Where were all the great ideas, during the last 8 long years?
Republicans seem to be queued up at every tv & radio station, just champing at the bit, for a chance to enlighten us all about their wonderful health care plan, their fantastic energy plan, their scrumtilicious econmic recovery plan.........and yet, the problems they are attempting (now!) to "remedy", were created by them.

They spent 8 years spending us into oblivion, and now they seem to be the only ones "allowed" onto the airwaves, to tout their brilliant schemes.

If this delightful plan were to be carried out in the "real world",:

bank robbers would not be prosecuted, they would be made bank managers

car thieves would be put in charge of car dealerships

arsonists would run the fire departments

pedophiles would be sought, to run day care centers

1. Repukes don't really have much of a plan beyond "Bait, Switch, Fuck 'Em and Flee".
The plans that got them into office would supposedly help working people.

Once the work is done, the tide only lifts the ones with yachts . . . while everyone else is screwn.

As usual.

Over and over and over again.

What's that saying . . . something about attempting the same thing a dozen or so times . . . expecting the same results? What's that called again?

4. They don't believe Government is capable of doing anything positive
And so aren't surprised when it fails.

2. there was
start a war someplace and open the door to the vault for my buddies
divert attention to anything but what we are doing.
treat all with disdain and disgust.
no one else really needs to know what we are doing.
