>The Republicans were doing well, the economy is going great,
Actually real wages are down, the savings rate is negative for the first time since the great depression, and if Clinton had matched Bush's "great" market growth the DOW would be around 4000 right now.
>low taxes,
The low monthly payments are because we're putting it on the national credit card. In other words, you're being subsidized by your children.
>and no terrorist attacks since 9/11.
Well that's just silly. Remember the anthrax attacks? How about the attacks on our embassy from last month?
>The American people are idiots, and will suffer greatly these next two years.
Uhhh... okay. They keep electing Republicans, so I can't argue. As for the actual topic of the article, they're wanting to do wild and crazy things like get proper standardized radios in the hands of first responders. It's been five years -- why didn't the Republicans do this before now? - Langford, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I wish them well with the upcoming government repair job. Things are really screwed up, and we still have president wacky sitting there ready to veto any or all repair actions at random. We are in such a big mess, it shouldn't be too surprising if it's impossible to get a happy ending. In the end, we may just have to be grateful for any kind of ending.
- TheOther1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4WTF, OMG!! Dems have no exit strategy for Iraq! I can't beleive we are still there! They won the house and senate over 4 days ago!
/sarcasm - wintermd, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Lets see
1) No fix for a broken Social Security system
2) Spending out of control on "Bridges to No where"
3) President uses his one veto for what? Stem Cell?
4) A new Government freebie called "Free drugs" that no-one even asked for.
The Dem's ran from their base (the wacky left) to the middle, the Rep's ran from their base (The middle) to the far right
Guess who won - CassiusBilbao, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3...I'm not touching that.
Being conservative isn't good or bad. It doesn't necessarily mean you're biased. However, there are bias conservatives and bias Republicans out there.
Same for the other side.
As for anyone else interested, please form your own opinion.
Strongly recommended:
Listen to what fellow Republicans say about the country and Bush himself.
Look around conservative sites (the good ones). - Shinta, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Quick, everyone digg the moderate conservatives down for trying to be reasonable!

You are a sad sad person. Keep on trolling... - nixonrichard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Okay, honestly, it's not like "the damage has been done, we can't undue this much paperwork." . . . the dems are in control now so we should see a COMPLETE improvement. Dems promised only a few things: get us out of Iraq and implement ALL of the 9-11 findings. I'm pretty sure they can do at LEAST that much. Probably more.
- TruthElixirX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2*looks really hard for "" or "/sarcasm" or "that was sarcasm."*
I didn't find it... - Dewhead, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I agree. In two years, the Republicans will (hopefully) get back to true conservatism and take back control.
It will be fun to watch the democrats implode. How funny people are to think that the great military minds in the democratic party are going to come up with some "better" plan than Bush had. Lets see---your choices are more troops or less troops. Pulling out immediately isn't really an option and the democrats know it. Lets see them tapdance around that one---no more its all Bush's fault since they are in control now.
I am guessing they will deflect the Iraq issue as much as possible and try to blow minor issues out of porportions to give the appearance of taking the country "in a new direction" but really not doing anything. What a complete snow job they did on the American people. - toppgun, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Shinta
reason is not acceptable. You should know that, this is digg and not slashdot
Science H. Logic, we have a reasonable person, lets start an angry mob!
