What has the Republican Party done for this country in the last 20 years?

[Mr Natural]

They've managed to see to it that as much of the wealth of the nation as possible has been concentrated into the hands of the fewest.

Really.. you had wealth that they took away?? Nope... They took away your freedom to earn as much as your skills and your efforts can get you?? Nope....

It's funny how the extreme lefties try and make it look like wealth redistribution is going to the rich... when the fact is that it is the exact opposite... the wealthy pay more of a share of their income into the government... and the redistribution schemes go to the entitlement junkies....

Why not try and strive for equality in treatment and taxation... and allow everyone to live off the freedoms, efforts, accomplishments, investments, risks, etc that THEY choose to do?

But no.. you and your ilk want equalization in outcome... something for nothing.. and punishment of those who have risked and succeeded...

 

[Care4all]

Nothing.

oh...sure they did. they spent 70 million dollars investigating a president over a failed land deal and ended up with a blue dress;

took a surplus and ran our economy off of the cliff;

got us into a war of choice in iraq and failed to properly pursue the appropriate targets in afghanistan....

only leader in recorded history to cut taxes during war time;

spent millions of dollars on useless abstinence only education; and

and that's without even starting with terry schiavo and the other rightwingnut lunacy.

Are you really that misinformed or just plain out stupid?
DOn't answer that because we both know the answer is BOTH.

The president was impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors", the same bill that Nixon was impeached on. He engaged in behavior that would have gotten any ceo in this country fired (see, Stonecipher, Harry). He was disbarred over the incident. Do you get disbarred for getting a blowjob? Ask one of the lawyers you clean up for.

The Republicans under Newt were responsible for passing the balanced budget. The economyu went off a cliff when Democrats got control of Congress in 06.

Won in Iraq while Obama shows every sign of losing in Afghanistan. How's that war going for ya?

And the federal gov't spends "millions of dollars" on virtually nothing so your criticism is misplaced.

What was won in Iraq?

the repubs under newt could not have accomplished crap without the 1993 budget onmibus reconciliation act, of which not one republican voted for....thank you Democrats of 1993!

 

[editec]

Face it folks.

Given what we've got to deal with now, neither party seems willing to do the drastic things necessary to really solve the problems we're facing.

For either of them to really take that bull by the horns they'd have to take on the very people who support both parties.

Never gonna happen.

You can CODE PINK or TEA PARTY till you wear down your shoes and protest yourselves hoarse, but it's not going to make one damned bit of difference.

Things have to get a LOT WORSE before the American people have the balls to change them.

Um let's see:
Removal of Saddam Hussein. Check
Ending of WMD program. Check
Enforcement of UN resolutions. Check.
Destruction of al Qaeda in Iraq. Check.
Democratic government installed. Check.
Draw down of U.S. forces. Check.

I'd say "Mission Accomplished."
Let's see how Afghanistan, the "good war" is going to stack up.

Four thousand dead soldiers, a trillion dollar debt to Communist China, and an obligation to yet another foreign country that's going to go on forever.

Other than that, no a damn thing.

[xsited1]

What has the Republican Party done for this country in the last 20 years?

They were able to keep spending in check between 1995 and 2001. After that, they started taking psychedelic drugs and turned into absolute idiots. This allowed wacko psuedo-marxists like Pelosi, Reid and Obama to take power.

I'm ignoring you because you're a fucking moron.

ok lets do baby steps for you. which of these are wrong and/or not done by republicans:

expand government - dhs, expanded dept of education, energy, and a number of others, created more IRS agents and duties, faith based initiatives

created moer entitlements - medicare part D

useless wars - iraq I && II

stripped liberties - patriot act, fisa updates (warrantless wiretapping), monitored all emails and phone conversations in the country, "free speech" zones, etc

loopholes - you really want to argue this one?

you can do them one at a time if it will make it easier for you or you could just admit you are a partisan hack

The GOP Congress balanced the budget under Clinton. They impeached the bastard as well, making a Democrat the only president to be impeached in this century.
Bush understood that the present situation is a new "war by other means" rather than the police action Clinton wanted to treat it as.
Ditto on the Supreme Court nominees.

Remind us what Democrats have done, other than raising taxes, extending civil rights to terrorists, pissing off our allies, emboldening our enemies, raising taxes and wrecking the economy with new mandates.

Republicans spent 40 million dollars of taxpayer money, endless hours of investigation and
"impeached" Clinton for getting a blowjob. Yea, that really helped the country.

Richard (Watergate) Nixon avoided impeachment. So did Ronald (Iran Contra) Reagan.

Wait a second. Did you say "pissing off our allies"? You know they thought Republicans were more dangerous than North Korea?

This isn't Democrats. This is our allies:

The survey has been carried out by the Guardian in Britain and leading newspapers in Israel (Haaretz), Canada (La Presse and Toronto Star) and Mexico (Reforma), using professional local opinion polling in each country.

It exposes high levels of distrust. In Britain, 69% of those questioned say they believe US policy has made the world less safe since 2001, with only 7% thinking action in Iraq and Afghanistan has increased global security.

The finding is mirrored in America's immediate northern and southern neighbours, Canada and Mexico, with 62% of Canadians and 57% of Mexicans saying the world has become more dangerous because of US policy.

Gawd,
You guys are dumb. Delusional and dumb. The worst possible combination.

Yeah, and Clinton SHOULD have been impeached. He had the following choice:

Get blowjobs, or Kill Bin Laden. He chose the first one.

Why bother responding to this jackass? He wasn't impeached for getting a beejer... he was impeached for being a liar under oath. But of course, that little bit of info escapes them. And then, to further back up another stupid ass claim, he uses some liberal euro rag as a source.

Clinton was impeached by the Republican controlled house (no surprise there) against the wishes of the majority of the American people (again no surprise) and acquitted by the Senate.
Republicans impeached him because he said, in an affidavit, that he never had sex with ML. In his mind, he didn't really include a BJ as "sex". The affidavit was never used in court.
This was a case for the "divorce" courts.
At least he wasn't spending Democratic money in a faux lesbian bondage dinner club.

Republicans have no respect for Europe. One of the reasons they see Republicans as dangerous. Nothing new there.
