Can anybody tell me the great contributions the Republicans have made to America the last 6 years?

They've made a mockery of politics. They've screwed the average middle-class Americans in every way conceivable from soaring debt, endless war, and the gutting of social programs. But they've managed to stay wealthy in a time of the downward spiral of the standard of living. They've catered to the wealthy and to companies by making them richer even in the face of debt, loss of income to the average worker, and even went so far as to give tax breaks to companies for shipping jobs overseas.  So, yeah, they've contributed a whole lot.

Big money backs republicans. It's sad but true. GW is all for the oil tycoons getting rich while we slave away and pay for crazy gas prices.

Both have done nothing but spend for the last 6 years. Pork-barrel spending is up from $17.7Billion in 2000 to $29Billion in 2006, including $500,000 for a teapot museum, $450,000 to plant flowers in front of the Capitol, and $500,000 to study how berries grow in Alaska. Politicians are being charged with crimes almost weekly. Congress has spent more money building schools in Iraq than in America.\nEvery spending bill Congress and the Senate pass, the president signs.\n\nGreed and corruption have taken over our government, Republicans were once considered the party of fiscal responsibility. Those days are gone.

You betcha sweet aspercreme.  Polls show Democrats leading Congressional races already for the 2006 elections and Bush isn't done messin' up yet!  Everything Our President does (and doesn't do  i.e. Katrina) impacts how the public sees the good ol' GOP.  Even Republicans themselves are now splitting between religious conservatives and moderate religious conservatives. Look at the decision this week in Maryland by a Republican judge that "W." appointed himself on "the teaching 'Intelligent Design' as science" being a bunch of crap and crossing the church and state line.  And in a Congressional vote just last week the Minority Leader was able to achieve a rarely seen task- every member of the Democratic Party voted the same.  Yup, think Hilary's on her way in 2008

I am a Republican voter.  A good thing they have done is cut taxes.  Unfortunately, cutting spending is supposed to go along with cutting taxes, at least in my ideal world.  I wish they would have secured the border.  Also, I wish that they would have given control of education back to the states instead of increasing the federal government's control of education.

Are you talking about the surplus from a Republican Congress?

What have the Republicans done to deserve any credit?\n\nMade our Surplus into a deficit?\n\nStarted a War on lies for his own personal gain?\n\nGave tax cuts to the rich?\n\nMurdered innocent Americans?\n\nMade Americans even more hated across the globe?\n\ntell me what he has done that was any good?

Well as a conservative Republican I would like to congratulate you on your win.America has spoken and I was in the minority.I do not believe that it is the end of the world though it will be very interesting the next two years.

YES! I am in Pennsylvania, and we got rid of Rick Santorum, a man who thinks being a public servant = lecturing his constituents like they are 5 year old children, all the while voting for anything the President says. In my district, we also got rid of Don Sherwood, another Republican who ran on "family values" but who, in reality, carried on a 5 year affair with a woman that only ended after she called 911 to report him choking her.--A cheater AND a woman beater. He also voted against money for our troops & against making insurance coverage for breast cancer mandatory. I've met him on occasion, and found him to be arrogant beyond belief. I was thrilled to see him lose to Chris Carney, a family man, Navy veteran, and someone who served in the Pentagon as a consultant in anti terrorism issues.

Republicans have always been about foreign policy and Democrats have always been about domestic policy. We have spend over $280 Billion so far in Iraq. What does that translate to for the US? Over 10 Million new teachers or a million new fire engines or healthcare for 50 million Americans.\n\n"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" - Preamble to the Constitution\n\nThere is a section in there about "promote the general Welfare". Maybe turboweegie is too busy spouting hatred and intolerance to read the first paragraph of the Constitution.\n\nEvery American taxpayer has spent over $2130 on this war so far, not including the massive interest we will pay on the debt from this war. Thats rougly equivalent to a years worth of gasoline for me and slightly less than I pay for a years worth of health insurance.

I don't thnk they will.  How has the Republician leadership improved the VA and benefits for vets in the last six years?  Being I work in the field I would rest easy.  the GOP did a lot more damage to Vet packages than dems.

I hope you are right.   There's a lot of news coverage on the new people in politics who are willing to go after what's really important.  But how long will it take for the damage the Republicans have caused to be over.

You need to get out of the support for the Democrats and Republicans. You need to look to parties that are not financially supported by multinational corporations. America has enough people, and enough consumers that it doesn't need to go overseas to manufacture goods cheaper and make bigger profits than ever.
