Blame Republicans First!
Edited on Mon Jul-28-03 08:31 PM by gulliver
When you get fed up with $400 billion deficits, blame Republicans first.

When you think maybe there has been some lying and exaggerating in order to scare people to war, blame Republicans first.

When Enron gouges hundreds of millions of dollars from your pension funds and 401(k)s, and you find out that they gave Bush personally 60% more than the entire Democratic caucus in Congress, and you finally understand that your government has been sold out from under you, blame Republicans first.

When the middle of your hunting spot is bought by some corporation to put up a smelting works, when the top is blown off of your favorite scenic hills and the chaff pours downhill into the stream where you fish, blame Republicans first.

When your health care bills soar because the pharmaceutical companies reserve the right to prey on U.S. senior citizens while giving 5-to-1 better prices to Germany, when your HMO won't pay for the pancreas operation you need to live, blame Republicans first.

You see, Dems don't blame American first. America is not to blame. The Republicans have a lot of blame coming for the mess they are making of our country, fiscally, environmentally, and in national security. If they try to hide behind America and say that Dems are blaming the country, well it's just a

shame.

2. great post
The Repubs want to convince everyone that they ARE America and therefore to attack their policies is to attack America. Your post points out the idiocy of that argument.
