Would somebody please explain to me how we got into this mess
Euro rising, Dollar dropping, Our country being despised world wide. Stolen elections, no paper trails for so many voters. A pathological lier in the white house, exit polls being wrong. I'm becoming disillusioned.

1. "Becoming"? I'm way past that, Ironpost.
But this CSPAN program is giving me some much needed optimism.

2. started with Reagan making idiocy fashionable
Clinton did a heroic job trying to save us despite 8 years of absolute witch-hunting but when Americans did not rise up in protest of the installation of that lying, thieving incompetent piece of shit Bush, that really put the nails in our coffin.

4. Yep, that's when the current policies got their start.
Bush is very Raygun-like in many ways, as are the current crop of
Democratic "leaders" like the spineless shills we had then.

10. Ooo, Oooo, I can!
We got into this mess because somewhere between a Monica Lewinsky blowjob and the DLC, our democratic representatives became afraid to actually be the opposition party.
