Hey Wulf, you're LUCKY I included third-party! But that DOESN'T include Ron Paul who is- if you recall- a Republican.

In any case, there are some Dems that I think are waaaay better than Ron Paul, who (IMHO) is an economic idiot. Good folks can be found in all parties. (Even the Republican Party )

---------------------------------
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

Yeah... he's a total idiot on the economy. Can you believe that two years ago he was saying that our economy was a house of cards due for collapse? What the hell was he thinking?

Can you believe that two years ago there were people who DIDN'T think our economy was a house of cards on the brink of collapse?

Hell, Signy called it longer ago than that. And I walked away from an easy home purchase four years ago because I knew somehow that it wasn't in my best interests, and was likely unsustainable.

That doesn't make either of us prescient about the economy; it just means we were paying attention and not liking what we saw...

Just lying smiling in the dark,
Shooting stars around your heart,
Dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time.
Now you're crying in your sleep;
I wish you'd never learnt to weep.
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time.
"Pure"

Yes. But, at the risk of tossing the two of you a backhanded compliment, it does make you "not idiots".



(Which was the point I was making about RP)
