A Democrat managed to balance the budget and begin paying down debt

[Toots]

While under Constant Attack from a very Hostile Congress. He also never lost a single Soldier on any mission he began. I realize that Somalia was a disaster but Clinton did not initiate our involvement there. Now the Republicans have total Control and are battling no one when it comes to legislation but the debt accumilation is worse now than ever before in the History of the USA. It is growing by a hundred thousand dollars a second. Government is bigger than ever before in the History of the USA. Government is intruding on people's personal life more than ever before in History. Soldiers are dying daily and the entire world is beginning to despise America and yet the Democrats have no message to offer the people. This should be a slam dunk but their whole plan seems to be to try and out war monger the War Profiteer party. :shrug: I just don't get it...

1. I am not trying to bash Democrats but to try and encourage action

I am saying we should be able to pulverize the GOP by showcasing American History's Contrast with Democratic Administrations and Republican Administrations especially the extremely incompetent one we have now. What is wrong with us? Why the silence? :shrug: I am truly baffled.

2. Baffled? Yeah, me too.

Could it be the mentality of the country is so addicted to oil that nothing else even matters?

We've allowed two presidential elections to be stolen with hardly a whimper, except here on DU.

We've sat back and watched the unraveling of the democratic process without hardly a whimper, except here on DU.

Thank gawd for DU, eh?
