Lest we forget... .

[Cary]

How did Republicans fail us in the last decade? Let me count the ways:

1. Tax cuts for the rich and tough shit for everyone else.

2. Iraq war.

3. No Child Left Behind, unfunded.

4. Near doubling of our national debt in only seven years to nearly $10 trillion.

5. Reversal of environmental progress.

6. Global warming denialism and disinformation.

7. Lax regulation and staffing regulatory agencies with incompetent cronies.

8. Opposition to stem cell research.

9. Corruption.

10. Torture.

11. Katrina.

12. Outing a non-official cover CIA agent for their own political purposes.

13. John Roberts, et al.

14. Citizens United ruling.

15. Attempt to define critics of the war and their stupid policies as somehow “un-American.”

16. Fear mongering and lying us into wars.

17. Gramm Leach Bliley and the Financial Futures Act of 2000.

18. "Supply-side economics" sophistry.

19. Undersupplying and undersupporting our troops, while enriching contractors.

20. Neglecting, abusing and trashing our good name in the international community.

21. Terry Schiavo.

. . .

and they're salivating at the opportunity to do it to us again in November.

3. Where is our sense of urgency?

That's what bothers me.

I know where they are, but where are we? Cutting off our own noses to spite our faces?

6. Pretty much

Obama's not perfect, so let's all not vote and hope the Democrats lose so we can "send them a message"! And claim that anyone who points out our fallacy sees Obama as the messiah, becuase we're just making valid criticism! YAY PROGRESSIVES!

2. Only 21?

I just got tired of listing things.

Feel free to add to the list.
