Hey McCain/Gramm, if Americans who are hurting aren't bitter...
...then why the hell, in your estimation, are they a bunch of whiners?

1. Being called bitter is FAR less of an insult than being called a whiner.
Being bitter about hard times is not necessarily a character flaw.

3. I didn't say it was. But, people who aren't bitter don't whine.
McCain says that Americans who have lost jobs, etc. aren't bitter...they're resourceful, resilient, etc.

Now, his campaign calls them a bunch of whiners. Just pointing out the inconsistencies.

2. Ha! Who isn't bitter except the 1%ers, like Gramm? Love
this talking point; I hope it's used.
