Every time you drive through Detroit, Youngstown, Flint, or any other Rust Belt city and see the decay, thank a union. Every time a government employee retires after 20 years drawing a full pension on the taxpayer teet, and then gets rehired working for another government job double dipping into the taxpayer coffers, thank a union.

Unions were great 100 years ago. Even 60 years ago. But they ruined American industry and manufacturing in the 1960s-80s. That's the reason why there are fewer unions and union membership than ever before. They have to force people to join them against their will with mandatory Union memberships. Their days are numbered if they don't ruin America's economy first.

We are talking about Hillary. Bush is old news.

First I've heard of it. Let's see proof. My suspicion is it's a far fetched claim because no way in the lake of fire would the MSM pass up on an opportunity to prosecute the Bush Administration in the court of public opinion or perhaps create another Watergate.

I would bet you're overpaid and you underdeliver. What is your profession?

No, Democrats have just mastered the art of corruption. It's the love of money and the lust for power that drives the modern day Dem Party. It has no conscience or soul.

Same could be said of the Republican Party.

While far from perfect, I believe that the Democratic Party has a long and cherished history of trying to do the most good for the greatest number of people. Democrats have fought hard to either establish or preserve the following:

• Social Security
• Medicare, Medicaid, Healthcare Reform, Food Safety
• New Deal, Great Society, Peace Corp, Vista, Job Corp
• Civil Rights, Women’s Right to Vote, Equal Rights, The Voting Rights Act, Equal Pay Act, Motor Voter
• Consumer Protection, FDIC, Banking and Wall Street Regulations, SEC, Federal Reserve System, Anti-trust Legislation
• Funding for Science, Medical and Engineering Research, Space Exploration, NSF, NIH
• Support for Public Education, Head Start, School Lunch and Breakfast Programs
• NLRB, 8 hr. Work Day/40 hr. Work Week, Overtime, Unemployment
• Protection for the Environment, Increased Numbers and Support of National Parks and Wilderness Areas, Endangered Species Act, FEMA
• Veterans’ Benefits, GI Bill
• UN, NATO, Marshall Plan
• Vehicles Safety Requirements, Reduced Emissions, and Fuel Economy Standards (CAFE)
• TVA, Federal Loan Program, PBS, NPR, the Internet
• Economic Growth (Democratic Presidents: Roosevelt through Obama)

Can you list any significant Republican accomplishments we can celebrate?

So judgmental. I'd say that you're under paid and bitter. lol

I can't elaborate on exactly what I do, due to the nature of the work. However, I'm what they call a, trusted agent. To get a handle on the kind of work I do, consider the character named, "Penelope Garcia", on a popular television show called, "Criminal Minds". Only, I'm a dude. And her job is far, far more exciting than mine, seeing that she works for the FBI. lol

Here are my kids (Noah & Addison) on Take Your Child To Work Day. They loved it.

Democrats measure success by growing the size of government and increase its control over our every day lives, Republicans are successful because they reduce the size of government and give individual Americans increased ability to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It worked for the first 175 years of our existnece making us the most prosperous and innovative nation in human history.

We've been in decline since the end of WWII and the overreach of the federal government. FDR didn't save us from the Great Depression, he prolonged it. WWII saved us from the malaise. Obama hasn't saved us from the Great Rescession, he's only made its effects last longer. We are at almost zero growth and have been for years. China grows at a robust 6-7% annually while we languish. Why? Because Dems dont know how to grow an economy. Reagan oversaw the greatest expansion in history creating 25 million jobs. Clinton's butt got saved because Gingrich and the Republican Revolution happened two years into his presidency and the Information Age exploded. The government didn't create the computer or the Internet or Microsoft or online businesses. In fact we had to fight the Dems all through the 90s and 00s to keep them from taxing online Buisness and stifling growth.

The crash of 2008 was the result of the Clinton admin idea of giving people unworthy of credit easy access to home loans that caused the housing bubble. Bush and the GOP failed to address it admittedly, but then again the Bushies are moderates, and grew the size of govt and national debt.
