5 Ways the Republican Party is destroying America |
|
1. The Iraq war: physically, fiscally and morally. 2. Underfunding education 3. Ramming religion down our throats. 4. Scandals (Delay, Rove, Coingate, election fraud, Abu Ghraib etc.) 5. Doing nothing for our future energy needs.

2. There have been more scandals under Bush than Clinton! |
|
And it only took one to impeach Clinton!
Someone should keep track. Oh wait, this website already does!

12. 1OO,OOO die in our streets/yr - the homeless |
|
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 12:33 AM by oscar111
how do you folks keep forgetting to list that?
you see them daily.
also, .. another way is
14 million Job Shortage.
see sig for sources\
PS 3 million involved with homeslss situation/yr, they die at three times normal rate. Works out to 1OO,OOO excess deaths due to heat, cold, rat bites, hunger... and criminal attacks, poor ability to treat ills at "home" in an alleyway pile of rags for a bed, and many other reasons. 4 billion would end all homelssness... taxcuts for the rich totalled 35O billion.
Job Shortage can end at NO cost... WPA harnesses the labor power of the jobless, which now is unharnessed.

health facilities, and turned the mentally ill out to the streets. Many of which still live on the streets in CA today.
