Which Crisis Or Tragedy Has Helped Democrats The Most?

[mudwhistle]

Democrats have been taking advantage of every crisis that has happened in America for decades. I was wondering which crisis helped them win elections or will help them win elections the most?

It's clear that Sandy Hook has helped Obama get us off of talking about Benghazi and he's using gun legislation to help give him back a Democrat House. It's really sad to see him politicizing this tragedy to the extent he has.

You can make a top ten list of favorite Democrat disasters, tragedies, or crisis or you can just pick which one of the following has in your opinion helped them the most:


Prisoner Abuse At Abu Ghraib
The Sandy Hook School Massacre
Katrina
9/11
The Trayvan Martin Killing
Rodney King
Slavery
The Iraq War
George W. Bush (Their official neverending scapegoat)
Illegal Immigration
Gulf Oil Spill
Occupy Wall Street
Exxon Valdez
3 Mile Island
Health Care
Global Warming
Watergate
Enron
Halliburton
The 2008 Recession (The worst economy since the Great Depression)


With a list like this it seems when things go wrong Democrats always come out on top. It makes one wonder if they sort of enjoy all of the bad that happens in or to this country.

Any tragedy that benefits either party is awful. Both parties are full of assholes. I despised Bush. But Obama has also gotten on my nerves. Nowhere near as much as Bush did yet.

Well Obama has had only 4 years while Bush had 8 to get on your nerves so it's understandable, but I expect Obama will wear on you faster than Bush in the next couple of years. The closer he gets to leaving office the more screwed up he will become.

Well I think that both parties want extreme things, and that if both parties have equal power they'll stop each other from enacting those extreme things. And it will be great for this country.

For example, Clinton didn't do anything too crazy because the republicans were in charge of congress... and America prospered. Reagan didn't do anything too crazy because the Democrats were in charge of congress... and America prospered.

My gripe with Bush is that Republicans had complete power over everything and it got to their heads. During his last 2 years I thought Bush was great.

I hated Obama for his first 2 years because he was also jizzing himself over his power but since then I think he's been fine.

Thoughts?

My opinion- as someone who used to vote Republican but now doesn't trust them.

Katrina- Where they replaced the professionals at FEMA with cronies.

2008 Recession- where they let the banks run amok, while Chris Cox had his inspectors watching porn all day on their company computers.

Mitt Romney- Nothing like nominating a Mormon Douchebag who says he likes to fire people.

Iraq- Where Bush ignored the Generals and made one bad decision after another.

I could go on. BUt the problem the GOP is not nearly one of idealogy, but one of competence.

Under Nixon, Reagan and Bush-41, the GOP got things done.

Bush-43 pretty much fucked up everything he and his cronies touched.

I agree with this completely. This guy was handed a balanced budget and no wars. Just look at the mess he created. It was after him that I really started questioning the Republican message. Low spending? Take a look at the numbers. Bill Clinton is the most fiscally responsible president of my lifetime. All the republicans have spent like crazy.

I'm in the same boat. Obama isn't fixing things like I would hope, but he's also not creating the level of disaster that Bush did.

That would be "The Crisis" by Thomas Paine. Duh.

[DiamondDave]

The 'tragedy' of people not earning as much as they think they should when emptying trash cans or flipping burgers.. I mean it is such a TRAGEDY that they don't earn 40K while doing that

though the dems did profit off all of the above tragedies ....the biggest and most enduring tragedy that they capitalize on is the issue of slavery .

Tragedies that damage the country hurt everyone. No one is "helped". Too bad Republicans don't understand this. It's why they could let millions of unemployed Americans suffer while protecting tax cuts for billionaires. The wealthy few are all they care about. Everyone else are doormats who have worn out their welcome.

Yeah.... only the fact that you get to get taxed less matters... equality for those who can foot the bill for things you want does not matter... they can take more punishment and should pay for your shit



Ridiculous
