Well, the mortality rate started shooting up 15 years ago with our embargo, and obviously has skyrocketed lately. Mostly due to the fact they cannot build up hospitals anymore or create the logistics and infrastructure that existed before we invaded. Also there have been a very significant number killed by coalition airstrikes, if we want to get into the weeds...
10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
President Fredo had everything given to him and then used Daddy to get him out of his failed businesses (or in the case baseball, the taxpayers helped him). Republicans don't believe in accountability as demonstrated with the GOP Congress that dominated the past several years and the Fredo administration.

"Acceptable collateral damage" from foreign policy seems to me an unacceptable choice in this case. Now, THERE'S a good reason for voting for Democrats.
There are no Americans in Palestine, Israel, Gaza Strip or Lebanon and the dead just keeps piling up. Watch how many Iraqis will be dead when we leave!

President Fredo. Heh. I still laugh every time I read that. Well done, sir.

We're not leaving anytime soon, so don't bother with that argument. We shouldn't be there but we are and that's that.
The fact remains that the statistic of the dead Iraqi infants and the increasing mortality rate are a direct result of our occupying forces being there. So, if you want to get all-up-in-someone's-face about it, get up with your beloved government clowns and find another strategy. Better yet, vote for Democrats who at least have caused some movement toward concluding this debacle and motivated some Iraqis to get with the program.
Sorry but today's Democratic Party stands for everything I am against.
Therefore you are against healthcare, education, consumer protections, corporate responsibility and accountability.... worker protections (if it weren't for Democrats we would be working like it's 1899).
Republicans are NOT pro-life. They merely (claim) to be against abortion (though Fredo and the Deliar and the TV Doctor who controlled the Federal Gov did nothing on the ONE issue that they are in favor of life.
Meanwhile they spend their entire professional lives dedicated to policies that are not pro-life.
1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.
2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.
3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Iran or Chinese and North Korean communists.
4. You have to believe that there was no art before federal funding.
5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.
6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.
7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th-g! raders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make "The Passion of the Christ" for financial gain only.
12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.
15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.
16. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right! people haven't been in charge.
17. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag queens and transvestites should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.
18. You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy.

You are so wrong and please refrain teling me what I am for.
Healthcare: I am against Universal Health care, because I lived in Canada and know what their healthcare cost. Wealthy people come to the states for their healthcare.
Abortion: I am a Republican and I am PRO LIFE and every Republican I know is PRO LIFE.
Education: You mean the kind of education kids are getting now? Like Boulder CO (have sex, do drugs) or The Cuddle Puddle or Fistgate or 12th grade students that can barely read or students being taken to Planned Parenthood or King and King or Transvestite teachers. OK you got me one that one I'm against the new view of what constitutes education.
worker protections: Well that's a hard one. Democrats were far different then the Democrats of today so I give you no kudos on that one. I wish you would have listed job protection because democrats above all would have our borders wide open giving away all our jobs.
The others I give cudos to both parties.
