That imho is the best example of treason, and no I'm not a liberal thank you and I'm not a Democrat either.

But better late than never. And our economy really can't wait until 2013 for a stimulus. And if god forbid a Repub gets elected, we'd have to wait until 2017 for a stimulus. Why do I think that &lt;i&gt;might&lt;/i&gt; be too late? "></outline>
