23. Good God! He DOES take Bush and the GOP to task - all the time
"If you want (fiscal sanity) you'd better elect a Democrat because the Republicans can't handle money."

"Borrow and spend Republicans."

He talks about the debt going on our grandchildren's credit cards, and on and on.

I'll bet he doesn't give a single stump speech without driving these and other points home -- HARD.

(I wish people who wish to criticize a candidate would bother to know what the hell they're talking about before they do.)
