“We have sort of become a nation of whiners,You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline” - Phil Gramm
This from the man who advises John McCain on the economy. Listening to Jeff Farias on this topic really got me "whining", because he rattled off the big long list of what we as Americans have been whining about. Home heating costs, healthcare, gas prices, outsourcing, childcare, job loss,and a weak dollar, just to name a few . If you are a millionaire and happen to be married to a beer heiress none of this matters. The problem is the whiners right Phil? I happen to agree with Jeff, apparently we have not been whining enough. We have been distracted with reality shows, or some other shiny object thats put in front of the American people's faces. We have some patriotic whiners in the country, some have whined their way to the streets, and demanded a change, to no avail.
However, this campaign just keeps presenting the American people with underhanded insults. McCain's campaign are out of touch to the point of arrogance, and self-serving elitism that has gotten our country in the condition it is in. John McCain thinks young workers ought not pay into Social Security, which retirees count on, called it a "disgrace", Phil Gramm thinks we're in a "mental recession" and now Carly Fiorina believes "Most Americans are not really focused on what we say". WTF? So, "We the People" have become whining, disgraceful, mental, and ignorant in 7 and 1/2 years.
John McCain says "Phil Gramm does not speak for me, I speak for me", well John, has Mr. Gramm been fired? He does speak for you. When you allow him to speak with the Washington Times about your campaign, he is speaking for you. When you allow Carly Fiorina to go on Meet the Press, she is also speaking for you. When Barack Obama spoke about Americans feeling "bitter", he was correct, and you couldn't turn a dial or channel surf without hearing about it, where's the so called "liberal media" on this? I would also, Bitter Whiners are smart people, they are smart enough to recognize what's happening to them if they;re not a rich lobbyist. Take care, I am off to buy a beer heiress a drink, so I can stop whining.
