Republican talking heads and McSame campaign surrogates are blaming the recent market meltdown on Alexander Hamilton and that "wishy washy liberal Democrat", Thomas Jefferson. They contend that this crisis has been building since 1776, pointing out that if the nation had continued the wise counsel of Millard Filmore (technically a Whig and No Nothing party member but forbearer of the GOP) famous for his 1848-49 reformation of the banking system, Texas would not have been admitted to the union and George W. Bu$h would not have been qualified to be pResident. Absent the Bu$h spin machine and Karl Rove, the Democrats might have prevented the dismantling of protective regulation of the banking industry by Phil Graham, McSame's primary economic advisor. Thru a campaign spokes person, candidate McSame stated, "We are proud of those who led the way, like Millard Filmore and his defender, Senator Henry S. Foote", who, on the floor of the Senate, nearly shot hard currency apologist Thomas Hart Benton, a known partisan Democrat, a duelist, and a topic from John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage.
