More precious than rubies
Here is a partial list of things which have gone missing since the Republican Party took control of all the elected branches of the Federal Government:
The budget surplus
The World Trade Center
Osama bin Laden
Habeas Corpus
Our allies’ unquestioned willingness to work with us
New Orleans
The Assumption of American moral Authority
America’s ability to frighten the world’s bad guys into not being quite so bad
Low interest rate loans
A vote for any Republican is a vote for all these things. In fact, since we live in a two party system, a vote for anyone other than a Democrat is a vote for all these things. Even when they supinely bend over and allow these things, at least the Democrats don’t initiate them. Right now, that would be a huge step up...
