How sad. the GOP has turned the greatest nation in history into the USSR in 10 short years.

1. thats 4 short years, not 10

clinton did alot of good for this country

3. Despite Newt and Trent

The republican takeover started in 1994. Clinton, for all the good he did, was an obstacle they had to eliminate

5. Our downhill slide began in 95 when they took over the Congress

and the TV an radio and newspapers and the scotus. WJC managed to hold off the worst of it for six years, but the deterioration started when GIngrinch took over.

7. how the hell DID they get all the TV and radio stations?

that one puzzles me a bit

9. As we now know, The GOP pays

journalists to spread their lies and propanganda. My suspicion is that this has been going on for more than 10 years. When you add that to the fact that they have ruined the schools to the point where Americans are by far the most ignorant of any industrialized citizens, and you have a foolproof method for brainwashing. As the survey showed, FOX News viewers THINK they know alot about issues, but in fact are bone-ignorant.

10. is thereany way to pay counter bribes?

bribery does make the world go round

11. Sadly, our people have souls

and have limits to how low they will scrounge. The GOP is unencumbered by any morality or conscience. Bush and Delay are two of the most evil men you are likely to run across.

12. i actuallt did "run across"

both ken lay and to delay once, in 1998, both of them drunk as all hell blabbing about how they were gonna get * elected and make huge profits unethically

13. The old fashoned way,

They bought them.

Thanks for posting. I've been thinking about this for awhile - we have become what we used to say we were against.

[Doctor_J]

6. USSA. I like it.

Thanks to whoever came up with that one.

4. Reagan Said "Trust, But Verify" - With Bush, I Say "Distrust, But Verify"

8. Or, "Distrust, and lie if you must"
