Things that are worse under Republicans?

The economy usually does worse under Republicans.

The unemployment rate is usually higher under Republicans.

The stock market is usually lower under Republicans.

There is a better chance at going to war under Republicans.

There is a better chance they will screw it up once they go to war.

There is a better chance at running a huge deficit if Republicans are in charge.

It is usually more difficult to find a job under Republicans.

Republicans have a knack at getting America in a hole from which Democrats have to dig us out.

I'm sure there are many other things that Republicans are real good at but those are just a few off the top of my head.

They are real good at dodging the draft and military service, also.

Voters elect them when they fall for the hysteria and the pie in
the sky promises. Then they elect Dems to fix what they broke.
