Why Republicans don't deserve our votes Years ago, the Republican Party led by George Bush and Dick Cheney came into office with a financial surplus in the treasury left there by the previous Democratic administration.
In eight years, the Bush/Cheney regime destroyed the country's financial system, started two never-ending wars, and plunged America into trillions of dollars in debt. Millions of jobs were shipped to China and elsewhere around the globe. Now, in this election cycle, the Republicans claim they have changed. Nonsense! If elected this fall, the Republicans and their Tea Party friends will seek to privatize Social Security, the Veterans' Administration and Medicare. Then, they will deregulate (again) the Wall Street and bank scammers, producing yet another financial crisis and the bankruptcy of the aforementioned programs. A right-wing Republican dream come true! If you believe that this Republican Party and their Tea Party associates will actually help people who are unemployed, have no health insurance, and have homes in foreclosure, you probably also believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. I am a registered Democrat that previously voted for Republican candidates, including Amo Houghton. I will never vote for a candidate of this Republican Party.
