The EPA chief is a blooming idiot. Nobama has appointed many marxists. Why the hell did 53% of people vote for these morons? Did you all hate the United States?

“Why the hell did 53% of people vote for these morons? Did you all hate the United States?”

Disclaimer: I did NOT vote for 0!

I think the 2008 election will be studied for a long time.

0 and crew did a nice job of appearing fairly centrist. He spoke in platitudes, and sure didn’t lay out any of the crazier things he had planned up front. He had a fawning press at his feet, who provided a constant barrage of propaganda for $0.00.

Don’t forget (as apparently almost everyone has) that 0 didn’t take public campaign financing and spent around $1 billion on the Presidency. He outspent McCain something like 3 to 1.

Finally, there was something of a perfect storm. I guess for the “average person” the contrast between the constant MSM bashing of Bush versus the adoration of 0 had an effect. Brainwashed into hating Bush and by extension everything Republican, what was the alternative besides 0? Lack of good public education factored in, since many were simply not equipped intellectually to make a rational decision, or be curious about the “real 0”. As a final nail, there was the “fiscal crisis”, IMO manufactured by the Dems yet adroitly laid at the feet of Bush and the Republicans.

Now, here we are, gripped by Great Depression 2 and girding ourselves for catastrophe. God save America!

If someone had published the whole thing as a novel, the critics would have called the plot too far-fetched to be real.
