Republicans have proved that they are weak and ineffective at defending our country...

[kentuck]

After all, they were in charge when the terrorists hit our country on September 11th, 2001. They had ample warnings that we were going to be attacked but they ignored them. Because of the need to unite the country, Democrats chose not to highlight that glaring fact.

Then, Bush and Cheney left Bin Laden and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and went on a personal crusade by invading Iraq. After almost a $trillion dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, we now see a country that is effectively under the control of the government of Iran, the result we most dreaded to see.

For almost 8 years, Osama Bin Laden was in his hideout laughing and mocking the incompetent leadership in Washington. However, his laughing and mocking ended one year ago when Barack Obama sent the Navy Seals into his compound to end his reign of terror.

It is not a misstatement to say that the Republicans have been incompetent in foreign policy. They talk the talk but fail to walk the walk. It is finally time for the American people to accept that reality. They did not keep us safe. They let the terrorists attack us. And we were supposed to believe that they were the best ones to protect our country. Republicans are a gamble.

Republicans are simply bad at this.

3. TSA, Homeland Security, Patriot Act.

Yup, I feel safer already.


The Republicans gift to us but it's still around. Is that what we want out of foreign policy and national security? What would the US be like if the TSA, Homeland Security and Patriot Act were implemented right after Pearl Harbor?






On the bright side you can combine your airport trips with your colonoscopy now.

4. Republicans are exciting...!!!

Back when Clinton was president things were boring. Everyone had work, there was almost no war; peace had broken out all over, and Clinton softly kept government from being shutdown by the republicans in congress.

BORING!!

With Bush, we had stolen elections, bombs bursting in air and in buildings, real fear was once again in the eyes of every non-sheeple type of citizen, and oil prices drove us all crazy!!

It was a thrill a minute. Big excitement. No one knew what was going to happen next.

Now, with AlObama, things are boring again. Peace is breaking out, again. We are now relegated to watching the clown car of primate repitilian republicans roll thru town just to see what kind of crap they leave on our streets.

So that's one reason to keep paying republicans any attention whatsoever.

5. Too busy stealing money to worry about defending the Country. nt
