Can anyone remember the last time the republicans did something right?

[joeprogressive]

I honestly can't think of one positive thing that has come from this administration in the past six years. These are the biggest f*** ups ever to run a government.

[MnFats]

1. Umm....Abe Lincoln? Preserved the union? Ended slavery? since then, though..

...the GOP has had a long drought as far as getting anything right.
Oh, wait. Eisenhower -- the interstate freeway system was kind of his pet project.


that's all I can think of....

[More Than A Feeling]

2. I'd like to be the first to cite the Do-Not-Call List

It's the classic example whenever I'm asked for something Bush did that I liked.

[joeprogressive]

10. Yeah, but will it really have monumental impact

It's not like, providing Universal Health Care or balancing the budget. Plus I'm still getting calls. But in the interest of fairness the calls have decreased so thanks Bush for this grand achievement.

[Fovea]

3. Nixon and the EPA.

or maybe his wage price controls.

[MnFats]

5. yes, on the EPA. But look what came with it.....

....the quagmire war that is the standard now by which all other quagmires are judged.
.....and he set the standard for swiftboating decades before anybody heard that term...

[Fovea]

7. I got no arguement with that

But compared to what the EPA did at 911 NYC, I felt I needed to credit even a vampire like Dick.

I look forward to the day when I can look out at the EPA building a few blocks away and be proud of it.

4. He has EXPOSED what POOR LEADERS DO...LOSE>

Bush has LOSERSHIP ....Looks like one, Talks like one, Thinks like one, etc....

6. This is what I tell every smug Republican I meet.

Repubs, even to this day-will come at you like they are on top and know everything.

My response is "Come back to me with that attitude when you can get something right-anything- just one little thing right- be it war, the economy,disaster response, little boy interns-whatever- please, get something right- THEN come to me and tell me how silly I am."

8. Well, they really screwed it up, but the drug plan for seniors is

helping a lot of poor folks on fixed incoms who had to pay the total cost of their meds before that program.

[joeprogressive]

12. Once again they screwed this up too

Did you see what the comptroller of the US said on 60 minutes? Something to the effect it will be one of the biggest policy blunders ever. We are going bankrupt and part D will make things much worse. We would have been better off negotiating w/ Pharm companies or spending the money on Universal Health Care.

9. When Dole lost to Clinton

[Cobalt-60]

11. It"s Ike

The Interstate Highway system.
It was under him that NASA started too.

[bagimin]

13. Ike's farewell warning n/t

[Singular73]

14. They forced Nixon out

That was quite a while ago though.

What have you done for me lately....

[TheDebbieDee]

15. The only thing the republi-"can't"s are good at.....

is stealing elections!

[rzemanfl]

16. When Nixon resigned. n/t

[mentalsolstice]

17. Poppy signed ADA into law

That's the last thing I remember (really it's the only thing that comes to mind), and he took a lot of flack from other pubes for it.

[nevergiveup]

18. Didn't Ike send troops

to Little Rock?

[rasputin1952]

19. Eisenhower was no friend to blacks, but he took the Constitution and

Laws of this nation seriously. He was the last true Consevative president this nation has seen.

There was the Interstate System, because he saw what the Autobahn had done for mobility in Germany; and w/that came infrastructure, building of bridges and other necesities for a truly industrial society.

I'm not sure if it was Little Rock, I thought those were Federal Marshals...he sent the 101st to protect some kids going to HS I believe, not sure where though.
