Complete the following: "I survived the Bush Administration, but...."
"... my 401K didn't".

"... 4500+ of our bravest Americans didn't"

"... all I got was this lousy foreclosure notice"



You get the idea.

6. ...but it will take years for me to come out of the corner and quit sucking my thumb.
The sad thing is I may not live long enough to trust my government again.

I know I will always look at the Republican Party in a different light. I can no longer trust them, either.

I have lost friends, because they believed what they were told and scoffed at my talking points. I hope they come back to me, as they truly are good people.
