What Have The Democrats Ever Done For Us?

Reg: They've taxed us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had, not just from us, from our fathers and from our fathers' fathers.

Stan: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers.

Reg: Yes.

Stan: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers' fathers.

Reg: All right, Stan. Don't labor the point. And what have they ever given us in return? (he pauses smugly)

Xerxes: Social Security?

Reg: What?

Xerxes: Social Security.

Reg: Oh yeah, yeah they gave us that. Yeah. That's true.

Masked Commando: And Civil Rights!

Stan: Oh yes ... Civil Rights, Reg, you remember what the city used to be like.

Reg: All right, I'll grant you that the Social Security and Civil Rights are two things that the Democrats have done ...

Matthias: And Public Works ...

Reg: (sharply) Well yes obviously Public Works... the roads go without saying. But apart from the Social Security, the Civil Rights and Public Works ...

Another Masked Commando: Electrification ...

Other Masked Voices: Medicare ... Education ... Health

Reg: Yes ... all right, fair enough ...

Commando Nearer The Front: And repealing prohibition ...

General Audience: Oh yes! True!

Francis: Yeah. That's something we'd really miss if the Democrats left, Reg.

Masked Commando At Back: Clean environment!

Stan: And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now.

Francis: Yes, they certainly know how to keep order ... (general nodding) ... let's face it, they're the only ones who could in a place like this. (more general murmurs of agreement)

Reg: All right ... all right ... but apart from Social Security and Civil Rights and education and electrification and health care and roads and a clean environment and public order ... what have the Democrats done for us?

Xerxes: Brought peace!

Reg: (very angry, he's not having a good meeting at all) What!? Oh ... (scornfully) Peace, yes ... shut up!

(sorry, spelling)

The U.S. has had a recession/depression each of the last three times the Republicans have controlled the White House, the U.S. House and Senate: GW Bush now, Eisenhower in his first two years as President, and the Great Depression, which began under Herbert Hoover, a Republican, preceded by Republicans Calvin Coolidge and Warren Harding. Each of those three presidents had Republican Houses and Senates to work with every year of their presidency.

This is just my personal gut feeling, but if Bush is re-elected, we'll see our next Great Depression. These bozos just can't keep up this facade of our economy's condition much longer, and something's gonna blow, big time.

When your neighbor gets laid off, its a depression

When you get laid off, its a catastrophe.

Question: What do you call an unemployed Republican?

Answer: A Born Again Democrat.

:dem:

:yourock:

Ah.ha, that's right, the biggest surplus ever..$70 billion and what did Bush do with that? Yup, turnedt it into the biggest deficit ever...-$500 billion.

Although whether they consider THAT a good thing is up to debate.
