    If only the "lefties" are complaining, then it means the majority of the country has turned LEFT.

    Living it and loving it!

    What more do we expect form a Republican led administration? We will soon see the evangelicals, the Reagan Democrats and those hard core Red Staters singing a different tune. I can hardly wait till those former Republican die hards take to the streets as they lose their homes, watch their wives and children suffer without medical care or adequate food/housing and face retirement living in substandard housing. Yes, they will take to the streets and attempt to gain national attention by overflowing their free speech zone. Unfortunately, they will all be microwaved by the government's Active Area Defense weapon.

    During the economic crunch in the 1970s, there were stories about people who packed it all up and went for a drive across country, abandoning their children to their fates along the way. Is that happening again?

    Yeah, I'm broke, too, but meanwhile, over at CSPAN AIPAC is shilling for McBush...

    Figures.

    Hasn't craigslist had a big surge in resale items? And have you seen the commercials for selling your unused jewelery for it's gold content, or is that only here in Austin?

    Jesus Christ, next thing you know we'll all be boiling our shoes! Did anyone see the new moveon ad with bush and McCain? I may be showing my age, but the theme song from the Patty Duke show was hilarious!

    I know someone who has been in the pawn store business for nearly 40 years. He said he's never had so much business ever and his clients tell him the money is for gas, food and paying off credit cards...all the while we get FOX's Cavuto winking at the rich while telling the middle & lower working class that things are actually quite good and it's only the "liberal media" trying to scare them.

    Just finished watching the evening news on CBS. Lines as far as the eye could see of people in what's left of middle America standing in line for food?!?!?! WTF!
    This is what the moron in chief the "Compassionate Conservative" has given as his gift to the American people after nearly six years of a perpetual war for perpetual peace. But not to worry because according to the Federal Reserve, inflation is tame and all is well in the land of make believe. The biggest mistake you made Pelosi, was in taking impeachment off the table, and now we're all going to pay!
