The world according to Riff.

Another quip I wish I was sharp enough to pen myself......but I can pass along what I cant beat, in originality ...lol...riff

Dang ... I hate to admit it, but my liberal friends were right!! They had
warned me that if I voted for McCain, the nation's Hope would deteriorate,
and sure enough there has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence
Index since the election, reaching a lower point than at any time during the
Bush administration.

They warned me that if I voted for McCain, the US would become more deeply
embroiled in the Middle East, and sure enough, thousands of additional
troops are scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan.

They warned me that if I voted for McCain, that the economy would get even
worse and sure enough, unemployment is approaching 10% and the new stimulus
packages implemented recently have sent the stock market lower than at any
time since 9-11.

They warned me that if I voted for McCain, we would see more "crooks" in
high ranking positions in Federal government and sure enough, several recent
cabinet nominees and Senate appointments revealed resumes of scandal,
bribery and tax fraud.

They warned me that if I voted for McCain, we would see more "Pork at the
trough" in Federal government spending and sure enough, over 9,000 "earmark
Pork Bills" showed up in the bailout in the past few weeks ... several
hundred billions for the politicians and lobbyists's pet projects ... and to
buy more power and votes.

They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more deficit spending in DC
and sure enough, Pelosi, Reid, Barney, ad infinitum and some worthless
republicans have spent more in 30 days "than all other Presidents together"
in the history of the USA....

I ignored my Democrat friends in November and voted for McCain/Palin.

Damned if they weren't right ... and I still hate to admit it, but
all of their predictions have come true.
