Why No one trusts Republicans

Mott the Hoople

Mott the Hoople

Sweet Jane
They shredded the constitution
…illegal wiretaps
…falsified intelligence
…secret prisons
… use of torture as an accepted means of interrogation
…Terry Schiavo
…the war on science
…denial of Global Warming
…the fascistic secrecy of our elected officials
… presidential signings that declare the President above the law
…the breakdown of the wall between church and state
…the outing of a clandestine CIA agent for purely partisan political gain
…the corrupting influence of K Street
… the total sell-out of the legislative process to corporate interests
… appointments of unqualified cronies at every level of government
…Harriet Miers…Brownie…Abu Ghraib… Scooter
…the complete mismanagement of the war in Iraq
…the lies about the complete mismanagement of the war in Iraq
…the grotesque budget deficits
… the pathetic response to Katrina
… a civil rights division dedicated to undermining civil rights
…an environmental protection agency that refuses to protect the environment
…eight years of a smug, simple-minded, incompetent, unqualified President
... and a press that was in denial about the obvious fact that for 8 years we had a smug, simple-minded, incompetent unqualified President.

That's why Republicans aren't trusted.

No. I don't trust anyone farther than I can throw them. That's just human nature. Besides, it's an irrelevant question. Government has an important and very much needed function. As a society we absolutely need sound, affective, competent and wise governance. I've despaired of seeing that come out of a right wing dominated Republican party. That's why I left the party and became a Democrat. For all the Democrats flaws (and they abound) at least they can govern with out pissing on their own feet.

Try citric acid. Hydrofluoric will really fuck you up!!

And yes, under the Clinton administration and democratic leadership our nation had the greatest expansion of peace time prosperity in our nations history. The contrast compared to Bush and a Republican led government is stark indeed. They pissed it all away in the name if right wing ideology, the incompetent fucks.

..and during that time of peace and prosperity, our enemies were waiting patiently and planning their attack on us, knowing full well the Democrats weren't paying any attention, as usual.

I think Mott has been spending time up in Michigan. His brain is temporariy f'd up.
 
No one could trust the GOP the last few go-rounds.

Conservatives were not satisfied and liberals were certainly appalled, though they may have been regardless.

I had certainly heard from more conservatives (not just libertarians) the accusation that Bush is a leftist, among other things, than from liberals that Obama is not genuine in many of their concerns.

Ultimately the GOP incompetence and lack of focus on their core principles that got them elected came front and center in a time in which even the politically disinterested people of the country were suffering enough to do something about it.

What credible argument did the GOP have that it offered better proposals than Obama? They initiated very similar ones and were therefore beaten on territory that should naturally belong to the left. It will be a lesson for some time that the GOP is directly responsible for the expansion of government that has occured under President Obama.

They set most of the dangerous precedents that make this kind of unlimited government a bipartisan idea in Washington.

You reap what you sow. If you set up a government big enough to give you everything you want (which is not just a statement about economic affairs), it is big enough to take everything you have. Big government is convenient when you wish to benefit from state power, but a terrible thing when you are on the outside of it.

If George W. Bush had been able to keep Republicans united on what they said they actually believed, and what they were expected to do when they were elected in 2000, we might still have a Republican government today.

Their traditions are not controversial with most Americans, it is their performance and the ulterior motives of their leadership and figureheads.

It is all the better that we do not have that kind of government until the proper lessons are learned about what should be expected of the right of center party in this country.
