Roy here ya go. Oh and lets not forget cash for clunkers that saved the auto industry from collapsing. Another thing the Republicans hated. Could you imagine what could have been done if the Republicans just got out the fuking way instead of obstructed with Kenneth Star and Clinton and Obstructed Obama for eight years. Now u want to say Democrats don't want to do anything. I know u are stupid but wow did u really miss the last eight years. I hear u are a welder. Do you know u are suppose to wear a special mask over ur face or you could go blind? Is that what happen Roy? You went blind? You still can hear Roy why not use your ears or are they so filled up with right wing bullshit that you can't hear either.
If you listen to Republicans or even the media, (the Fox News Nitwits) it goes without saying that the Democrats have no platform. No goals. No plans for the future other than hating President Bush. Now, hating President Bush takes a lot of time because there is a lot to hate. However, our leaders in Congress are putting the finishing touches on a unified campaign strategy as we speak. Soon enough the world will learn the Democratic goals for the future.
And of course we have discussed what those goals should be. We have also discussed what Progressives today want. And we have learned about Progressives past and their accomplishments.
But I thought it would be helpful to put in list form all of the accomplishments and achievements and victories of Progressives, Liberals and Democrats over the last century.

I am sure I am missing something. Feel free to add to the list. But it goes without saying, every single leap forward over the last century has been the result of Democratic, Liberal and Progressive policies, positions and goals. Every step backward is most assuredly the result of Republican and Conservative policies, positions and goals. So yes, everyone, the Republicans are right. The Democrats have no plans for the future and have done nothing in the past, aside from protecting people from pollution, racial discrimination, barriers to the handicapped, dangerous products, poisonous food, bank failure, hazardous workplaces, overwork, unemployment, handguns, extreme poverty, hunger, and deadly diseases; and aside from providing public education, money for college, balanced budgets, the right to vote, a decent retirement, electricity, the Internet, time off for family, access to government and credit records, and the best examples of peace and diplomacy in our time.
What have the liberals ever done for us?
Everything.
