weeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and the democrats marched in saying they would do so much. 10
months later, they did shit. Dems talk big but can't deliver.
10 months for the Dems vs 7 years for the GOP...You don't see the
absurdity of your statement, do you, Z?
not at all, Queen Nancy came in with great fanfare, they were going
to make the president surrender in iraq, they were going to end
earmarks, they were going to institue 'pay-go'. What have they
done? Endless investigations of Bush. The dems had NO intent
to do anything except destroy George W. Bush. And they can't
even do that.
Tin foil hat time. Bush destroyed himself by refusing to honor the
COnstitution and serve the People.- Hide quoted text -
