Phil Gramm committed the cardinal sin of American politics — he inadvertently spoke the truth.
I agree 100%
Calling Americans a nation of whiners was incredibly stupid.
Those whiners will vote for Obama because, like BJC, he will claim to identify with them and feel their pain, while GOP looks detached and aloof.
This was a big mistake, and the Dems will run ads with Gramm saying this over and over.
