Republican and Democratic Legacies Weighed, Guess Who Wins?

[nuhuh]

When it boils down to historical contributions to the United States, both parties should be examined critically through a lens and while both parties have made mistakes, history records that Republicans have contributed far less than Democrats. Witness recorded history and how it views these accomplishments and failures. I'm sure that there will be disagreement over this list but history rarely lies.

You missed Communist Democrat Spies giving the bomb to the USSR and China

You missed FDR turning over Eastern Europe to the fucking Communists and handing China to the fucking Communists resulting in the murder of well over 100 million people

 

[CrusaderFrank]

LOL @ listing McCarthy as a "Scandal"

 

[whitehall]

You almost gotta laugh, the democrat activists admit that the outing of republican Grover Cleveland's "love child " is their worse example of "felonious behavior" but FDR's executive order that placed American citizens in concentration camps only comes out as #3

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Harding personally had NOTHING to do with Teapot Dome

What a list!

LOL

SOooooooooooooo much fail

 

[Auld Phart]

You missed Communist Democrat Spies giving the bomb to the USSR and China

You missed FDR turning over Eastern Europe to the fucking Communists and handing China to the fucking Communists resulting in the murder of well over 100 million people

Missed the Civil War as well.

I believe the list is based on which party is in the White House. I'm not sure that's the most accurate way of scoring this but perhaps with the law of averages, better things happen when Democrats are in office. Not necessarily endorsing this list but I think that's the point.

Just another bullshit partisan list, like the list of Chickenhawk Hall of Shame so popular a few years back.

You omitted FDR turning over Eastern Europe to the fucking Communists and handing China to the fucking Communists resulting in the murder of well over 100 million people

Not to mention sacrificing 2,500 soldiers and civilians at Pearl Harbor to have a reason to get the U.S. involved in WWII Europe. To the knowledge of no one else but his cronies in his cabinet. Not even Admiral Husband Kimmel was in on the orchestration. Read more in...

Yes, but I left out the fact Republicans kept us safe except for 9/11, and no American cities were destroyed during the last presidency except for New Orleans.

When it boils down to historical contributions to the United States, both parties should be examined critically through a lens and while both parties have made mistakes, history records that Republicans have contributed far less than Democrats. Witness recorded history and how it views these accomplishments and failures. I'm sure that there will be disagreement over this list but history rarely lies.

Dumb ass so I can destroy you


Piece by piece

Well I'll have the rest for you tomorrow. I installed some new malware software on my computer and I must have configured it wrong since it wiped out my history files. I'll generate sources, I'm just not sure if they are original to my post, but they will be authentic to my case.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

You missed Communist Democrat Spies giving the bomb to the USSR and China

You missed FDR turning over Eastern Europe to the fucking Communists and handing China to the fucking Communists resulting in the murder of well over 100 million people

Yes, but I left out the fact Republicans kept us safe except for 9/11, and no American cities were destroyed during the last presidency except for New Orleans.

New Orleans? The City run by Democrats in the State run by Democrats?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Dems Started the KKK and LBJ held up Ike's Civil Rights Bill for 7 years

 

[frigidweirdo]

You missed Communist Democrat Spies giving the bomb to the USSR and China

You missed FDR turning over Eastern Europe to the fucking Communists and handing China to the fucking Communists resulting in the murder of well over 100 million people

Missed the Civil War as well.

I believe the list is based on which party is in the White House. I'm not sure that's the most accurate way of scoring this but perhaps with the law of averages, better things happen when Democrats are in office. Not necessarily endorsing this list but I think that's the point.

The point seems to be.....

... don't vote Republican and don't vote Democrat.
