" The market has tanked cos of an an expected Osama victory"...
A customer of mine. He continues, 'I don't know what political persuasion you are but it's hard to believe the Real Estate bubble caused all this. It's got to be Osama. I'm sorry to hear your business is in the shitter. We winter in Arizona and we're looking to upgrade from our little bungalow, but the real estate market has absolutely died , down there". Yeah, some niceties exchanged between these statements, however, this was his train of thought! An intelligent,oh, 75 year old retired republican. My thought the whole time he was talking...we won this thing!!!

4. Not lying, chelaque.
In my business we NEVER talk politics. Never. It didn't take long for him to start ranting after I told him our business is non-existant.

2. Intelligent? An intelligent person would at least have gotten Obama's name right.
His opinion leaves his intelligence in some question as well.

9. No, he couldn't.
My father is an intelligent, 69-year-old Democrat who has a good grasp of economics.

5. GOP = Delusional and responsibility adverse: how else to explain that everything wrong that happened
on jr.'s watch was either Clinton's fault or because Obama is coming.
Barak must have some kind of power if he can caues a world wide financial collapse before he is inaugurated.

6. So Bush has nothing to do with this?
The world who says it want's Obama as President has the entire world selling their stock because of Obama?

That's an uneducated man that you were dealing with.

the hard core refuses to accept blame. He is not stupid. Very well off. Very misguided. We are a very divided country.

This creature is a product of Rush Limbaugh. 20 years now. The amount of hate is extreme.

16. Yes, Dawg.
Limbaugh. When he said Osama, I turned to his wife and gave her the Christopher Walken look from True Romance. Is this guy fucking serious???

17. I can't understand the logic of the hard core.
Everythng they stand for is being torn asunder. Yet, they maintain the faith. I guess it's down with the ship.
