Not all Republicans. Apparently Chuck Hagel even has a problem with McCain's ham of a pick for VP.

With 47 days to go before the election, we're going to start to see more Republicans bail to save their own hide, since everyone who just met Palin once and licked her ass right away will go down with the ship, not least of which Joe Lieberman, a national joke in his own right who needs to be put out to pasture.

Ben Stein, Pat Buchanan, Chuck Hagel, Peggy Noonan, Lincoln Chaffey, the Eisenhowers, that Elizabeth Drew lady who wrote the Citizen McCain book, David Brooks, Richard Cohen, and a host of other Republicans will continue to declare themselves suspicious of McPain so they can survive and possibly lead their party through it's rebuilding phase.

They're so desperate that Phil Gramm even called Ron Paul (again) yesterday and asked him to support McCain, which Ron Paul is reported to have said no, and then offer a laundry list why, topping it off with McCain's idiotic singing of "Bomb Bomb Iran".

That McCain is still going after Ron Paul of all people is fucking hilarious.

It'll take until after the debates to confirm things, but it looks like this neo-con ship has serious holes in it.

It won't take much to get the economy going again.

Most of the problem is consumer confidence is waning after the constant negativity of Barack Obama and his media stooges.

When you are constantly hearing bad news it depresses the market, the housing industry, and the banking industry.

If the media would stop blowing things out of proportion and cheerleading a possible collapse it would reverse the panic selling we're getting in the market this week.

Obama is so full of shit where the economy is concerned. He claims we're in the worst financial shape since the Great Depression. Bullshit.

This is the same thing John Kerry said. Remember?

I don't see any soup-lines. 93% of us are gainfully employed, we aren't eating onion sandwiches like some of us were during the Depression. I can't remember having to run down and kill my food lately. I can still go to Micky D's any time I want. If this was a Depression you can kiss eating out goodby.

But the easy life most of us are living would suddenly come to an end and we would have a Depression if Obama gets in and starts raising taxes and cutting our military like he says he will. Regardless of the ability our economy has of recovering raising taxes will ruin it.

You are a very funny man.

When the Republicans decided to make YOU (and me and 300 million others) the new owner of a half dozen of the nation's largest financial institutions and the world's largest insurer, I became convinced of two things--first, that the situation was totally desperate, and second, that the GOP has just been masquerading as an entity which supports capitalism.

"Fundamentally sound?" Are you as senile as the Senator from Arizona? If the economy were fundamentally sound, they wouldn't be laying out nearly a trillion dollars just to keep the lid on through the first week in November.
