The Iraq War has been a miserable failure.
George Bush has been a miserable failure. The Republicans have been a miserable failure.

Is that the simple truth the Democrats need to state?

Just look at the facts. Gasoline at $3.00 per gallon. 2500 dead and 20,000 wounded in a war based on lies - not just lies but intentional lies. A president that has been so incompetent, not just in protecting our nation from foreign enemies but in dealing with tragedies like Katrina and its aftermath. A Congress and Senate that have rubberstamped everything the incompetent President has proposed. Please convince me the last 6 years have not been a miserable failure. Give me something to believe.

1. One of the all-time "biggest failures" in modern world history...
Historians will not look kindly on this period in history.

3. Cindy Sheehan?
My Mom just sent me this horrible fundie email about Cindy Sheehan still not putting a headstone on Casie's grave. That she gave up custody of him at 7, and that she is currently giving up custody of another son. Arrrghh this smug self righteous right wing crap drives me nuts. Why are they so smug, yet stupid? It just really gets in my crawl.

6. I haven't had enough posts yet to put new topics up.
I just woke up, and this pious, smug, hate filled email from my MOM was the first thing I read.

9. Hi, maxfisher.
Welcome to the DU:smoke: If you are bothered by hate-filled noise from the right, you came to the right place. We are all dealing with this in one form or another.

It's a great place to blow off steam. I know I do....(8,754 posts later)....

7. You would think there would be some sort of requirements
for holding a position in the American government that would ensure that the government you elected was the one you got.... this one is broken.

8. I think we should have a government like England
Where you can have a vote of no confidence, both the last 2 elections were suspect, the result
Bush gets a free pass. We need more control of our election process, our recount process,
electronic voting and on the party in power. Allowing the American people to have a say
every 4 years is a joke.

10. bush has been an exceptional failure at everything he has ever
attempted. There is not one thing he can call his own that can be considered a "win". His entire life has been failure after failure, and the nation didn't listen to us in 2000 or 2004. His support level should be at 12%, but there are people that are foolish enough to believe that this clown can pull a golden rabbit out of his hat.

bush will go down in history as the worst president, with the worst cabinet in this nations history; and as usual, it will take Democrats to clean up the mess.
