When will the Arizona Republic stop printing letters like the one from Virginia Bruce who fears the devil and the Democrats? What exactly is the point? Do they not read the newspaper they print?
Members of the Bush administration are getting indicted or investigated all over the place and their ineptitude is becoming legendary. Republicans have screwed up the war, screwed up the economy, screwed up immigration policy, screwed up education, screwed up international relations, screwed up oil policies, screwed up the environment, screwed up the justice system, screwed up the defense department, screwed up trade policy and single-handedly destroyed the Middle Class, and she fears the Democrats!?! How can Democrats possibly do worse? Republicans make incompetents look good.
Who in their right mind could watch so many things get botched up so completely and then say "Trust the Republicans?!" Viginia, my dear woman, stay away from the Kool-Aid. Your party has made a complete mess of things. They do not deserve another chance. They've broken the bank. They have weakened this country. Admit it. It's time for a change and that change starts with the Democrats.

Republicans with short memories
How short the memories are of Republicans when it comes to who controls the spending process or how it works. We have Republicans like Tom Patterson who makes his living complaining about taxes and state spending while conveniently forgetting it's his buddies in the Republican-controlled legislature who write and pass budgets –before-- sending them to the Governor. Being a former legislator and hotshot at the Goldwater Institute and all, you'd think he knew how it works, but apparently not.
We have Republican legislators who complain about pork spending in a supplementary Defense spending bill, yet forget that it's a Republican president and 12 years of Republican-led Congress that raised the national debt to historic levels through pork spending. They forgot the last Democratic President and Congress left office with a surplus. They forgot the Republican-authored 2005 transportation bill that included $28 billion in pork spending with $223 million for the infamous Alaskan bridge to nowhere.
Unfortunately, sometimes spending needs to be added to bills for them to pass. That's the way it works. That Republicans who promoted its use while they were in control are now criticizing it demonstrates there are two more things to like about Republicans: their face.
