		<description>&quot;To hell with bear stearns, freddie mac, and the whole lot of them. None of those fools should have been bailed out, for the record. They got greedy and gave mortgages to people who were stupid enough to take them when they couldn’t afford them, and it blew up in their faces.&quot;

Gee - like that faux outrage is really going to prevent Bush and other Republicans from bailing them out. 

&quot;What would you call a group of white voters who voted 90% for a white guy?&quot;

Well, consider that 90% of black voters vote for the Democratic candidate, period.  Kerry and Gore got over 90% of the black vote, and last I checked, they ain&#039;t black.</description>

		<description>How diverse is a group of people who vote 90% for one candidate?

What would you call a group of white voters who voted 90% for a white guy?

Questions swirl.....</description>

		<description>J McCann,
I would love to see evidence to support that Obama will raise taxes more than any president in HISTORY!(mhuhaha). Oh and drop your lame attempt at ebonics or sounding hip. If your personality is more Rovian than stick to it and never venture to more current venacular. I think I heard this at a Comedy Central Roast: &quot;I couldn&#039;t cringe harder if I saw one of my relatives in a bukaki video&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You still ignore the fact that most minorities support higher taxes and more government programs, which is more socialist in leaning. What I said originally holds true. If not, explain that one to me. If over 9 out of 10 black people are supporting a guy who is going to raise taxes more than any president in history, it CERTAINLY holds true with that particular demographic.

Tell me where I’m wrong.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I can&#039;t do that, mccann. I can&#039;t tell you where you&#039;re wrong because all that stuff exists only in your head--a place too frightening for me to even imagine, much less explain to you.

You&#039;re making one baseless, bigoted assumption after another. I don&#039;t have the inclination to educate you.</description>

Tough shit. That&#039;s what I say. Let&#039;em go bankrupt, and let the fools live in apartments. That&#039;s where the vast majority of the should have been living in the first place.

And quaker....

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;This is what happens when you teach people that government is supposed to take care of them. It turns into a “who be givin me sum free shiznit boyeeee dats who I beez votin fo’ holla” kind of society.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;


 Holy fuck, thats got to be single most concentrated sample of banjo-plucking wingnuttery I&#039;ve read in a long while. 

  It&#039;s only confusing until you remember that McCann is a true American, while everyone else who&#039;s ever sapped this great nation of its resources via taxpayer funded entitlement programs (libraries, law enforcement, national defense, bank bailouts) are perpetually ignorant and needy socialists. After that it starts making sense.</description>

I&#039;m sure you&#039;ve shared your concern about government handouts with the folks of Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, right?</description>

		<description>&quot;Too bad more minorites aren’t for capitalism and lower taxes.&quot;

For a long time, neither were most whites.  Slavery means you do not have to pay for the labor you use, and for the first century of the country&#039;s existence, many people seemed quite content with such a rejection of capitalism.  This was followed by Jim Crow, which put into place labor market restrictions that no true lover of capitalism would want to observe.  If it is my company, why should the government tell me I can&#039;t hire blacks if they can do the job.

As for taxes, Bush has not exactly been eager to cut the most onerous of all taxes - the payroll tax.</description>

		<description>Hey mccann, you ignorant slut.

The socialists aparently actually live in Alaska and Arizona where they get more in Federal spending than they pay in Federal receipts rather than the Blue staters who end up having to pay for them.

		<description>Yeah, good observation. 

Too bad more minorites aren&#039;t for capitalism and lower taxes. Then maybe they&#039;d have the sense to vote republican instead of for a socialist like Obama.
