How will they spin this...
The stock market is in free fall, oil prices are setting record highs daily, and Iraq continues to disintegrate...

Hopefully, voters will keep this in mind on November 2nd!

10. Bill Clinton's powers are limitless...
Even four years out of office and recuperating from cardiac problems, he still is able to control the stock markets, price of oil, and even the weather patterns (despite the fact that shrub has been president for almost four years and controls all three branches of government!).

Seriously, it sickens me that the republicans absolutely refuse to accept any responsibility for the ongoing foreign and domestic disasters (sickening, but not surprising).

6. This was my previous response to the market tanking...anyone agree?
I'm wondering if the buzz is going around Wall Street that Kerry is going to win by a landslide and everyone is gouging out as much profit as they can before Kerry starts bitch-slapping the Enrons and Halliburtons of the world...Just a thought...

7. Yeah, I'm surprised that no one makes the connection about

Iraq and oil prices. Ah, where's that url for that article about oil prices, Iraq, and the fear of Islamic Revolution spreading into Saudi Arabia when I need it? Anyway, I suspect they will spin it how they spin it now. The economy is strong. Things going good. Peeance and Freeance are on the march in Iraq!

...marked 17 years since the great crash under Ronnie Reagan in 1987. That crash happened on a Monday and next Monday will be the last Monday of the month. Here is a page that summarizes what happened and comp

11. My response on another thread:
It was probably.. ohHhhHhhh.. I dunno.. maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago that they had some friggin' (right-wing) Wall Street idiot on CNN who was absolutely giddy about Bush's chances in the election as a result of the DOW numbers he was citing that day. Of course, it was a one-sided opinion piece and they did not invite anyone from the other side to speak for Kerry.

Stocks had rallied for a day or so before his interview (I'm sorry.. I can't remember the dip$hit's name right off ).. but he INSISTED and I mean I-N-S-I-S-T-E-D - that when the DOW is up in October, history has proven that the incumbent wins.

The opposite happens he said, when stocks end on a downward note. 'Course, he was 100% confident there was no way that would happen.

I just wish that CNN would drag these clueless idiots that are peeing in their pants with excitement back in again and do follow-up interviews. Show them the clip where they're making these ludicrous claims, and then ask them to comment on what they had said.

I know.. I know.. I'm dreaming to think that CNN would ever invite the A-hole back again..

And even if they did, you think he'd accept the invite? BwwWAAahahAahAhaHHA!!!
