This probably won't end well.

The U.S. is reaching it's borrownig limits but of course it's still spending like a drunken sailor in a brothel. Now it's borrowing against it's own employees pension funds (to you and me that means spending the money saved in them).

What's that flushing noise I hear?

The USA going down the toilet at the hands of a Republican President and a Republican majority in the House and the Senate.

The Republican Party.
You know, the party of fiscal responsibility, small government, and personal freedom. (NOT)
The ones who have increased the budget surplus they inherited. (NOT)
The ones that have expanded civil liberties. (NOT)
The ones that improved the public schools. (NOT)
The ones that correctly interpreted and acted upon intelligence received prior to 9/11/2001. (NOT)
The ones that correctly interpreted and acted upon intelligence received after 9/11/2001. (NOT)

How exactly have the Republicans successfully governed the USA in the past six years?

Maybe Rushmc, Trent, and Anvil could clue us in.
Specific examples would be appreciated.

I'll start. There have been no terrorist attacks on US soil since 2001. Surely this is due to the extreme compentency of the Republicans.

that's because the govt engineered these attacks in order to start a war and make a lot of changes that are only possible in wartime. that being acheived, there is no longer any point of future "terrorist" attacks.

I agree they are spending too much. While there are mitigating factors, they do not explain it all.

On the flip side however, 2005 saw a 15% increase of revenues coming into the coffers. Reason? TAX CUTS!!!!

You sure it wasn't a matter of gas tax revenues?

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

One year out of five during this administration the revenues exceeded those of the late Clinton years, and he's claiming victory for tax cuts. Ha ha, pull the other one.

And then there's government spending that's spinning out of control. Republican White House, Republican Senate, Republican House!

not kidding at all. i have been thinking that pretty much since the week after it happened, it took that long for the shock to wear off. i have recently seen a movie which spells it out with documents, newscasts live from that day, interviews, scientific facts, and no opinions. it is called loose change, 2d edition. kinda like a documentary, like i said it has no opinions, and makes no acusations, just presents facts.
while i understand that anyone can put together so-called facts to refute just about any claim, i saw the movie and it hit very close to home. some of the so-called facts i have seen with my own eyes and some of the things presented in this movie i had suspected on my own.
the thing that i hate about trying to talk about this is that people just blindly accept the the "truth" that the govt tells them they don't think that our govt is capable of these things, but they have a very short memory and no access to any highly classified information. if people knew what kind of plans were proposed and even put into action, they would be scared shitless. hollywood has nothing on real life in this case. the only classified info i had access to was during oef in '01-02, was labled secret, and probably has no value anymore, however i still refuse to disclose any of it, due to my honor and integrity. besides, it's illegal until it's declassified, and since i am no longer in the military i have no way of knowing.
edited to add:
i was thinking about my post and realized it sounded a little misleading. i need to go on the record to say that none of the aforementioned documents that i personally saw wich were secret in no way had anything to do with the sept. 11th tragedy. the documents i was privy to were oporders, plans, and contingincies referring to the oef campaign. i merely mentioned them here because the details of an sf operation can get pretty scary, if you're on the receiving end.
