  Lotus Feet

  Thanks to your fustian revisionist view of history, each article you produce reminds me of why I rejected your seriously flawed system of political thought when I was eleven years old.

  The last eight years of your wholesale support of gross incompetence, brought us many times the following list of disgusting results from your government. I don't know how you can show your face in public. Perhaps, that's why you find refuge on the Internet.

  1. The tragedy of Walter Reed.

  2. The termination of U.S. Attorneys

  3. Blackwater and civilian contracts

  4. Military Commissions Act

  5. Plame

  6. FEMA and hurricanes Rita and Katrina

  7. Warrantless wiretapping

  8. Extraordinary rendition

  9. Abramoff, Kyle Foggo, Duke Cunningham, Tom DeLay

  10. 35% increase in the national debt

  11. Medicare part D

  12. Alberto Gonzalez

  13. FDA Failing to notice tainted imports from China

  14. Abusing the military

  15. 95% increase in the trade deficit

  16. Bankruptcy bill

  17. Sago mining accident

  18. Stem cell veto

  19. Schip veto

  20. Harriet Meiers

  21. Asserted right to open private mail

  22. Inserting language into a bill that allows appointed U.S. Attorneys to bypass Senate Approval

  23. Abuse of National Security Letters

  24. Paul Wolfowitz and his termination from the world bank

  25. Using RNC mail servers to avoid federally mandated archiving

  26. Cheney shoots his buddy and then attempts weak coverup

  27. Justice Scalia refuses to recuse himself from Sierra Club lawsuit he was a party to.

  28. The NSA wiretaps Mohammed el Baradei and tries to sway him from reelection to the IAEA

  29. The Real ID Act of 2005

  30. NASPER Act of 2005 records all prescribed controlled substances

  31. The Secure Fence Act

  32. Using GSA money to support Republican candidates

  33. Cheney diverts water from the Klamath river for votes and creates huge environmental disaster

  34. David Vitter and Larry Craig

  37. The Air Force loses 6 nukes on a runway for 10 hours unattended

  38. Three American corporation fund terrorists in South America and get a slap on the hand

  39. Fake FEMA news conferences

  Just how do you show the chutzpah to lecture us after what you have done for this country? Will someone please reach for the foot deodorant?
