About this audiobook
10. They're so incompetent they couldn't pour pee out of a boot if you wrote the instructions on the heel.
9. They lie like a rug. They lie like a dog. They lie like . . . ummm . . . a dog's rug. We mean, they just lie all the time.
8. They're a pack of crooks.
7. They are unbearably sanctimonious.
6. They have no sense of humor.
5. They're losing the war on terror.
4. They've put our economic future in Beijing's hands.
3. They steal elections.
2. Oh, yeah. They're destroying the planet, too.
1. They suck up to power.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Kinda preaching to the converted, and also kinda sad that they need to point out that the Dems need a cohesive message but well worth a read if you are at all progressively inclined.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5not much new here, and they're definitely preaching to the choir. Of course, I'm one of the choir.
