge of collapse, our military fighting two multi trillion dollar wars, off budget, 800,000 Americans losing their jobs every single month, and a world economy that contracted by an incredible $70 trillion in just 6 months....

You never objected to any of his policies... You never criticized him... When it all came crashing down, you silently watched as appalled Americans elected a black man to the presidency for the first time in 232 years...

And then you finally spoke up... You spoke up by objecting to every single word the new president uttered... Even if it was something that you passionately supported under the previous president!

You spoke up to blame him for the slow recovery, even though the Republican Party openly admitted that they intended to obstruct every move he made, and that their only objective was to make him a 1 term president...

And now you're so disillusioned by the successes of this black guy, that you try in vain to convince Americans that they are worse off today than they were when banks were failing in record numbers, 800,000 Americans were losing their jobs every month, a millions of American families were losing their homes in an epic mortgage meltdown...

In fact, you're so disillusioned that you want to literally blow the system up, and elect an s.o.b. who has no understanding of how government works, the separation of powers, or basic global economic conditions... An individual who is guaranteed to make America a third world nation in 4 years... But hey.... At least he's white, right? At least, he wants to randomly profile Mexicans and Muslims, right? And at least, he's not "politically correct", right? What's important to you? I mean, what's REALLY important to you? Making America great again?... Or making America an ignorant, racist, sexist, xenophobic, third-world backwater country again? JUST SAYING..
