Curious - do you blame the GOP for anything?

How about the attacks on Iraq? They weren't a full-scale war, we didn't get sucked into a quagmire, and it wasn't clear Hussein wasn't trying to rebuild his chemical weapons program as he wouldn't let in any inspectors at that time. What should we have done? Waited for Hussein to attack Kuwait again, or Saudi? Hope and pray?

Kosovo - yes, an air war, we got Yeltsin marginally on our side - after Bosnia, what's your suggestion? Sit back for another Srebrnica? I'm more pissed that we didn't do anything in Rwanda, not that we did a little bit in Kosovo (and I don't think we were entirely fair with Serbia, but tough shit - those were the cards Milosevic dealt us. And fuck the Chinese - using their embassy to help the Serbs with intelligence rooms - should have bombed it 3 times. Okay, we said sorry, fine, whatever.

Clinton didn't make welfare reform a "war on the downtrodden" - quite a lot of poor people got jobs during his years, and it was tied in with things like Earned Income Credit improvements. Again, what's your alternative - more and more people on welfare like we had as of 1992? Go in, never come out? Yeah, touching our sacred cows hurt Clinton, even 15 years later. Democrats don't even realize Bush made it much worse - just blame Clinton syndrome. Blame NAFTA for all the jobs lost to China - all makes sense.

The point is that here, on this site, you best have your cites and sources with all the facts before you make your assertions, The point is that what Obama had to do is minimal and without causing near the harm compared to what the GOP will do. The point is we are now needing to know what the future plans are, because we already know the history.

The bigger point is how devastated and damaging the GOP - Romney/Ryan budget will be to the poor and middle class, thus to the majority of our nation.

Have no idea how, if your point is to tout the GOP as being the more positive party for the majority of us in comparison to the Democrat's, you could possibly have the data to support such a claim.

And how about the stupid war

Why do I need to provide data about the GOP? We all know that they like cutting assistance to the poor. The point was that Clinton and Obama did it too.

In reply to Destor, I don't think that he

Anyone who has litigated (let alone been a party) a divorce knows the truism that if you put a private eye on ANYONE for a simple week of 24/7 surveillance, enough stank will accrue as to render pliant the most previously recalcitrant negotiator. I'll kick in for the Bohner tail, or volunteer to carry a camera. That's how you get a stick on the cheap. Put differently, no one ever turned down a request from J. Edgar H.
