A friend sent me this and I just have to post it myself. So tired of the hypocrites rising up and shouting about saving the country. Where were they when the leaders who started all of this mess were running things?
Dear Tea Party, what took you so long?
Thursday 4 November 2010You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount
and appointed a President.You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed energy company officials to
dictate energy policy and push us to invade Iraq.You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed
no threat to us.You didn’t get mad when we spent over 800 billion (and counting)
on said illegal war.You didn’t get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign
sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined.You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just
disappeared in Iraq.You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn’t get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing
policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping
Americans.You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.
You didn’t get mad when Bush rang up 10 trillion dollars in
combined budget and current account deficits.You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter
Reed Hospital.You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city – New Orleans –
drown.You didn’t get mad when we gave people who had more money than
they could spend, the filthy rich, over a trillion dollars in tax breaks.You didn’t get mad with the worst 8 years of job creations in
several decades.You didn’t get mad when over 200,000 US citizens lost their lives
because they had no health insurance.You didn’t get mad when lack of oversight and regulations from the
Bush Administration caused US Citizens to lose 12 trillion dollars in
investments, retirement, and home values.No…..You finally got mad
When a black man was elected President and decided that people in
America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the
millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst
economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you, but helping fellow
Americans who are sick…Oh, Hell No!!
