Why is it that we lose more ground whenever a R is in office?

[thoughtomator]

Because we let the "R" put us off our guard, in the naive belief that he might do what the people who voted for him want him to do, rather than what the people who gave him lots and lots of money want him to do.

[Thebaddog]

Call me sentimental, but I think that this lunacy with vast sums of money began when Nixon took us off the gold standard. That's an R for you.

[satchmodog9]

Because the R's are big lying bastards just like the D's.
