Red states top blue states consistently in divorce rates, STD transmission rates, and teen birth rates

If Republicans in red states succeed in using the abortion bait-and-switch to cut off all reproductive health care, expect dramatic growth in the already-alarming divide between red states and blue states in measures such as health outcomes, family stability, and education. Red states top blue states consistently in divorce rates, STD transmission rates, and teen birth rates. Red states are overrepresented in high school drop out rates. A sudden disappearance of affordable reproductive health care will dramatically worsen this situation.

Chimpy: an incompetent, dim witted torturer. The perfect republican.

From day one of the War on Terror (TM), it was clear that the Bush people reveled in the notion that they were tough guys, willing to Do What Needs to be Done. They were all wannabe Kiefer Sutherlands. Far from showing qualms about suspending the rule of law and using torture to extract information, they obviously enjoyed the idea that they were willing to go all the way, unlike those wimpy liberals.

Of course, they never admitted that, probably not even to themselves. But did you ever see the slightest hint of reluctance or discomfort? Or did you see tremendous self-satisfaction as the acts became ever more abusive?

And so they are, inevitably, deeply upset that someone who isn’t a tough guy by their standards seems to be doing a better job of getting the terrorists than they did.

Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz estimates that the price tag on the Iraq War alone will surpass $3 trillion.


Chimpy. Coward, Deserter, failure. His war crimes are forever. The fucking lush can't even eat a pretzel without fucking it up.

It’s The Opposite Of Bush’s Policies That Make Us More Successful Now Fighting Terror

The lack of clarity in strategic conception led directly to the imbroglio in Afghanistan and Pakistan today. There is no longer any question that the diversion of U.S. troops and, in particular, intelligence assets and special forces to Iraq in 2002 and 2003 produced a Taliban and Qaida resurgence in South Asia.

Had we had proper focus, during the Bush administration, think how many lives could have been saved.

Fighting Right Wing wars is destroying America.

America’s greatest national security threats aren’t terrorism or foreign armies—they are a crumbling infrastructure at home, the depletion of natural resources, climate change, and an overdependence on what they call “defense and protectionism.” Counterintuitively, this paper from special assistants to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, argues that America’s best hopes for world leadership lies in classical left-wing tropes of conservation, soft power, and aggressive humanitarian work abroad.

Torture May Have Slowed Hunt For Bin Laden, Not Hastened It

Yet republican apologizers for ChimpCo continue to defend and the immoral war crime of torture. Why do republicans hate America? Why do republicans aid and abet the enemies of America?

Republicans Say Obama Has Dumb Luck

Democrats say Chimpy's unmitigated series of strategic failures crippled the world, killed countless numbers of human beings, humiliated the US, endangered world stability....
