GOP's Dirty Little Secrets
The Republicans have a set of dirty
little (actually not so little) secrets they don't what you to know --
and certainly
don't want you to think about when you go to the polls in November.
And the fact is that some of those secrets could provide Democrats with
silver bullets this fall.
Over the course of eight short years -- between 2000 and 2008 -- the
Republicans methodically executed
their plan to transform American society. They systematically
transferred wealth from the middle class to the
wealthiest two percent of Americans -- slashing taxes for the wealthy.
They eviscerated the rules that held
Wall Street, Big Oil and private insurance companies accountable to the
public. They allowed and encouraged
the recklessness of the big Wall Street banks that ultimately collapsed
the economy and cost eight million
Americans their jobs. They ignored exploding health care costs, tried
to privatize Social Security, gave the
drug companies open season to gouge American consumers and presided
over a decline in real incomes
averaging $2,000 per family. They entangled America in an enormously
costly, unnecessary war in Iraq,
pursued a directionless policy that left Afghanistan to fester, and
sullied America's good name throughout the world.
Their economic policy of cutting taxes for the wealthy and deregulating
big Corporations failed to create jobs.
In fact, over his eight year term, George Bush's administration created
exactly zero net private sector jobs.
They inherited a Federal budget with surpluses as far as the eye could
see and rolled up more debt than all
of the previous Presidents in the over 200 years of American history.
And in the end they left the economy in collapse.
This was not a disaster that could be remedied overnight.'s
So why can't we get any Democrats to list these facts?
Who would vote for the sons of bitches - unless it's the most ignorant
among us?
If Democrats would bother to educate the
stoopid, they'd never lose.
The Teabaggers are screaming for accountability AND they want
the guilty back in office.
but that's all it would take to create a multi-administration Demo-Dynasty.
