twitterLetter: Republicans failed to lead the United States
Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2006 | 7:22 a.m.
Republicans like to claim that the Democrats have no plans. They do, but with the Republicans in control of Congress since 1994, and the White House since January 2001, any plans they suggest go nowhere. But since the GOP brought it up, what do you think of the plans they have inflicted on the nation?
Let's start with the ongoing disaster in Iraq, or the illegal immigrant crisis, or the tax cuts which have caused the national debt to soar out of sight and which have given us an annual deficit. Throw in their poor diplomatic efforts, including on North Korea, and their handling of the hurricane victims, and know that America is really in trouble.
They would never admit it, but we were much better off when Bill Clinton was president. Why would you want to send Republicans back to Congress to continue their witless planning?
