Whoa. Tell us what you really think.

Too bad it’s not enough. I love blaming the bad guy; I do a lot of it in these pieces but finger pointing is what they do inside the Beltway. The Democrats caused the problem but it is our homes and paychecks and healthcare that are paying for it.

Blaming a Democrat doesn’t fix my home or my paycheck or the cost of my healthcare.

No, I'm not having voter's remorse either--or any other withdrawal. I'm not assuming any blame or making statements that I stepped in anything. The Democrats did it, and they are solely responsible for this debacle. Conservatives (real ones) need to point the finger their way. Moderates need to get their language and thinking straight and stop sounding like wimpy rinos. That's the kind of stuff you hear on Oprah, and I'm sick of it. --George Halleluja!

The $4500 voucher is a joke if you can't afford a $40,000 itsy bitsy car. This, like most gov't plans, will cost the poor the most.
