    NPR's been saying it for quite a while. Many people look at the financial troubles as something caused by Republican policies of deregulation, and note that Sen. McCain has long said that he does not know much about economics.

    Your zing has fizzled. Might want to see a doctor about that. Or an economist.

      Oh darn, did TK get it wrong, again...?

      Most folks can see right thru the McPalin BS of desperation and if the vote were today, Obama would skate in on hot greased rails.

        Free market capitalism is anathema to those who use dependency, and subjugation as the source of their power.

          points to ponder. please refute intelligently.


          Why I'm voting Democrat

          I'm voting Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a
          gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect
          me from murderers and thieves.

          I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry
          whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.

          I'm voting Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of
          4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the
          same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

          I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a
          better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

          I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as
          nobody is offended by it.

          I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust
          that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now
          think we're good people.

          I'm voting Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell
          us if it will rain on Friday CAN tell us that the polar ice caps
          will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

          I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the
          slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row
          inmates alive.

          I'm voting Democrat because I believe that business should not
          be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break
          even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution
          as THEY see fit.

          I'm voting Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to
          rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe
          kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.

          I'm voting Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my
          @#% it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.

            Escondido, please remember that debate is only fun if you put forth points that can be reasonably refuted.

            You should vote Democrat if you believe, have opinions, or 'think' it is good.

            The rest of us prefer facts, knowledge and history.

            PS - Congrats to you and your horsey.

              I can only dream of marrying a horse. First, our kids will have married parents. Our school will have a helluva football team with half human, half horse kids on the team.

                  Tobacco? He says he quit before announcing his presidential bid, but still smokes the occasional cigarette. More here.

                    It's amazing to me how Obama's rise in the polls has been inversely proportional to Wall St's gigantic losses. The only station reporting this is Fox News. Not a mention, or even the merest speculation on MSNBC, CNN, or NPR.
                    An observation made by someone who's obviously not a regular viewer of Hardball (MSNBC) or Situation Room (CNN).

                    You've got to be kidding. Wall Street's woes and its effects on the presidential campaign is talked about constantly on all the news networks. Today included. Statements like this only show you're not paying close attention.
                    This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal. Polite discussion of difference of opinion is welcome.

                      i have read that it is known but very hush hush that Laura Bush smokes. Maybe she's quit or has tried to, but I've read that she does indeed do so. Not that it matters IMO.

                        Ah jeez, I don't watch Fox news, consider myself politically ignorant and even I'm aware of the correlation!

                            This is a classic example of re-writing history. Yes, the neo-cons were bound to come up with some nonsensical way to blame the market collapse on the "libruls." Nice try, but doesn't wash.

                            I predict that the market is going to make a huge increase on November 5, the day after Obama is elected president. How are the neo-cons going to spin that? Smart money goes into the Stock Market before the election in a "total stock index fund" like the Wilshire 5000.
