Republican Congressional "Agenda"
We have:

* Iraq in shambles
* The Middle East blowing up
* Billions of unaccounted for dollars to war profiteers
* Dangerous foreign debt
* CO2 levels reeking havoc
* The Bill Of Rights in tatters
* The Gulf Coast still a wreck
* A health care system that the insurance companies have ruined
* Voting irregularities and violations

And what is on the Republican controlled Congress plate?

* Gay marriage
* "In God we trust"
* "Late term" abortion
* Flag burning
* Endless "talk" about immigration reform
* Permanent tax cuts for the upper 1/10 of 1%
* ...and other distractions...

1. Amazing, isn't it?
Yet we still have 28% of Americans willing to follow Bush & Co. anywhere they choose to lead us. I admit, I didn't go to college, yet I'm smart enough to be terrified that 28% of the population could still, after all we've seen happen over the past five years, be as utterly clueless or as willfully blind as they seem to be.

And things just continue to get worse. Truly amazing.

3. Ahh, but put it through the spin cycle and you get:
* Iraq in shambles (Continuing to defend freedom)
* The Middle East blowing up (Hezbollah and other mideast terrorists under fire)
* Billions of unaccounted for dollars to war profiteers (Economy is thriving)
* Dangerous foreign debt (Generous aid program)
* CO2 levels reeking havoc (That kooky Al Gore is at it again)
* The Bill Of Rights in tatters (Supreme Court is earning its paycheck)
* The Gulf Coast still a wreck (Unprecedented disaster and subsequent relief effort)
* A health care system that the insurance companies have ruined (Medicare reform endorsed by AARP)
* Voting irregularities and violations (Jeb Bush leads voting reform program in FL)
