This is what happens when the Republicans run the whole show
If there is no Democratic majority in Congress, the Administration has nobody to answer to and we are screwed. If for no other reason than that, people of all political stripes should desire a Democratic majority in Congress.

When these Gangsters think they can get away with lying their way into a war, ignoring the warning signs of 9/11 and then awarding the incompetents with our highest civilian medal, appointing a torture apologist as AG and appointing a failed horse show organizer as head of FEMA (feel free to add your own examples of their arrogant incompetence) - well no wonder we're seeing a disaster response that would shame any industrialized nation.

You cannot lead the world's richest and most powerful nation with a third world style government. My disgust for Republicans cannot be overstated, I can't even talk to anyone I knew voted for Chimpy.

Dante designated the ninth, and final, circle of Hell for betrayers----guess where the Chimp would fit in nicely.

2. I know they just can not seem to run anything but for profit
They really are top down guys and govt. is not that way as it is a service. Post office needs not to make money it is just a service. They seem to look at the cost of every thing. Sort of crazy also as it would cost every one less money to just have a govt. health care system. We who have ins. would pay less. We know from other countries.

3. It doesn't hurt if some services make a profit...
as long as that profit is reinvested wisely.

4. This should be right at the top of the Dems fight to take back power....
Every Dem appearing on tv and elsewhere should hammer this point home every chance they get.

The Rethugs have controlled all elective branches and this is what we get......
