"'What John McCain, George Bush, Phil Gramm, don't understand is that the American people aren't whining, they are suffering - the weight of 8 years of Bush-economics that John McCain has vowed to continue,' said Karen Finney."

"The economy is the number one issue for voters, and most have a dark assessment of the present situation. 78% of respondents said things are worse now than they were 5 years ago - the highest since 1986."

Tim Russert asked John McCain about his comments that he didn't know as much about economics. McCain's answer suggested he had never made such a comment, but he did as recently as December saying:
'The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should, but I've got Greenspan's book.'"

Someone should let McCain, Gramm and the Bush defenders know that whining can be distinguished from constructive criticism when complaints are accompanied by ideas about how to improve circumstances.
Some people will never grasp that constructively criticizing the government is not unpatriotic; rather, it's motivated by a love of the nation and its people.

Just watched those senile old cretins on the news. Unbelievable, except that nothing that these Repukes say can ever surprise anyone ever again.
Calling us a "nation of whiners, going through a 'mental recession'."
Absolutely! War in Iraq, no jobs, a crashed economy, 10 trillion in debt, and there's Gramm and McLame Insane telling us it's all in our minds! Hey! You aren't really unemployed, you're just dreaming! Wake up! You've never had it so good!
God damn! That's great news. For a minute there I thought America was going down the wrong path.

If only Republican lies, Republican corruption, Republican bullsh!t and McLame's drool were oil - our energy problems WOULD be solved!
Now, let's get down to some REAL issues - things that affect ALL Americans and are of vital importance - like Obama's mortgage!

Now Spinny ... OF COURSE there are dishonest, uncorruptable, and not very straightforward Democrats.
The problem is ... we Christian Conservatives allied with the Republicans and Neo-Cons because they told us they were 'Endorsed' by God.
When it turns out that the Neo-Cons were even MORE dishonest, MORE corrupted, proven LIARS ... well ... it just makes us Christian Conservatives realize we were duped.
Maybe we should consider who we should be aligned with in the future.
Should Christians stand behind those who promote:
- War
- Discrimination of Soldiers
- Deficit Spending
- Pollution and protecting polluters
- Denyin kids health care
Heck ... you can't change a dogs spots.

I'm confused. Since Jesus is W's favorite philosopher, I thought jesus was a white conservative rich war mongering oil stock owning suv driving status quo powerhungry male elitist who hated the poor, hated gays, blacks, women and their sissy rights like voting, and favored tax cuts for the rich during a time of war, where only the select poor are dying, opposed the draft for the rich folks kids.
I thought jesus was all about hating the poor and enriching the rich. That is what is happening in 'merica, and doesn't god bless the USA? Isn't jesus on our side? Don't our dead soldiers, fighting to protect big oil in Iraq, go to heaven, cause Jesus was all about big oil?
Didn't jesus preach that burning all possible fossile fuel was gods 11th commandment, and that america should burn 25% of all fuel, and go to war to protect our foreign sources for it?
That's what we are doing, and I thought Jesus was on our side.

Frankly, Beau, I don't believe they give a dam(n)! They want what they want, and nothing else matters with these people! They worship the almighty dollar and power, power, power is their aphrodisiac.
Average citizens are the fire hydrants and they are the dogs. Demonic power at it's finest.

For those unaware, this would be the same Phil Gramm who created the enron fiasco.. Who while a politician spearheaded the deregulation that made the Enron scandal possible, and who's wife worked for Enron at the time..
He is a real class act.

Phil Gramm also played a huge part in the mortgage crisis and credit crunch we are now in. many of the problems we are now having are the direct result of Phil Gramm's work in the Senate.
and now Phil Gramm is currently McCain's top economic advisor.
be afraid, be very afraid (of Phil Gramm).

Bush and his administration bust the taxpayers money on perceived enemy who does not exist and war an terror which is his own invention is making America poorer by the day.
