Why don't Democrats show images of 9-11 and talk about what happened last time the republicans controlled the government?

10. That picture...
I have always wondered what was going through his mind there. I suspect he was thinking the number is up. I'm going to be impeached. It has been exposed that I am not fit to be President and that I was warned this was going to happen and did nothing about it. Instead...the Democrats rallied behind him for the good of the country and got kicked in the teeth for their patriotism.

Had that been Pres. Gore sitting there like that (I know he never would have handled an attack like this in that way)...he would have been impeached 9/12/01 and likely executed on the Mall on 9/13/01. With the media cheering it all on.

Bush*'s actions on 9/11. He said that if one of his officers ever had that "deer in the headlights" look that Bush* had on that day, he would have relieved him of his command... :scared:

15. It is the most pathetic image of a so-called 'leader'
What a curse he and his Republicon cronies were (and are) upon America.

5. the only 'class' in politics is based on who your daddy was
and how much loot he had. Politics is about power.

7. First one that smelt it, dealt it.
I guess if your blind bungling of national security led to a massive catastrophe, you own it enough to use it

9. They have the guts to do what they think will win. Not saying it
is right--just is. In it to win it, by whatever means necessary.

11. Especially since it was just a couple of weeks ago that most of them
voted against health care for the first responders and clean up crews. That in my estimation is the trifecta in chutzpah. Happened on their watch, didn't protect the safety and well being of the first responders and won't take care of them after-wards. But they keep telling us that they are the party that will keep us safe. Assholes!!

13. "Republicanism" became the default position
when the media was overtaken by the right wing. 4 decades of one-sided reporting has worked its "magic".


Anything even remotely "left" became the unusual..the scary, odd, weird, and even dangerous.

the movie that was the reagan admin, only reinforced the mythology of what is "american"...what is correct..

propaganda works:(

16. Because we have NO response to their noise machine
we react rather than act. Same old story.
