"We've never known what the GOP would do if they controlled all three branches of government, and now we do: record deficits, wars without end, rampant corruption, isolation from the world community, invasion of privacy and a looming theocracy. Happy?"

Speaking for myself [JayLake], I want to ask my Republican friends: unless you're an End Times Evangelical or in the top 1% of wealth in the United States, what is left in the Republican party for you? Fiscal responsibility? Prudent foreign policy? A stable domestic and international security environment? Economic growth? Job growth? Lack of government intereference in private life? States' rights? Moral values? It's all gone now, folks. Hell, you're going to lose access to birth control soon if things keep following the GOP agenda.

Minus a blow job or two, we had a much richer supply of all those things under Bill Clinton than we do now. I'd much rather have blow jobs in the Oval Office than Karl Rove or James Dobson.

Preach it, Brother Jay.

The few people that I still hang out with that helped vote the Repugnicans in (and actually admit it) either are woefully regretful, or still have their head so far up their ass . . .

Either way, the damage is done.

First of all, let me say I've never heard the term "Repugnicans" before, but I adore it.

Second, I'm not one, and glad for it.

Third - I've been thinking of posting something like this in my LJ for some time, because I wonder about what they are thinking now. I'm seriously curious as to whether or not those who voted Bush in are embarrassed about it.

Why did they trust a guy who ran four companies into the ground to run the country any better?

And was responsible for executing more state prisoners than any governor of any state in any time in US history.

You may disagree, but that part doesn't bother me so much. I'm much less against executing convicted criminals (and yes, I do feel a little uncomfortable that the justice system is imperfect enough to convict innocents, and yeah, maybe some of the folk that TX executed with W at the help didn't deserve it) than I am about executing citizens (soldiers or otherwise) of a foreign country that did not attack us. At least the folks on Death Row (probably) DID something to deserve it, y'know?

I respect your position if you're against the death penalty, though.

I just think Shrub's done worse things than that.

I'd much rather have blow jobs in the Oval Office than Karl Rove or James Dobson.

Now that I think about it, I'd kinda like to have a few too. But it does seem like a pain to have to drive all the way downtown for that.
