We can’t take anymore of their ‘success’

Republicans have much to be proud about.

1. The largest job loss in history.

2. The largest transfer of wealth to the rich.

3. The largest deficits in our history.

4. The largest trade deficit in our history.

5. The war in Iraq, which is resulting in the loss of women’s rights and the destruction of the Christian community. This group has survived in Iraq for more than 1,500 years and is now suffering the burning of its churches and businesses. Those who have the money are leaving Iraq.

This president even wants to turn over our Social Security to the financial people, who are rejoicing at this.

How much more Republican success can we stand?
