you people need to get a grip. I guess you'd like Clinton back. good grief!

What is the difference between having a DemonRat Prez who violates your Constitutional rights and a Republican Prez who does the same?

I've voted straight party Republican in every election since I was old enough to vote, and how exactly have I benefited from it? Let's see.

There are more laws on the books violating my Constitutional rights today than there were 20 years ago. Gee, that's great.

I'm no longer allowed to purchase a high capacity handgun at the gun store down the street. In fact, that gun store closed long ago. The only place nearby where I can purchase a new firearm now is at Walmart. Boy, that's really great. Force the gun dealers out of business, that's a great way to keep people from buying guns until you can regulate them out of existense.

How many new tax laws are there? How many more ways has the government decided it can take your money away from you?

We now have asset forfeiture laws, something that didn't exist 25 years ago. You can have all of your assets seized, without even being charged with a crime. Good luck getting them back, regardless of your guilt or lack thereof. In fact, you may never be charged with a crime, but you assets can still be seized from you, and you will never see them again. (asset forfeiture laws were passed under a Republican watch)

My taxes have steadily increased at a rate higher than my paychecks have. Even though I make quite a bit more than I did when the first Bush was in office, my quality of life has actually decreased.

Three weeks ago, I was told my job was being eliminated, due to the poor economy. Bang up job you're doing there, George.

Today, my free speech rights were trampled into a mudhole, and the muddy footprints on the backs of every single American match the soles of George's shoes.

Tell me what the difference is, please. I'm quickly losing faith in the Republican Party and with our prez. The lines have blurred so much that I can no longer distinguish between the DemonRats and the Repubs. It seems that no matter which party is in office, the result is the same on the country. Everyone drop your trousers, bend over and grab your ankles. The more you resist, the more it's gonna hurt.

The difference is that with a Democrat you have the "conservatives" howling about how terrible it is that our country and its freedoms are being destroyed, and with a Republican they think it's OK that our country and its freedoms are being destroyed.
