1. Gee, this could be a generic GOP ad. "What's the GOP done for you?"

[volstork]

2. Oh, LOTS of things:

Depleted the national treasury
Made the US an international pariah
Advocated torture
Spied on American citizens
Abandoned habeas corpus
Invaded a sovreign nation without provocation
Killed over 3000 American soldiers and countless Iraqi citizens
Presided over environmental ruin to put money in the pockets of the oil companies
Taken medicines and medical care away from the least to put money in BigPharma's pocket
Turned the FDA into a propaganda arm
Turned the mainstream media into a propaganda arm
etc
etc
etc

[Ferret Annica]

3. Nothing for me...

...but plenty of things that are very bad have been done to others and me by them.

[Nite Owl]

4. Conservatism

has never done anything for anyone.
