Repugs Have Agenda for Corps and Rich only!

More than half of Americans disapprove of Bush and his repug Congress. Why? Its because they failed to answer the real questions ordinary Americans have about the state of our union:


When will we have an exit strategy for Iraq? Violence is non-stop. Incompetent management is ongoing. And worst of all, the war has cost the lives of thousands of Americans and Iraqis and billions of dollars in fraud.

When will we secure our ports and chemical and nuclear plants, which remain vulnerable? Probably never if the repugs have there way- there's no profit in it, public safety be damned.

When will the repugs put their responsibility to the people before their greed and thirst for power? The repug culture of corruption in the executive and legislative branches has violated the law and cost taxpayers billions.

When will the repugs acknowledge the economic crisis tens of millions of Americans face? Good jobs are leaving this country in droves, and many of the jobs that remain exploit working families by denying them adequate benefits. Millionaires and corporations receive tax breaks while Americans can't afford to save, and the gap between rich and poor continues to widen to levels unseen since the 19th century.

When will we finally do something for the 46 million Americans who lack health insurance? Many have had their lives ruined financially when the worst happened, and many more no longer seek the care they need because they cannot afford it.

When will we make serious strides towards energy independence? We get a greater percentage of our oil from cartels and dictatorships now than we did in 2000.

When will he take steps to further ensure retirement security for every American? Growing old with dignity is a right, not a privilege, and dismantling Social Security in favor of private accounts is the wrong direction for our society.

What about the poor? To claim the economy is good when a quarter of the populace is in poverty or on its edge is ludicrous.

These and other pressing public matters are ignored by the repugs in the fervor to please the corporate rich and fundamentalist fanatics who keep their party coffers and pockets full. As long as they control our government, they can execute the same incompetent, dishonest and destructive government without paying a price at the ballot box. Its time to VOTE the bums out!
