Right now, the Dow is down by about 29 points, one day after the Democrats win back the House and probably the Senate.
Update: Rush just made a great point that I wanted to share. Even though the unemployment rate is a mere 4.4% and the stock market is at an all time high, both of which occurred under the Republican’s and President Bush’s watch, the MSM perpetuated the idea that the economy was in trouble. However, now that the Dems are in charge of Congress, be prepared for the MSM to start reporting on all the good economic news. Suddenly there will be news stories about how Americans are feeling so much more upbeat about their economic circumstances.
Yes, the jobless rate is low. But most of that job creation came in the low-paying, benefit-stingy service sector. ACTUAL income for the vast majority is at its lowest levels in decades. The true beneficiaries of this economy is the upper 1/10th of 1 percent. Yippee!
Sorry for your ego, but the markets so far seem to love the Democratic win.
And tso he moonbats shut down another winger thread with their manic obsession with objective reality.
We win again.
“Unfortunately, Lee, many of those 80% voted against their own economic best interests. That was my point.”
Every single non-millionare that voted for Bush in 2004 voted against their own best interests, but I am sure it takes more wisdom and more integrity to admit that than I am likely to find here.
This administration and it’s cohorts have done tremendous damage to this country – it’s economy, it’s reputation, and it’s future. All with the help of self-deluded cheerleaders that never seem to understand what they are talking about.
Time to stop allowing yourself to be tricked into betraying your own country – time to realize that the Neo-Cons have sold nothing but lies for the last 6 years. Time to get up off your knees.
And yes – it is time to say you are sorry.
I feel good today about the US.
Better than I have in a long time.
I really hope the new folks voted into offices in DC and around the country will pay all us voters back with careful but strong reality-based vision and new policies that will help this country move forward to join the world instead of sliding into unilateralist isolationism and xenophobia like it’s been doing for a while now.
I’m really tired of seeing the Bush administration try fight the War on Terror as if it were WWII part two and I still can’t believe the “trickle down” theory of economics hasn’t been as discredited in DC as it has been among academics.
I just hope that the Dems reel in the abuses of power that Bush thinks he is entitled to. The guy is a loose cannon and the most dangerous person on the face of the earth. I hope he is squashed like the maggot he is! Him, Cheney, Vampira Rice and the rest of the thugs. He likes torture so much we should send him and his little brats to Iraq and let the Iraqi people judge him.
Even though the unemployment rate is a mere 4.4% and the stock market is at an all time high, both of which occurred under the Republican’s and President Bush’s watch, the MSM perpetuated the idea that the economy was in trouble.
You forgot to mention that under Bush, the national debt increased by nearly 60% – now it’s over 8 trillion dollars. A helluva legacy for our children and grandchildren, huh?
Ah, the beauty of it all is that you right wing nutjobs can do nothing about any of it. Sucks doesn’t it. It’s a shame Allen lost. Otherwiase, this might have been interesting. Ha Ha, you scumbags.
Congratulations, Kim! You made Crooks and Liars!
Hmm, democratic Congress in chagre…Waaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! Cry me a fukin river neocons. You had 6 years with no checks and balances at all…and this is what you get: A revolt against the decider
The Market closed at a record high…
suck it losers!
Anybody know what VETO means. GET IT–VETO VETO VETO VETO -get used to it Speaker Stetch lovers. (could I just snicker a little ? just one? here goes –snicker-awww now I feel better)
Yes, you made crooks and liars.
When will everybody understand that both parties have their own interests at heart and none of ours?
What a dishonest post this is. 29 points is nothing – if you knew anything about the market you would realise this is, as one poster said, just noise. And your crowing about the economy and the job market completely ignores the national debt. Such intellectually dishonest people as yourself are wasting yours and everyone’s time with a post like this. Stop trying to get one over on the opposition and use your brain.
That’s weird…the Dow closed at 12,176 – up 19.77 points, and a record close. Maybe those evil Democrats are just trying to get your hopes up before they destroy the economy and install Osama as overlord, eh? Eh?
So, what does crow taste like, exactly?
here’s a different take on the market upswing……..http://www.financialexpress.com/latest_full_story.php?content_id=145962
Rumsfeld resigns
Rumsfeld resigning causes the market to hit a record………if Rumsfeld resignation can do that to the market, just think of what it could have done for the republicans……….did any of you guys feel a sharp stabbing pain in your back on Tuesday?
Notice how the libs are coming out of the wood work like cockroaches? Notice all the new names? Shows what a bunch of cowards they are. Hide until things go your way and then come out and say look what (I) did. Wimpy ass bootlickers.
what do you think jhow…….if Rumsfeld would have resigned earlier the republicans might have had a better chance? I mean look how some people are saying how his resignation affected the market.
I am sorry but what happen to being a true american. Everyone here is playing this talking game and pointing fingers laughing at the other side. Like Pelosi said, its time to work to together and move forward. Right now you’re playing this I hate the other side game but politics is about what will help your kids tomorrow. That is it. It isn’t the Iraq war, or the national debt. Yes those issues are pertinent to your future, but argue about them based upon how your life and your children’s are going to get better from solving the problem. Arguing to one-up some random white guy you have no clue of across the country helps no one, and not solving the problems of this country with a true spirit of nationalism and love is UNPATRIOTIC.
Be a true american and make a real difference. I wish all of you understood the rich can give a flyng “beep” about your concerns (bush, kerry etc.), yet you should all stand together and fight for them, not divided based on two meaningless political words people brand each other to win votes or affiliate themselves to a club. Become a true American; let’s have a beer and get out of this high school mentality, eh?
