which GOP candidate is most likely to put the economy back in the dumper?

Sorry but you might think hard on the facts first.

It was the Democrats that refused to reign in Fannie and Freddi because they put too much into the pockets of their fellow Democrats. Senator Dodd and Rep. Franks are two that come to mind very fast. In the middle of Mr. Clinton's term the Republicans tried to gain some regulation on the banking industry but Mr. Dodd and Mr. Franks in their own places refused to let it come to be.

Then when the two institutes were failing Rep. Franks said that they both were sound and nothing to worry about so invest in them. This was June of 2008.

Also it was under the rule of the Democrats from 2006 to 201o when they had both houses locked up and did not do anything other than have Mr. Bush agree with TARP.

The Democrat controlled Senate have not passed a budget bill in over 3 years when all you need is a simple 51 votes to pass it. There is no 60 votes needed for the budget to be brought to the floor.

As an Independent I will not nor ever would vote for Mr." I am in a job above my pay scale" Obama.
