What has REPUBLICAN RULE delivered to this country? Let's make a list, shall we?

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

I will start with stuff off the top of my head:

GREATER POVERTY

REFUGEES WITHIN OUR OWN BORDERS

SPYING WITHOUT WARRANTS ON AMERICANS

WAR WITHOUT CAUSE (and the soldiers maimed or dead for that)

EXPANSION OF NUCLEAR ARMS DEVELOPMENT

REDISTRIBUTION OF NATIONAL WEALTH (to war mongers and robber barons)

TERRI SHIAVO

PRIVATIZATION OF PUBLIC EDUCATION (e.g. leave the lessor than rich kids behind)

DEBT - NATIONAL

DEBT - CONSUMER

DEBT- FEDERAL

WAR PROFITEERING

TENS OF BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS U-N-A-C-C-0-U-N-T-E-D BY THE PENTAGON

ENERGY POLICY HELD IN "SECRET" FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

BARBARIC TORTURE

GREATEST DIVIDE BETWEEN RICH/POOR SINCE THE DEPRESSION

PROOF THAT, IF YOU ARE GREEDY AND DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANYONE OTHER THAN YOUR OWN SELF, YOU WILL CHALLENGE ALL LAWS TO YOUR BENEFIT AND MISREPRESENT REALITY TO ALL PEOPLE WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONSEQUENCES UPON OTHERS,...AND "MOSTLY" SUCCEED TO PROFIT YOURSELF. THOSE STUPID, GULLIBLE FUCKERS NEVER KNEW WHAT WAS COMING!!!!

[Vincardog]

1. Don't forget turning our country from Moral leader to despised pauper

[Warpy]

13. ..And the loss of a major city

with rebuilding funds diverted to casinos with party ties and to corporations with party ties and nothing left over for the people who used to live there.

That is their shining achievement. Crony payoffs for them and nothing for us defines this administration and defines their whole party.

[OhioChick]

2. Good God...

This list could go on forever. I'll give you a K&R for what you've come up with off of the top of your head. :)

[mrreowwr_kittty]

3. ABSTINENCE ONLY SEX ED!! WOO HOO!!

:(

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

25. We could take it a step further and proffer "HEAD IT OFF" legislation.

:evilgrin: Some guy try to do a girl and "HEAD IT OFF"!

:rofl:

;(

,...not so funny,...

:shrug:

[lonestarnot]

4. Residential ghost towns with signs that say for sale bank owned.

[lonestarnot]

6. Oh and 1 out of 100 imprisoned.

[jgraz]

8. Not one of which is this guy

[lonestarnot]

20. Wonder what will be the outcome for a man like this? I bet it can't be good.

[jgraz]

24. You'd be surprised

Unless you believe in hell (I don't), most of these scumbags have nothing but lives of quiet luxury in their futures.

Edit: Of course, no matter how long or how well he lives, he'll still be Karl Rove. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

Edit 2: Except, of course, Karl Rove.

[lonestarnot]

30. Trapped in his house or surrounded by protection. What quality.

He could get leprosy

[OhioChick]

22. Ohio is Nearly There. n/t

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

32. Corporate welfare financed by American's blood, sweat and treasure!!!! eom

[dubeskin]

5. Nice

Let us add:

Ignorance of Climate Change

Intertwined religion in government

A Social ideal of bigotry and discrimination

Skyrocketing oil prices

Expanded corporate power

ETC...

[jgraz]

7. Here's one to hit your Fundie friends with

HIGHER ABORTION RATES

[lonestarnot]

11. So much for that what was it? the charity thing...

:think: damn... :hurts: why can't I think of that crap?

[lonestarnot]

14. Faith Based Initiative.......... Gawd! puke!

:puke:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

19. OMG what a boondoggle that has been!

My bf and I are always joking about how we should start a church in a strip mall and suck up some of that lucre.

[lonestarnot]

21. NO FUCKING CHILD LEFT BEHIND OMG!

[mrreowwr_kittty]

27. Actually, it's NO FUCKING CHILD'S BEHIND LEFT!

That can be interpreted in numerous ways, none of them good, and all of them sadly true.

[lonestarnot]

28. Better!

:applause:

[Lint Head]

9. Fascism

:dem:

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. If you are amongst the haves and the haves more they HAVE DELIVERED

don't forget that

Oh but let me tell you, there is no class war :sarcasm:

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

29. I am DEFINITELY one of the "have less".

My stature has nothing to do with education or hard work: I've got those cornered.

