As a Wisconsin resident and former citizen of the fine city of Waukesha it is apparent Dickerson has completely mischaracterized the MCCain rally and the folks who attended. Waukesha is for sure GOP country, a rarity in Wisconsin. It is mostly blue collar with pockets of affluent folks. These folks are hardly the dangerous rabble rousers that Dickerson is attempting to portray.

But Dickerson is right about one thing. There is anger amongst the GOP faithful such as myself and you saw some examples in Waukesha. That anger is directed as much at McCain as anyone else for failing to do what needs to be done to win this election. He keeps stressing his ability to work with Dems and to reach accross the aisle. THATS THE PROBLEM SENATOR!!! Did Pelosi sound like she was ready to work in a bipartisan fashion when she announced the bail out plan then ripped into Bush and the GOP concerning the economy?

To hell with bipartisanship. We are a divided country politically. Libs can get away with calling Bush Hitler, the world's number terrorist, etc., etc., etc., but we are dangerous? MCain is failing to recognizr that Obama is dealing the same class warfare BS that the libs have been pushing for 40 years. Unfortunately, the Wall Street criminals are feeding the stereotype. McCain has failed miserably in communicating the FACT that the present financial crisis is directly attributable to DEM policies and their refusal to clean up the mess and corruption that was rampant at Freddie and Fannie. Frank, Dodd, Schumer and Obama were warned years ago of the problems by both regulators and GOP congressman. This is not a problem of deregulation, this is a problem of lib senators and congressman ignoring the warnings because their blessed little contituents who had no business getting these loans to begin with were benefitting.

Dickerson fails to understand that those of us who own small businesses, such as myself, are sick and tired of being villanized because we make a decent living. We create wealth and opportunity for our staff. We take risks. If Obama is elected we will be taxed to death even more than we already are. Gee, that will make me want to hire more employees and expand my business. There is a culture war in America and it is being waged by the DEMS along class lines. They have convinved the so called working class that we are the reason they are not better off. How patriotic it is to take from those who create opportunity and give to those who the DEMS feel are more worthy.

Pissed off? Your damn right we are pissed off. McCain needs to be less of an appeaser and more of an ass kicker. I fear it may already be too late.

It is reassuring to me that the majority of Americans don't feel as you do.

Guess what – we’re pissed off, too – and we’re so pissed off that there is no way in hell McCain is going to win this election. You seem to have forgotten that the Dems have been on their way back IN the White House for two years now – when the American public made the decision they had had enough of the Republicans and the Bush administration. We will now complete the swing of the pendulum and take the country back in November.

The Republicans have been running things for almost 8 years – so they’ve had their chance. Look at the mess we are in! It’s really pitiful to blame the Dems now!

It IS too late for you, so fasten your seatbelt – and get over yourself!

You're foamin-g at the mouth and all that's comin-g out is bullshit. your precious little bush/mc-cain't have been taxin-g you, and spendin-g it on their precious little fuckin-g war on irak. Pelosi has as much power as Superman in a room full of Kryptonite.

----and Dickerson was absolutely right about what went on at that mob scene in waukesha. If anything, his report was too muted in tone.

What do Frannie and Freddie have to do with credit default swaps and the $531 trillion derivatives market?

you're kidding.

Thanks for the spellcheck. If you think this whole crisis comes down to F&F then you'll believe anything as long as it comes from the rightwing and blames the "liberals".
