Not really morons, just the uneducated masses. LOL. Most Americans have no clue how the stock market, D.C., or even taxes on businesses affect their every day life. Sad.

We will all have buyers remorse this time next year when Osama and his crew will not be able to fix this economy. That's why Biden even admitted they will be "so low in the polls."

All this private and national debt needs to unwind itself. Be it Bush or Osama, makes no difference. And I shall laugh at them.
Don't forget, McCain was part of the "Keyton 5" (Lincoln savings scandal) and although he did escape by the skin of his teeth criminal indictment, he did pay $100k to a lobby firm to conduct a PR campaign to stop the IG initial investigation.

With regards to FM, until the financial sit began unfolding, they contributed $10k per month to McCain's both senate (re-election) and presidential funds. Even after he got the repub nomination, he was boo'd in Iowa by his own republican consituants.

I'm not saying by any means BO was the best choice, but McCain brought on a lot of questional baggage- there were a lot better repub's out there other than McCain who would have not driven their own party members out (such as Warren Buffett, George Will & Andy Edgemeger (former repub presential campaign director) ) & publicly pull their support for McCain- you have to work real hard to make that happen!!
