What They've Done

How have the Republicans shaped the way we live?
>>Corruption: Tom DeLay, Jack Abramoff, Bob Ney, Duke Cunningham, Tom Noe, Bob Taft are just a few names of Republicans who have brought scandal to a new level in government and politics.

>>>Voting scandals: All you have to do is mention Florida and Ohio and people can recall the voting irregularities that have occurred in both states. Here in Ohio, the Republican-controlled boards of elections, delivered ballots for Bush in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, because of strategically placed people like Robert Bennett (head of Ohio's GOP) and former member of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.

>>>>The Supreme Court: Bush has stacked the Supreme Court with strong right wingers. The latest court opinion indicates their stance. USA Today: The Supreme Court ruled for the first time Wednesday that governments can ban a particular abortion procedure. The decision emphasized the value of fetal life and made plain how a single change in a justice can affect the law of the land.

By a 5-4 vote, the court revived a federal ban on a method critics call "partial birth" abortion and upheld a law that lacks an exception for a mother's health......

Let me emphasize that last part ".....and upheld a law that lacks an exception for a mother's health....."

>>>>>Iraq: The President and his Republican supporters are going to keep the war in Iraq going no matter the human and financial costs. Because they will not admit to their arrogance, ignorance, and mistakes, we are must suffer the results of their continuing support for their war in Iraq.

As we look forward to November 2008's presidential election, remember that it DOES MATTER if you vote Democratic. We must find a way out of this mess that this administration and the Republicans have placed us.