I am not "connected".

So, yes: as always there is an economic structure that is at war with the rest of us to maintain its status.

[lonestarnot]

34. You are not alone! But then we have integrity!

:toast:

[Amonester]

12. May I add:

UNACCOUNTABILITY TO ALL PUBLIC FUNDED DEPARTMENTS

IMMUNITY FOR ALL CONSTITUTIONAL-LAW BREAKERS

(off the top of my head too)

[lonestarnot]

17. Yes you may! And I will raise you.

Milking stud horses.

[ananda]

15. Sounds like "Jericho"

That show is such a metaphor for BushAmerika.

[zabet]

16. The attempted extinction of the middle class.

[Redstone]

18. (And all those dead Iraqis, including SO many children.)

Little baby boys and girls. Mothers and fathers too, but worst of all, little BABIES.

Murdered by terrorist attacks. Because, you know what's an act of terrorism? Dropping two-thousand-pound bombs into a crowded city in the middle of the night. THAT'S an act of fucking terrorism.

And how many times did we do exactly that?

Redstone

[lonestarnot]

23. And the reason given! I hate that fucker!

[lonestarnot]

26. How to rig an election and get away with it!

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

31. Oh, I forgot imprisonment of political opponents and OPPRESSION of political dissent. eom.

[tabasco]

33. Through sheer negligence, allowed terrorist attack of 9-11.

As Richard Clarke reported, no anti-terror meetings prior to 9-11.

Completely disregarded Clinton's warnings and counter-terror plans.

[lonestarnot]

35. NUGH UGH

MIHOP

[tabasco]

36. I chalk it up to reckless neglect.

Which is pretty close to intent.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

37. "RECKLESS DISREGARD",...I believe that would be the appropriate description.

That day also became their lotto/loot dream ticket come true!

Yes?

[Ishoutandscream2]

38. A long, seven plus years nightmare

I used to have high hopes for our country. The Republicans have taken away that hope for me.

[mwb970]

45. This is the worst I have ever seen it.

And I thought Reagan was bad! That just makes me laugh now.

[southerncrone]

39. Castration of Congress

[jonnyra]

40. The Party

The Party

Step into the room
check your soul at the door
aint gonna need that no more
yeah its dark for a reason
dont be frightened
no room in here for the enlightened
gotta have strict security
to keep partyin with impunity

we have a place for the lawless
a safe haven for corruption
those ghostly white faces
with dollar sign eyes
will show you the places
where blood turns to oil
where words spin around
that big vat of lies
dont cover your eyes
its a beautiful thing

lets go down in the basement
theres some dealin goin on
the backs of the strugglin masses
quite a mind bending sight
no dont turn on the lights
we like it this way
dant wanna scare away
the spiders and cockroaches
we may need to eat them some day

that strange creature on his back
is a freind of ours
we met from below
yeah we know about the stink
it comes around late at nite
quite a sight dont you think?

but it says what we want
just as we knew he would
with no sense of decency
or remorse or morality
oh the hypocrisy...

this is the room where things get dirty
where condi dances round with dick
while the creature gets his kicks
and laura drops ‘em off
and ends up on the floor
we like to watch as couric
kisses tonys snow white ass
ahh the look on her face

you can join in if you want to
just keep the lights dim
and Id stay away from him
hes gotta a thing for blood
and old Harriets been known
to bite it off just as you cum
but have a good time
‘cause the musics sublime
and the thought of a crime
is furthest from our mind

Step into the room
check your soul at the door
aint gonna need that no more

[Perry Logan]

41. The infant mortality rate is going up for the first time in 40 years.

[Perry Logan]

42. World terrorism has increased sevenfold.

[cloudythescribbler]

43. What have the Repukes delivered, since 1994? CRAP & MORE CRAP!!!!! and war

They extended the Civil Rights Act to include employees and staff of members of Congress. PLZ -- I am interested in hearing other positive PROGRESSIVE accomplishments of the Repukes, even as small-potatoEs as that one.

[Perry Logan]

44. Then there's that REPUBLICAN PEDOPHILIA.

And assorted other sex scandals.

[dysfunctional press]

46. "WAR WITHOUT CAUSE"...??? there most definitely WERE causes for the war...

albeit all were unethical, immoral, and/or illegal ones.
