Do you agree with the following statement:
"This has been a year of strong progress toward a freer, more peaceful world and a prosperous America. It's been a good year for the American people."
The above quote was said by President George W. Bush. I totally disagree with his comment. 2005 has been a horrible year:
1. 880 of our military have died in Iraq in 2005 and many others have been wounded.
2. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas are still recovering from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The promised help and rebuilding have yet to start.
3. We discovered that FEMA is a totally inept agency.
4. The Republican Culture of Corruption: Abramoff, Scanlon, Ney, Tom DeLay, Duke Cunningham, Bill "insider trading" Frist, Ohio's Tom "Coingate Noe, Governor Bob Taft's ethics violations, etc., etc., etc.
5. The CIA leak case involves people employed in the White House including Scooter Libby, possibly Karl Rove, and others.
6. Under Bush's administration, our national debt has increased by $2 trillion.
7. Teri Schiavo's death was used by Republicans as a publicity stunt.
8. Thousands of people continue to die in Darfur.
9. Our government is spying on us without going to court to get warrants.....
10. Continued tax cuts for the rich in a time of war are creating problems in our country.
There are many, many, many more items that could be included in this list, but it is getting late.
