Haha, what a looney remark. You don't consider the entire Iraqi armed forces surrendering by the thousands, the complete destruction of over 90% of their military hardware and Kuwait liberated a win?

Democrats have won the war on poverty. And it hardly cost anything.

In the sixty-plus years since World war II, Democrats have controlled virtually all of our cities and have made them crime-free hubs of educational excellence.

Democrats brought us Vietnam, after bamboozling the American public into thinking of the Republicans as war-mongers. Same with Afghanistan. Now in Year Nine, with no end in sight.

For every cutting, negative comment one can make about Republicans, there are plenty of egregious blunders made by the Dems. The problem is not one party or the other. It is the national lack of will, and the intelligence to reject political partisanship as anything other than a dead-end game of monkey poker.

Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to have their head examined.

Because what they are trying to do will put this nation in further poop then we already are. Bush spent way more then I liked but Obama is only making it worse. And now the Congressional Budget Office estimates the health care overhaul will likely cost about $115 billion more then stated. That is some big mistake there don't ya think??

I love how people keep pointing out that Neo-conservatives are the ones who spend us into the whole, and not conservatives. Yet they are the ones who keep campaigning, getting votes, and getting elected while the same nuts scream over and over that it's the Democrat's fault. Same thing with "family values", in that people who campaign and get supported because of their "character" should actually behave in the way they raise the standard for. Not that I think one is more or less moral (or have less human flaws), but when you see NeoCon politicians screaming that a Democrat is cheating and to go get them out of office for their slip up...it's best not to have just come back from banging your mistress (the partisan nuts saw nothing wrong with it either).

Now either they are voting for whatever head of lettuce the GOP puts forth to run, or people are just so incredibly dumb they pay lip service to what they believe while voting the complete opposite way. Yet, people don't seem to see the disconnect...which is about as god damn funny as it gets.

Right. Good thing we conquered the Iraqis in the Gulf War. If we hadn't, we might have had to invade Iraq sometime later at a cost of over 700 billion dollars.

And democratic voters don't do the same exact thing? Come on GMAB!! It happens in both parties.

Be fair there really isnt much more they can do other then offer up ideas and solutions. Because they had no power before Scott Brown. Democrats had a filibuster proof majority. They didnt need a single republican to do anything they wanted.

What do you think its going to do after next year? When all the new taxes kick in and medical cost increase. You think your going to have more money in your pocket next year really

BUT

Please tell me how republicans want in your bedroom to dictate your family planning?

Government republican and democrats lie the most lies.
Most of them expand the role of government keep people in the dark and generally are against liberty.
Lower taxes... should = no income tax instead its a number that changes from a few percent.

2. Republicans are Strong on National Security

So where is the proof that the GOP can win wars or keep our country safe? It was Democrats who won World War I and II,
Read up on Pres. Reagan and the Cold War.
