The man that flew his plane into the IRS building in TX really wasted a great opportunity. He should've flown it into the Capital or the White House.

NBC's Today show anchor Matt Lauer just asked Erin Burnett if Standard and Poor was "venturing into the political arena". The inference is they are trying to influence politics---favoring the Republicans. Give me a break. The willful ignorance on the part of liberals is really nauseating. Erin's response was "maybe a little" but went on to say that we needed a "third party" who could come in and help Dems and the GOP negotiate the deficit crisis. S & P's downgrade is based mainly upon the feeling that the politicians in DC will not come to an agreement before the 2012 elections. Hey Erin, remember the president's Deficit Commission? There's your third party. Oh but wait, they came to the conclusion that SPENDING IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM in the deficit issue. Liberals do not want to face reality.

If the S&P downgrade didn't wake them up, nothing will. They are stuck on stupid.
I was talking to a lib last night and he says it's all about greed...not from the politicians mind you...but, all those big bad companies. He even thinks there should be more regulations on these companies....we're doomed with that kind of thinking.
That the government has run out of money doesn't seem to register either.
