The next time a Repub says that the Democrats don't stand for anything...
I would like for a Democrat to remind them of April 27th, 2006 when Senator Ron Wyden stood up on the Senate floor to try and get a vote to kill a $20 billion dollar giveaway to the Big Oil companies. And the Republicans were silent - every damn one of them. We know what the Democrats stand for. Unfortunately, we also know what the Republicans stand for. The Republicans had a chance to stand up for the little guys and repeal the $20 billion tax subsidy to the oil companies and they fought it every inch of the way. I hope the whole world is watching.

2. The Republicans are digging their own political graves....
They continue to say Fuck You to whats left of their supporters....and the former supporters who are fleeing in droves are mad as hell....

Bravo for Sen Ron Wyden standing up and trying to stop this bullshit welfare to the oil companies....

4. They need it to compensated for being paupers during the Clinton years...
Don't you remember? All of the oil execs driving Ford Fiestas to the trailer they called an office out on their oil field. And then there was their shoeless kids running around Texas...so sad...*sniff*...

5. They are very good at the "blame" game...
And they never accept responsibility for any of the disasters they have caused.

7. If Democrats don't stand for anything
why do "conservatives" froth at the mouth and find so many reasons to hate us? It must be because of what we stand for.

8. I just refer them to the party website
because they obviously have never been to check it out.

They're just ignorant ranters who believe everything they hear on GOP hate radio.
