The democrats engineered this current financial crisis in such a way that there was little else to be done to stave off financial disaster. I happen to think sinkEmperor clinton egged this along before he left office, hoping that his Rodham rodent would be the democrat nominee and the economy wouyld sweep her (and thus him) into office.
Right now, the best chance the Republic has is to elect McCain/Palin and then storm the gates with torches and pitchforks if they don't start immediately to release our natural resources and technologies to get us fiscally solvent. You knw a democrat white house, senate, and house will only take us further toward the bankruptcy democrats want to usher in their secular socialist utopia. Weilding votes, there are very limited avenues for we the people to tread right now.
