OK, I lied...
If Mr. Bush changed that sentence around to "nobody has ever done more to diminish human rights", I'd nod my head in earnest agreement.
Ask the people of Africa whom he shortchanged after making all those promises on AIDS assistance (the new GOP spin seems to be that HIV infection is grossly exaggerated in Africa). Ask women who've watched their reproductive rights eroded under his watch. Ask homosexuals who've been given the finger by this president. Ask seniors who are about to see real Medicare funding disappear while the big pharmaceutical firms cheer.
Or just ask many of the American people who've watched their jobs disappear while their own taxes were raised, who've watched national security become a joke, who are expected to buy rhetoric even when they can't afford medical care and groceries, who are supposed to believe that "no accountability" voting machines are honest, who watch their schools eviscerated and their children prodded to go off to wars with shifting justification....
Ths list sadly goes ever onward.
