Tell DNC: GOP is DRUNK with power. Dems are America's Designated Drivers
Edited on Sat Jan-28-06 09:44 AM by blm
Republicans are irresponsible with the budget, the environment, the economy, international goodwill, and irresponsibly foolish in military matters.

They can't be trusted. Democrats are the Sober Realists.

Nods to Ron Wyden who inspired the theme when he said he feels like a designated driver.

and book 'em all. Enough of this careening wildly from war to crisis to excess. DUI LEADS TO RECKLESS HOMICIDE. Throw 'em in the tank until they sober up. SG

17. The gop are Drunk with
Power and Corporate Money and insist on driving the country into the abyss while they line their own pockets.

No one has Ever needed a Designated Driver like these republicans do and our Dems are the ones who need to wrestle the keys from their fat greasy hands.

30. And you might also tie in
that meme from the 2004 campaign: Bush was the candidate everyone wanted to have a beer with. Another DUer had a thread that said: the nation has been drunk ever since, and the hangover's going to be a doozy.
