Save me some room in the storm shelter (we hit water when we dig down here).
I'll bring my share of the plastic sheeting and duct tape!

Rummy,

We didn't have to wait for Bush to get into the White House to write him 
off.

They both ran as "outsiders" and "agents of change" who were going to 
change Washington "business as usual".

But what do we see?  Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rahm Emanuel, Robert Gates, 
Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden--same people, different day.

The Democrats are awarding the "spoils" to the people who elected them:  
Lawyers; Wall Street; Organized Labor; Big Farmers.

Meanwhile, the country is spiraling downward, the Democrats will have to 
go to continuous feed web presses or larger denominations to print the 
money fast enough, the "global warming" opposition will be chucked under 
the bus as the "public works projects" start to gear up.  The rest of 
the world has its own problems -- they're not going to bail us out this 
time.

And what about Afghanistan?  You think Vietnam was tough terrain?  Not 
to mention the fact that Afghanistan is twice the size of all of 
Vietnam.  How many soldiers did we have in South Vietnam when you were 
there?  How many do you think it will take to lose in Afghanistan?

There is zero evidence that this guy is a smart man.  This country has 
again made the dumbest person in the room "the decider".  I really 
didn't think people would make that same mistake again, but, here we are!

Professional politicians continue to run this country.  They are running 
it into the ground.  We should let the banks go bankrupt; only 
profitable automobile companies will survive; if people overpaid for 
their homes they should give them up; if people don't have jobs they 
should stop going to the mall; if we think we've got to fight wars all 
over the place, lets draft the soldiers; building dams and roads will 
not make the earth greener; public works projects don't end depressions.

We haven't heard one good idea from this guy.  When push comes to shove, 
he always reneges.   And you think we should wait for 4 years before we 
call him on it?

Not me.  We're heading for tough times, and everybody is to blame.  But 
blaming won't help.  Burning food, bailing out ridiculous union 
contracts, letting people live in homes they can't afford, printing more 
money, paying off debts with worthless paper -- will only make things 
worse.  I'll speak up now.
