2. It always seems like an impossibility until it actually happens.

5. And then when it DOES, "the exception proves the rule" "an example of how the system WORKED!"

"future plant designs reduce the possibility of this to zero" etc.

9. Japan is one of the most unstable pieces of land on Earth. The

chances of a nuclear disaster over say a 100 year period were nearer to "certain" than "nearly impossible".

3. All they have to offer is criticism and ridicule.

They don't seem to have actual solutions to any of the problems facing our country.

4. Someone needs to make an ad from this. IN the meantime

it gets shared on Facebook.

6. Republicon Family Cesspool Values

If it would be good for America, then Republicons will either mock it, condemn it, or block it in the interests of serving their billionaire SuckerPuppet Masters...

7. When liberal predictions come true they always say that no one could have predicted this.

11. Thousands of scientists have been screaming bloody murder about

the nuclear risk in Japan. Europe is next followed by the U.S. One major nuclear catastrophe in Japan could kill everyone there, not to mention the risks to other locations. And, the contamination could last up to 200,000 years.

13. And if I were a betting man

I'd bet a shiny nickel that they're the first ones rushing to the pharmacies now to clean out the stocks of chromium iodide.

14. They didn't think that they'd lose a war in Afghanistan.

They were wrong about Iraq
They were wrong about a BIG storm being able to flatten New Orleans
They were wrong when they yelled Drill Baby Drill
They were wrong when they deregulated the banks and the stock market
They were wrong when they said all those tax cuts for the wealthy would create millions of new jobs in America instead of China.
They've been WRONG all along.

Nobody but an idiot would vote for losers like the GOP.
