Surprised; no. Throughly pissed to the point of likening to McCain for his fiscal responsibility schtick; getting there.

Ah, freshly printed money. There's nothing like that new money smell fresh from a scumbag pouch.

If only Romney had won, this would have been $233B thrown down from space...

I think the GOP should be split into three different parts just like Iraq.

Maybe I'll get lucky when that satellite crashes through my roof a find a bag with $149b hanging off its solar array.

"HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE F*CKING CRAZY?!?!?! AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO GIVES A SH*T ABOUT THE RULES?!?!?!?!"

(From Walter of "The Big Lebowski," one of the most brilliant pundits to ever grace the annals of history)

R.I.P Fred Thompson, R.I.P. Mitt Romney, R.I.P. Ghouliani,

More RINOS to mount on Ron Paul’s wall.

As I have stated before if McCain is the new face of the GOP, maybe being a RINOs isn't a bad thing. Also I cannot restate enough times Ron Paul's admittance that he only put an R behind his name so hec ould get better exposure.

McCain couldn't find a balance budget with both hands, a sherpa, a herd of St. Bernards, mapquest, GPS, Super Dippy Dopler Radar or Google.

Let's get real here, the problems are (not in any specific order)
Illegal aliens
The Morass of Congress (dealing with everything from the war to above)
Envormental wackos who won't let us drill off the shores of our own country, build power plants or fund research and developement into new sources of energy.
Price gouging and record profits by companines who outsource jobs, therefore money overseas.
A country full to the brim with people who can't wait to cheat each other, the government and even themselves ... cause they's so much smarter than everysbodies.

There's more, so much more than should be tackled here. The question you need to ask is what exactly has McCain done in the past 20+years. He has been supported by our tax dollars and what have we got for that. McCain Fiengold, McCain Kennedy, McCain Lieberman which doesn't mean he can work with these people, it means he's willing throw away his principles to get his name in the paper.

In the end isn't that what we want from our Chief Executive, our Commander in Chief, Head Honcho or for our welcome invaders from the south-El Jefe.

It's the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire. The "senators" are more interested in appeasing the masses. We are doomed to repeat history.

You sir are absolutely right. We continue to recreate the wheel because most of us are too stupid, lazy or blind to learn from history.

Good job.

Was it Ben Franklin who warned about allowing the masses to vote to give themselves money to be "the end of the Republic"? Yeah, I guess we're just about there.
