People That Voted Republican...

[Repo]

In a small way I feel sorry for all the people that supported the Republican White House and Republican Congress; the people that voted Republican did so because they believed the White House and Congress. All those people have to show for it is lies, spin and deceit, not to mention criminal behavior. It is sad really...

Congressional Republicans came into office claiming to end corruption and big government and instead of ending either of them, they raised them both to a new level...

Lobbyist and convicted felon Jack Abramoff's relationship with Republicans have put some behind bars and others with pending criminal prosecution. Republican Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham was convicted of taking bribes from defense contractors. Illegal activities were occurring in Republican Congressman and former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's office. He has stepped down from Congress while he faces trial on campaign fundraising charges. Michael Scanlon, DeLay's former aide has pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe public officials and DeLay's former chief of staff Tony Rudy has pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges. Jack Abramoff has ties to many Republicans including Montana Senator Conrad Burns, the Christian Right's Ralph Reed and others. But it doesn't end there. Republican Senate majority leader Bill Frist is under investigation for insider trading. There seems to have been a lot of criminal activity under the Republican Congress...

There has been a lot of government under a Republicans. They expanded government and the debt while cutting taxes. Basically they pay for a larger government by charging it and having the next generation pay for it long after they have retired to their condos in Florida. Your kids and your kid's kids will be paying for the overspending of the current Congress. What did the Republican Congress and Republican White House give you? They gave you a war. They have no idea how to win the war nor how to get out of the war but they gave you it anyway...

The Republicans increased the size of government creating the Department of Homeland Security. Their first big test was helping the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina and they failed miserably, leaving men, women and children to fend for themselves for days. If they respond that bad when they know a hurricane is coming, just imagine how they would respond to a sudden terrorist nuclear attack. I think it is pretty safe to assume if an attack happens in your city, you are on your own so prepare with Hurricane Katrina in mind...

The Republicans were ready to turn over the control of key American ports to United Arab Emirates based Dubai Ports World. After 9/11 one would question turning over control of American ports to an Arab government company but most Republicans seem to be okay with it until the media made it public. It must make those that voted Republican wonder why they did when they look at the record...

Now court documents show that the White House leak in the CIA leak investigation was leaked by President Bush himself. Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby testified that he was told by Cheney that Bush authorized him to leak classified information to the media. Bush has stated he would fire anyone that leaked classified information. Now you are talking semantics here. A president can declassify information, so one could argue that if a president authorizes it then it is no longer classified however there is a certain process used to declassify information and Bush didn't use the proper methods to declassify the information so it may have still been classified. Bush knew who the leaker was and yet he still said he would fire anyone that leaked classified information. Now if you believe the argument that it wasn't classified, at the very least President Bush misled the American people by not telling them that he declassified the information and by pretending he didn't know who leaked it. Either way, if the president really did authorize Libby to leak it then he is a scoundrel for misleading the American people. If Cheney lied to Libby and President Bush didn't authorize the leak, then the scoundrel is Cheney...

I do feel a little sorry for those people that voted Republican. They are looking pretty stupid these days with all the lies and corruption. I feel especially sorry for those that are still proud of voting Republican, not only did they get fooled in the last election, they are so dumb that they will do it again. Republicans are consistent; they make the same mistakes over and over again...

pretty concise wrap-up, repo...it's so hard to keep up anymore.

Yep, and still do. Who should I believe? An adversarial press? Democrats that crave power like fat kids crave fudge? Get a clue.

All those people have to show for it is lies, spin and deceit, not to mention criminal behavior. It is sad really...

Nope, all we have are lower taxes, 2 shiny new conservative Supreme Court justices, abortion "rights" on the way out and 2 less middle eastern tyrants thumbing their noses at the world.

Congressional Republicans came into office claiming to end corruption and big government and instead of ending either of them, they raised them both to a new level...

Hahaha a Democrat supporter bemoaning "big government", what a hoot. I bet if all that "big government" spending went towards liberal projects you would be hailing today as the beginning of a new golden age! And don't act as if Democrats are puritans when it comes to corruption. They are just as guilty.

Once again, you seem reluctant to include Democrats. Harry Reid enjoyed Abramoff directed funds. read more on the Dem/Abramoff connection here. Every 2 term president in the history of this country has had these non-scandal scandals pop up in their second term, to act as if it's strictly a Republican problem shows either willfull ignorance of history or a straight up attempt at deceit. It's even worse now that the Dem golden boy got caught breaking the law and nearly lost his job for it, that sent them into full blown dementia.

