No way your senators are the dumbest. MY senators are the dumbest SOB's on the planet. The worst part is, they are SO dumb that they probably think they have just done a good thing. Then again, most Americans with an IQ above 100 probably feel they could make the above statement.

>>Obviously a lot more (R's) voted aye that nay. It was 28 Y, 13 N, 8 abstained....versus 45-0-6 for the (D)'s. It's clear who pushed this through. This was not the "administration's bill", this was the same crap Dodd tried to foist off on us 3 times earlier this year. Bush opposed and/or threatened a veto until he got strongarmed by some lilly livered (R) Clowngressmen who thought they'd get run out if they voted against it. The bill was handwritten for Dodd by BAC/CFC (one of the favors they received in return for him being a friend of Angelo). While some of the (R) senators and Clowngressman acted reprehensibly in supporting it, virtually ALL of the (D)'s supported it. That's a fact. Check the votes. AFA as the relative intelligence of McCain versus Kyl goes, McCain finished near the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy. Kyl finished near the top of his, and again in Law School (he was editor-in-chief of the Law Review, which is not a distinction given to the "stupid"). By your account, since Bush is "for" the bill, then Kyl is in opposition to him. And at some political risk, as AZ is one of the bubbliest housing states, and it's guaranteed that the (D)'s will try to tar him with it, even though it was the right thing to do. How did Giffords, Mitchell and Pastor vote, BTW? McCain clearly f*cked up by siding with Keating. Clearly that wasn't only an (R) thing, as DeConcini happended to make the same mistake. As did the other 3 members of the Keating Five, all of whom were (D)'s. At least McCain learned from it, and now he's not siding with Tan Angelo, Syron, Lewis and Paulson. Unfortunately, the entire (D) party is. He's wrong on the war, but Obama is now waffling and sounding like Nixon did as an "antiwar" candidate in 1968. He wants the troops to go from Iraq to Afghanistan. Great, we get to fight the same war there that the Russians lost after bankrupting their country. So though I was a registered (D) my entire life, up until changing registration to vote for Paul in the primary, they may have lost me for good with this one. Yours truly, Patron (I), AZ.
