You damn whiners.

Can’t afford to put gas in your automobile? No worries, it’s all in your head. Bank foreclosing on you? No worries, it’s all in your head. Sick, and can’t afford to see a doctor? No worries, it’s all in your head. Fed up with how your current government is fucking you over? No worries, it’s all in your head.

Gramm calls slowdown ‘mental’

Former Sen. Phil Gramm, a top economic adviser to presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, referred to the economic slowdown as “a mental recession” and called the United States “a nation of whiners.”

The comments, in an interview with The Washington Times, could hurt the campaign’s efforts to convince working-class Americans that McCain feels their pain.

Democrats immediately condemned the remarks as “callous” and quickly began working to gain widespread attention to them.

Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton shot back “[T]he American people know that our economic problems aren’t just in their heads. They don’t need psychological relief — they need real relief — and that’s what Barack Obama will provide as president.”

“Democrats immediately condemned the remarks as callous and quickly began working to gain widespread attention to them.”

Yep, we democrats sure are the busy-body mudslingers. Republicans would never participate in idle gossip.
