Just wondering. Can anyone post a link or list of Republican legislation.....

[OAITW r.2.0]

that has had a significant positive impact on the lives of the bottom 80%?

I was trying to think of accomplishments that Republicans can claim since I've been paying attention to our national politics since the mid-70s.

6. LOL...thanks! I was looking for a well documented site that lists their accomplishments.

Note: To be fair, I give Richard Nixon credit for creating the EPA and George W. Bush for creating the "no call" list.

3. Talk about a hopeless quest.

Think I'll go look for the Holy Grail. Much better chance of success.

4. Civil Rights Act of 1957?

nevermind... didn't help the bottom 80%

5. Sure...

And that's all I can think of t the moment.

7. Why doesn't every American of voting age, understand this?

10. Because Saint Ronnie and the Republican party have been telling their chumps for years, the government can't do anything

For them. They have been brought up from babies to hate the United States government.

11. I think that...

If there are studies conducted, ever, they will find it's a case of fried screen brain.

12. fried screen brain

I'll have to read up on this!

8. ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Nope .

[unblock]

9. Ada, sort of, iirc

I vaguely recall it had mixed support, not along party lines.

Bob dole was big on it.

Might have been more democrats than republicans in the end, but closest thing I can think of for a helpful law with at least some Republican credit.

[2naSalit]

13. Well...

If you want to go back past bed time, Nixon actually did a few things worth mentioning, asshole crook that he was.

Self Determination Act - Indians will tell you this was a major improvement in their lives.
Ended the draft
Founded the EPA which oversaw the passage of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and the Mammal Marine Protection Act.
Lowered the voting age to 18, for whatever that's worth

There was more but those are the ones that I recall and he had to do them all and we still hated the bastard.

After him, crickets.

14. I give Nixon credit for the EPA and George W;Bush "Do Not Call: directive.

I should have been clearer, what has Republican Congress majorities ever accomplished?

[2naSalit]

15. Oh them?

Not a damn thing that I can recall. Anything Congress initiated came from the Democrats.

[OAITW r.2.0]

17. My point. Exactly.

[2naSalit]

18. I know...

I was playing along.

[OAITW r.2.0]

20. I knew you were.

[2naSalit]

21. How's things...

Around the place? How much snow?

We've got dry grass at my elevation, was +52F today but windy. It's always windy.

[OAITW r.2.0]

22. Had maybe 22" total snow over 3 storms. Then had 60+ weather and rain. Lost 70% of the snow. Its 'been fucking gloomy

pretty much this month. 3" of snow tonight, the ground still isn't frozen.

[2naSalit]

23. Yikes.

There's snow in the higher elevations but not a lot.

[JI7]

16. There was a lot if you go back before 1980

[OAITW r.2.0]

19. Can you name a couple?

Before 1980, I think you mean there were actually liberal Republicans that hooked up with Democrats to get important legislation passed.

24. I think Nixon signed OSHA and EPA into law
