Zero credibility

(from Bob Cesca)

Rick Santelli, new president of Spazzy White Guys, Inc., on September 2, just days before the initial financial collapse, Rick Santelli said, "I think the economy is healthy."



He fits right in with John McCain, who, if you'll remember, was the GOP hero 3 and a half months ago.


How about this: if the GOP wants to suddenly declare themselves the party of fiscal responsibility and smaller government, then how about admitting that all of the Bush programs they supported were fiscally irresponsible. You know, those programs they supported such as Homeland Security, invading and endlessly occupying Iraq (at $8 bil/m). They supported Bush's $1.2 trillion tax cut for, much of it targeted to the wealthiest one percent.

Because without that admission, they're just playing political football.

Badly.

Because in case you missed it, Obama's numbers are UP among non-Republicans.
