How you forget Clinton dismantled our very strong military, Reagan had built.
Your making my point for me.

Who jacked with us when Reagan held office?

Who Jacked with us, before and who jacked with us during Clinton?

Can you be any more vague then that?

There's probably a tee shirt or a ball cap with a big D in a circle in it for you if you do.

If you feel that the America you've lived in, isn't exactly what you think it should be, then use your vote to exact that change upon us all. We've all had that relative obsessed with rearranging their furniture, they have painted their living room multiple times yearly and constantly complain of the restriction of the poor floor plan of their home. The inheritance of a country like America through the vote is the highest form of enabling for someone voting in a Democrat candidate. Sure America did fine for the first 150 or so years, but we've initiated an IRS to provide the funding for the kinds of changes that would make America a better place, resistence is futile. If you want more out of government, it's just going to cost more, that's fair isn't it?

1) clean energy and green economy is progress
2) jobs and education is progress
3) justice and peace is progress
That sums it up, the democratic party is the sloganering and platitudes party.

1) clean energy and green economy is progress
Clean/green energy is just an ideological preference and a liberal agenda item. We already have energy, so its not like forcing us all to buy green energy is progress, or giving us something something we do not already have.

Green energy, e.g. solar and wind, is not an improved form of energy, in fact it costs more and it is unreliable, no wind on a cloudy day equals no energy.

2) jobs and education is progress
I'm not sure how any political party has the lock on wanting to promote jobs and improve education. The past two years have shown us that the only way democrats think a job is created is if they use taxpayer money to buy a job, and the ratio of dollars to a job is about $250,000:1

Education - Democrats do not have some magical way to improve education, they just toss money at it. BTW, Bush increased federal funding to education more then any president before him.

3) justice and peace is progress

Justice? The 0bama DOJ will not provide justice to whites, as the New Black Panther voter intimidation case has proved.

Peace? Democrats have gotten our country involved in more wars and conflicts then republican presidents.

I like the new democratic party logo.


The circle represents the toilet bowl and the D is spinning around it on its way down to the sewer.

Your president owns two car companies, owns large portions of banks and insurance companies, ans is giving tens of billions to big corporations to subsidize green energy. There are just as many crony capitalists in both political parties, and we need to start voting them out.

Yep.
