Sure. Just nuke us all. We deseve it. Thanks for the juvenile temper tantrum. Grow up and vote as conservative a you can, and stop whining. Also spend a little more of your time leaning how to speak persuasively to your friends and family. If the best you can do is look for a Democrat-supervised national catstrophe to make us look better, you have a lot of growing up to do politically.
Please do it soon. We need you. It will be hard work.
I am not optimistic about the economy. I believe we may well be headed into a serious recession. While Hoover didn't cause the depression, the fact that he was a Republican bought us 16 years of Democrat Presidents. That was the basis of my comment re Carter/Reagan. To achieve the best long term result, we may benefit by losing a battle or two. Don't think the possibility doesn't scare the crap out of me though.
