Don't say "they lowered taxes" cause they didn't. They POSTPONED taxes. All that money the Reps borrowed from overseas to pay for their war has to be repaid someday.
And don't say they've prevented another 9-11, because even the Reps don't have the guts for that lie. There's absolutely no evidence of a plot in action being busted by the govt.

America spoke last month about Republicans. And the concensus was: they haven't done anything. If took a major attack like 911 to finally wake up the napping bush adminstration on terrorism. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB147/index.htm
tax cuts for the rich have greatly reduced tax revenue under the bush administration. As a percentage of the GDP tax receipts are significantly lower when bush took the white house in 2001 from 20% in 2000 to 18% in 2006. Between those years if was lower.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report just after it are funny as hell with all the material the GOP is providing
When Tom Ridge retired as the head of Homeland Security and talked about how much work it was and how many months it took to come up with the color scheme terrorist alerts, Stewart did a great bit on how he used the same colors to paint his bathroom.
They have also shown America what happens if they dont involve themselves in the running of their country. You get this brainless idiot, who is CLEARLY in over his head, floundering around Hes run up the debt by 3.5 trillion, alienated all our former allies, lost the respect that it took us a hundred years to earn in only 5 And we all watch as Education, the cost of Health care, Social Security, and Medicaid become worse and worse.
And after promising us that America was ready for any national emergency he actually sets new highs for incompetence with Katrina

well, they lowered taxes, that is a fact! and not post poned it... by lowering the taxes they have stimulated growth and employment thereby increasing the tax base. this in turn will make more tax revenue than by not lowering taxes and at the same time stimulating growth which in turn continues to increase the tax base and revenue which, so on and so on, got it if the dems didnt need all that money to give to deadbeats and all their little personal problems, the debt wouldnt be so great to start with!!P

They destroyed the middle-class dream of prosperity.
Those centrist were wasting everyone's time with all that save the middle class nonsense.
Look how much better everything is with a good war and all those dirty jobs moved away to China.

Don't ask a question & then tell me what to say or what not to say.
They did lower tax rates leading to economic growth & higher tax revenues.
They have protected us from terror attacks for over 5 years. The lack of successful attacks over this time can not be mere coincidence.
Did the possibility occur to you that national security considerations prevent the govt from disclosing information about successful counter terr operations?

What difference would it make WHAT I say? You obviously have your opinion and from the tone of your question, you don't want to hear the other side. You just want your beliefs confirmed.

anything we say you will find some left wing kook with some half wit answer to why that didn't happen. Its really easy to do now days find something to refute facts. Just because you fail to see them doesn't mean they dont exist.