There has been a lot of government under a Republicans. They expanded government and the debt while cutting taxes. Basically they pay for a larger government by charging it and having the next generation pay for it long after they have retired to their condos in Florida. Your kids and your kid's kids will be paying for the oversp

And how is this any different than the way government has worked since...well forever? We're all still paying for Democrats (specifically FDR) bloat of the government, and that was over 60 years ago. Anything the republicans have done pales in comparison to needless government expansion under Democratic leadership.

What did the Republican Congress and Republican White House give you?

I explained above. They gave me a meatier tax refund for the last 4 years, a strong conservative foothold on the SCOTUS and less middle eastern genocidal assholes.

They gave you a war. They have no idea how to win the war nor how to get out of the war but they gave you it anyway...

They have an idea how to win it, by not letting Democrats get ahold of the reigns. we'll surely lose it once that happens. Democrats are bound and determined to lose as badly as possible in Iraq, they don't care about the Iraqis that are free for the first time in 40 years. They want to bring the troops home so they can cut a few more divisions from the military, sending thousands of Americas finest to the unemployment line, they love the troops! And don't say they wouldn't because they did it when Bubba was in charge.

The Republicans increased the size of government creating the Department of Homeland Security.

9-11 showed clearly that coordination between intelligence agencies was badly needed. DHS and the Patriot ACT facilitated that. It was needed, unlike useless Democrat created agencies like the DoE.

Their first big test was helping the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina and they failed miserably, leaving men, women and children to fend for themselves for days. If they respond that bad when they know a hurricane is coming, just imagine how they would respond to a sudden terrorist nuclear attack. I think it is pretty safe to assume if an attack happens in your city, you are on your own so prepare with Hurricane Katrina in mind...

Katrina was a local problem first, and the Democrats in charge at the state level failed. The Democrats even at the city level failed. Nagin let 200 school buses sit and get flooded instead of ordering them used in the evacuation. That's incompetance. Funny how that when Florida is hit by a hurricane, as we often are, things work out pretty well, orderly evacuation, adequate shelters, supplies, maybe that's because we have state leadership that aren't walking bungholes like the Dem leadership in LA.

The Republicans were ready to turn over the control of key American ports to United Arab Emirates based Dubai Ports World. After 9/11 one would question turning over control of American ports to an Arab government company but most Republicans seem to be okay with it until the media made it public. It must make those that voted Republican wonder why they did when they look at the record...

DPW controls ports all over the world and US ships dock at them daily. Your insinuation that merely because they're arab they can't be trusted is nothing but racism. DPW is world known for being very reputable and in compliance with every required maritime security measure. Great way to help out a much needed ally in the War on Terror.

Now court documents show that the White House leak in the CIA leak investigation was leaked by President Bush himself.

If the info is declassified, it's not a leak.

Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby testified that he was told by Cheney that Bush authorized him to leak classified information to the media. Bush has stated he would fire anyone that leaked classified information.

read a paper. Bush has the authority to declassify info as he sees fit. He did that and it was released.

Now you are talking semantics here. A president can declassify information, so one could argue that if a president authorizes it then it is no longer classified however there is a certain process used to declassify information and Bush didn't use the proper methods to declassify the information so it may have still been classified.

How do you know? Where you there? What are these "certain processes" to declassify info. Please tell us since you have all the answers. This is nothing but another media driven "scandal". He declassified the info and had it released, get over it.

Bush knew who the leaker was and yet he still said he would fire anyone that leaked classified information.

Wrong, he said he'd fire anyone that leaked Plame's name. At this point it's looking more and more like she wasn't even covert and the info came from the press anyway.

Now if you believe the argument that it wasn't classified, at the very least President Bush misled the American people by not telling them that he declassified the information and by pretending he didn't know who leaked it.

In your rush to hate you've confused two different things, which is understandable since the media is trying their best to tie them together. The NIE "leak" was declassified info used to show Joe Wilson was a liar about Iraq and Niger, info he by the way admitted was correct in his book. The Plame "leak" was...well whatever the hell it is.

Either way, if the president really did authorize Libby to leak it then he is a scoundrel for misleading the American people. If Cheney lied to Libby and President Bush didn't authorize the leak, then the scoundrel is Cheney...

Once again, releasing declassified info isn't leaking.

I do feel a little sorry for those people that voted Republican. They are looking pretty stupid these days with all the lies and corruption.

I feel sorry for those that voted Democrat. You got nothing out of all the time and money spent. Your party has degenerated into nothing more than a platform to spew hate. You have no new ideas and no new plans for America. Democrats haven't come up with a new idea since the Depression, and even that did more harm than good.

