We should have sent him a fruit basket on November 7th. The movement he started turned so many people off to the Republican party.

16. He was actually going off on a rant about how the Govt shouldn't stop foreclosures

or bail out the homeowners, like an un-American douche. Needless to say, that rant began the Tea Party. Yes, the TP was started as a counteract to compassion & the well-being of our citizens.

Edit: He was basically blaming the housing market on irresponsible buyers instead of irresponsible Wall ST.
