How Republicans Have Hurt Us

Raw Story has a report by Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter that shows how the Republicans have hurt average Americans. Raw Story's has a summary: The report, available here, blames lawmakers' ties to lobbyists -- who, they say, make an average of $650,000 a year....

Keep an eye out for a fairy tale put out by the White House: The Rescue and Rebuilding of the Gulf Coast by Karl Rove. Actually, I'm just kidding about the title. The White House does plan to issue their own report about their responses to Hurricane Katrina. I predict it will be in the fiction section of your bookstore.

This entire port agreement that the Bush administration has made with Dubai Ports World is just wrong. Read the article at MSNBC and I am positive that you'll agree with me. (Remember--this administration was warned that Bin Laden was determined to strike the U.S. prior to 9/11. What did Bush do? He went on vacation.) We should control our own ports and their security. Why can't we have American companies do such jobs? Do we have to outsource everything?????

According to an audit, Tom Noe, Republican fundraiser and coindealer, owes the state of Ohio $13.56 million. The Dayton Daily News has the details. (Tom--The citizens of Ohio want you to pay us back pronto!)

Steven Colbert just said that Bush is not a brain thinker---he feels things. Colbert is almost as good as Jon Stewart.