I feel especially sorry for those that are still proud of voting Republican, not only did they get fooled in the last election, they are so dumb that they will do it again.

Wow, with such love shown for them by you and your side I can't possibly see why they wouldn't vote for Democrat! Hey here's an idea, instead of running on no agenda other than Bush hatred how about you guys come up wih some compelling reasons to vote Democrat other than tired old slogans swiped from MoveOn.org newsletters? I know it sounds crazy but it's typically how elections are won.

Republicans are consistent; they make the same mistakes over and over again...

A Democrat never make mistakes, ever , except perjury and witness tampering...hmmm wonder who that was? As bad as you think Bush is at least he hasn't been impeached, that's an honor we save for Democrats only.

the bush bot is indeed a true believer....flailing away as he circles the drain.

This from - did Karl Rove commit treason - or Dick Cheney - or Scooter Libby. I've seen theknife make up to seven consecutive posts in his flailing frenzies. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. And that circling the drain thing really brings back the '04 elections. How's the water in the treatment plant?



And what's this now - Repo isn't a loyal Republican? WTF! Boy, just when you think you know someone...

Judging by the clusterfuck of hodgepodged conspiracy theories and glaring omisssions that made up Repo's original post I'd have to say flailing frenzies seem to be the norm for certain people around here.

rather than address record budget deficits, record trade imbalance, failed foreign policy, an unwinnable war in Iraq, record energy high energy prices, the failure to catch Ben Laden, conspiracy to defraud the American public and Congress in the run-up to said war, criminal investigations of GOP members in Congress and the senior White House staff, illegal wiretapping of Americans etc etc, the GOP leadership in Congress has decided to focus on what really matters:

Social Issues Top GOP Pre-Election Agenda

WASHINGTON - Protection of marriage amendment? Check. Anti-flag burning legislation? Check. New abortion limits? Check.

Between now and the November elections, Republicans are penciling in plans to take action on social issues important to religious conservatives, the foundation of the GOP base, as they defend their congressional majority.

Keep on flailing knife.


The budget deficit will be addressed when the U.S. government spendaholics can no longer get credit. The trade imbalance will also even up when U.S. investments become overpriced and lose their appeal. Foreigners will always bitch and whine about the greatest country on earth because they're pathetic losers who'd rather cut down their betters than improve themselves. High oil prices will reduce greenhouse gasses which would have the liberals dancing with glee since they've been trying to raise them for years with extra taxes, but since they can use it as propaganda now it's "terrible". Bin Laden is only a minor part in the war against terrorism and it would be stupid to focus on him instead of the entire movement. As for the numerous slanders and lies by the liberal sore losers that are being ignored: WHAAAA--WHAAAA-
-WHAAAAAAAAAAA!!

heh - translation: 6 years of GOP rule and the country is so fucked that you can only hope maybe the next regime can fix it. glossing over an endless string of policy failures, corruption eruptions, competency deficits, and political embarrassments must be wearing thin on you guys, huh?

lets' see - when was the last time we had a period of relative peace and prosperity? gee, i guess that would be the Clinton years.

My life's as peaceful and prosperous as ever only now I get to keep more of my money and once again buy high capacity magazines for my guns, though I stocked up before blowjob bill began to disarm law abiding americans in preparation for the liberal agenda of heavy taxation and oppression.

I'd like to know what effect the present administration has had on your life to make you whine and complain unceasingly. My bet is absolutely none. You just heard the other parrots whining and complaining and couldn't help but join in and start squawking the same things.

[multi]

Foreigners will always bitch and whine about the greatest country on earth because they're pathetic losers who'd rather cut down their betters than improve themselves.

thats a pretty closed minded attitude you have to people outside your country
there are idiots here with the same sort of stuck up ideals..and in every country
truly the bleating of weak minded sheep

Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.

[albed]

Disarming the population has always been the first goal of oppressors.


How's your freedom to bear arms holding up multi? (No this isn't about intravenous drug use.)


How much of your earnings (if you had a job) would your government let you keep? Your government shears its sheep more than mine does-"bleat-bleat"-because the sheep here aren't as submissive as there.


Of course if you're a parasite living off the government dole your country is "better" but it's weaker because of people like you and because it parasitizes the productive people to support the non-productive people instead of using its resources to make itself stronger.


Sheep don't like freedom with it's dangers and uncertainies. They prefer a dominant government to herd them and keep them safe and fat and happy instead of facing the challenges of a life of independence and freedom.


So keep sucking on your bong and enjoy being safe and fat and happy.
