GOP Candidates Seek to Pin Crisis on Govt

Interesting article in Bloomberg [1] looking at the GOP candidates who have decided to get off of the reality train:

“The leading Republican candidates for president have embraced an explanation of the financial crisis that has been rejected by the chairman of the Federal Reserve, many economists and even three of the four Republicans on the government commission that investigated the meltdown.”

There are lots of details in the article, discussing the facts.

I was looking for someone to vote for other than Obama in the next election. I hoped Mitt Romney might be that candidate. But reality has left his presidential campaign — He just lost my vote . . .
