Food for thought, about the crazies - What if John McCain would've won in 2008?
Would the teabaggers be so enraged about the debt and spending in DC?

If McCain won, we'd probably be in yet another war - not just a drone campaign, but a full out war.
Would he have raised taxes to pay for it?

Would there be crazy people on my tv 24/7 whining about the debt ceiling?
Would the teabaggers even be involved if McCain won?


Personally, I just think all this drama is a bunch of bullshit. Manufactured Drama.
I just wish the elected Dems would wake up and see it for what it is, stand up against it instead of bargain with it.

4. I don't think we'd be debating this now
actually, I don't know where the hell we'd be right now if he and Queen Sarah were in the WH right now. Actually, I'm not 100% convinced our country would still exist right now had they won the WH in 2008. The fact that they even got 47% of the vote is pretty damned scary when you think about it, though.

6. Sarah Palin would have been president for 14 months and would be four months
away from quitting.

VeePee Scott Walker would be preparing himself to ascend to the Presidency.

in charge of the House. The teabaggers are the irrational response to HCR and a black president. I doubt that they
would exist in sizable numbers in the House.

God knows what other outrages would have occurred, perhaps a war with Iran. But we would had had a least nominal
control of Congress.

We might not have had the 2008 revolution I think

McCain is a doddering old fool.
