How much damage has the Republican Party done to our country??

[kentuck]

I would say a tremendous amount.

We would not have the debt we presently have if not for the policies of the Republican Party. I think that is a fair and honest statement to make.

We would not have the unemployment we presently have if not for the policies of the Republicans. We would not have had the terrible economic crash if not for the ideas and policies of the Republicans. We would not have spent a fortune on the wars. We would not have had a "war on terrorism". That was a creation of the Republican Party.

We would not have had the present division we now have if the Republicans had not filibustered everything passed in the House and if they had not held the budget hostage to the continuation of the Bush taxcuts and causing our credit rating to go down.

Just how much damage have the Republicans done to our country?

8. Unttold and Unknown

this country can never recover from the damage they have inflicted on it

Never

Way too late to turn back the climate change clock, all the war crimes, stolen elections, monsters sitting on the Supreme Court,
Fox indoctrination of the low info voter, loss of life, loss of liberty and on and on

9. More than any 'terrorist' or hurricane.

How many people have died because of GOP wars, policies, and obstruction? A LOT more than died from 9/11 and every hurricane put together. Happens daily.

11. Ralph Nader-then Reagan/Bush41/Bush43, the teapartylibertarians and republicans attempted to ruin US

I blame the republibertariantea
but also Ralph Nader for his treasonous lies

because alot of 60ites trusted him for his prior work so dems didn't care (not me, I did care) in 2000 and 2010

the #1 lie of the evil and the good being one and the same well

thank God and Obama no one will ever vote for a 3rd party waste of time again
and Thank God and Obama we won in 2012 and will keep on working in 2014 and 2016 and never waiver in our fight

THE DREAM LIVES ON
and THE DREAM will be a reality in the very near future but we must never sit on our hands again like in 2010

only ever vote for democrats or in rare cases those that promise to caucus with the dems here on out.

12. Can I call the War on Drugs another bit of damage?

It really escalated under Nixon and Reagan, imprisoning millions of Americans, especially minorities & liberals...

13. Incalculable!

The division goes back much further than this presidency...all the way back to Lee Atwater who gave us Karl Rove and Newt's election to congress.

[woo me with science]

14. How much has damage has the one percent done to our country?

They are not just in the Republican Party anymore, as we can see by the constant fights we must wage against Third Way corporatists infiltrating our own party.

They are eating this country.
