LIES - "Weapons of Mass Destruction" and "Connection to Al Qaeda" should ring a bell. The Bush (I) and Clinton policy of containment was working. Now we have more than 2200 service personnel (and thousands of others) dead and a breeding ground for terrorists.

MISMANAGEMENT - Connect the dots: Katrina,Fema, Michael Brown. Tens of thousands suffered needlessly and perhaps some died because of that incompetence.

CORRUPTION: If the name "Abramoff" doesn't mean anything to you then try these. Republican Gov. George Ryan (IL) is on trial for dishonesty (that led indirectly to the deaths of at least 6 people) Republican Gov. Bob Taft (OH) pled guilty to campaign finance violations. The Republican Gov. of Connecticut resigned over kickback charges. Republican Rep. Delay (TX) has been indicted for campaign money laundering. Republican Rep. Cunningham (CA)has resigned over bribery allegations.

Of course, Rove's problems are not corruption - just the duplicity of exposing a CIA agent while claiming the mantle of patriotism. Speaking of duplicity - how about that Republican Seattle Mayor excoriating homosexuals while he gave his boyfriends jobs. The Dem. Gov. of NJ had a similar problem, but he was not a hypocrite.

If you're a Republican you can be proud of it all.
