Lieberman's gifted too, and fully tested beyond a shadow of doubt to be an opportunistic idiot, and McCain's gifted too, and fully tested to show he would gladly sacrifice all his principles to get to the White House, Obama is to some small degree untested, thank fucking God.

The next bubble: Fear.

Fear has become an industry in America.

From virulent Leftist bloggers at SLOG, to Al Gore and his AGW fantasy tale.

There are big bucks in doomsday scenarios and making the American public fearful.

But eventually, the fearmongers will hit saturation point. Al Gore will be defrocked as will his followers.

Things are pretty good right now for those who put their nose to the grindstone.

The elite Libs who depend on fear to tax and rob the populace don't want you to know that...

Or is he just another liberal?

Silly conservatives. Pathetic little victims, waving their flag of self-righteousness with theories that would get a freshman booted out of basic logic. That's what happens when your raise a nation of morons.

Yeah, like remember when the "leftist bloggers" told us we had to invade Iraq or American cities would be vaporized mushroom clouds?

Or when "leftist bloggers" told the country that the financial system was gonna collapse unless we gave Wall Street a $700 BILLION DOLLAR jackpot?

Yes, "leftist bloggers" are to blame for all of it.
