islamic terrorIt was easy to see why Republicans lost this year. As voters went to the booths Tuesday they were faced with the following 13 horrible facts:

1) There have been no terrorist attacks on American soil since 9/11.

2) The Stock Market - The DOW hit the highest it has ever been in history.

3) Iraq actually has good news: Iraqi security forces continue to develop into a capable force and continue to take the lead.

4) Jobs. Non-farm payroll employment grew by 92,000 in October continuing a trend of constant job growth.

5) Low unemployment. The unemployment rate declined to 4.4 percent - the lowest in decades.

6) More spending money. Over the year, average hourly earnings increased by 3.9 percent and average weekly earnings increased by 4.2 percent.

7) Lower taxes. The Tax Burden on households went up by 20% under Clinton and were significantly reduced under Bush.

8) More Revenues. Because of Bush's heavy tax cuts we now have the highest level of Federal tax receipts in history..

9) The greatest economy in centuries.

Michael Frisby stands outside the door to his 11,000-square-foot home in Fulton, Md.

10) More home ownership ever, ever, ever in American History. And those homes are more than double the size of homes your parents lived in.

11) Low Inflation. Despite record energy prices, core inflation has stayed a steady 2% for the past 6 years.

12) Low Crime. Every single category of crime has seen continuous declines year after year.

13) More markets have been opened to keep America competitive and our economy booming.

It's not hard to see why Americans were heavily dissatisfied. In my previous post I asked the question why do successful, wealthy, lucky celebrity women choose idiot losers for a mate? Well, it seems lucky, successful, wealthy Americans can't stand to have things too good - they just have to screw it up by electing idiot losers to govern them.

Hopefully the Dems only screw up national security a tiny bit and just a small part of Baltimore gets an Islamic dirty bomb. Nothing too big - enough to convince voters they made a big mistake. What maroons!

Comments from Old Comment System
  • I love satire....that was satire ...right?
  • Comment by: Bond on November 9, 2006 12:56 PM

  • Yes - satire for you and me. Idiocy for democrats.
  • Comment by: bernie on November 9, 2006 01:56 PM

  • Do you think, had they known the outcome, the Republicans would have tried to change all those things just a little? Heck, it probably wouldn't have worked - the Democrats are the best in stirring up the lies! We'll see what they do with all those 'no promises' the next few years. My biggest fear is Nancy Pelosi!
  • Comment by: Barb on November 9, 2006 02:54 PM

  • Now we just need Hillary to run for president and us Democrats will be good to go!!!
  • Comment by: Imperfect Christian on November 9, 2006 02:57 PM

  • what a stunning post!..bet the Libs would try to um debate those issues with the usual mud slinging though...thanks for linking..its inspiring Bernie! :)
  • Comment by: Angel [TypeKey Profile Page] on November 9, 2006 03:49 PM

  • I have been bent with the GOP for a couple of years now, but nothing would make me either vote demo or stay at home. We lsot because we stopped being conservatives. We lost because the American people are spoiled rotten little children who have forgotten the meaning of sacrifice. We allow the left to wage class warfare, and tolerate our educational system being so pathetic for decades that people aren't even interested in being informed. Rant over...We have to get to work NOW for 2008! Newt for Prez!
  • Comment by: Robert on November 9, 2006 03:58 PM

  • You know, the Democrats were actually responsible for all those things. Imagine what they'll do now that they have control of Congress. (/sarcasm) :)
  • Comment by: Cheryl on November 9, 2006 04:12 PM

  • This is for anyone. I'm a twenty-plus year (careerist, if you will), second generation professional sailor in our Navy, and a Democrat as well. Though I haven't always been one. Why is this looked at like a sport or some kind of competition? Is winning all that matters? No matter what the cost, including a fractured country. Is that what I am out here at sea for? Don't get me wrong, I can take a healthy dose of criticism. You don't get to twenty years in the military without some thick skin. But I want to believe that we as a country can move forward and make a better world for our children. That we as republicans, democrats, independents, what have you, all have a voice and all share a common democracy. And Bernie, thanks for the link!
