Phil Gramm is a piece of work. When he was legislator... he was a blight on America. There is little doubt whose interests he was protecting. And it was not the American people.

FIRE'd@51... you post the correction... Thanks for that. But what is your point? You feel some need to defend Phil Gramm? I hope not... defending wrong-headed Republicans just continues the problem. Most of the Republican party had better distance themselves from him... he is a pariah.

I am absolutely shocked that John McCain pick him as an economic adviser. In a way it shows how disconnected John is from the average American's economic needs. And I do not think John is a bad guy... but I am not voting for him. I would have voted for him in 2000... but not now.
