What hasn't Bush, McCain, and the GOP fucked up?
Seriously,

International Standing
Military Depleted
Afghanistan (resurgence of Taliban)
Iraq (country's infrastructure destroyed less stable and more bloodshed than when Sadam was in power)
The Economy (Trade deficit, income levels, inflation, etc)
Nation nearly bankrupted
Health Care
An entire city almost gone
Morals falling (i.e. crime rising, teen pregnancy, drug use etc..)

What have these people done right? Anything? Ronald Reagan at least had a few successes I mean inflation did go down and employment went up even though he was a fuck-up too. What the hell did these people get right?

dream comment made Tangerine LaBamba go nuts, I fear she may have lost it completely.

On edit: she actually lost it in another thread, but the aforementioned post got her going (not that that is hard to do, I hear.)

2. Getting elected
The GOP may be grossly incompetent at running the country, but they know how to get elected.

You forgot:

Public faith in democracy and the rule of law (election fraud, unanswered questions about 9/11, impeachable actions, ignoring subpoenas)
