Not just ANY Dem Pres and Cong, but a decidedly far left-wing one. Remember it was Maxine Waters that just a few months ago stated her wish to nationalize oil companies, and by implication, any other company who's policies or business model she doesn't like. She is not alone in her party on this.
What is even scarier than this market is the prospect of losing personal freedom and choice to a new nanny state, one that even a few election cycles won't be able to undo because history shows you can't take away gov't "benefits" once they are doled out.
So for all you people here thinking of voting for someone other than McCain "on principle," it's time to punt, not walk off the field in disgust.
... and don’t forget the show trials of Bush and Cheney the wacko Left has promised.
