- standlee5- the dems did not have enough votes to override anything that bush wanted. they really shouldn''t have pormised as much as they did and that really pissed me off too. a one vote majoirty wasn''t enough to do anything. When obama gets in we will have a chance for real change. The clinton era is over because we put republicans in charge. that ended it. one of bush''s first acts was to distribute huge rebates to the very wealthy and to cut head start programs effectively eliminating the surplus Clinto built. that should''ve sounded the alarm for us clearly enough.

- Clinton era is over. Don''t think it''s coming back. It''s a different world and a different time. The global economy is in full swing and it swings like a pendulum. We''re all a victim of radical world changes. We need stability right now. Stay with the Republicans. You see what happens when Dems get ahold of things. Like Nancy Pelosi declaring the party''s over.

- This is our one chance to clean out the republicans once and for all and try to get some Clinton era peace and prosperity back. And when Obama finally gets this nation going again, whether it take 2, 4, 6 or even 8 years, we can''t forget this lesson. This is the same thing that began under elder Bush and was the reason Clinto got elected. The difference is this time we had a republican Congress and executive branch and their ideals were allowed to completely dicatate policy. Now we know what happens.

- I hope people in areas that have been particularly hard hit take a look at the local leadership. The local govt. has much more influence than the feds. Take a look at who''s leading. Is it a Democrat or a Republican mayor,state representative, state senator or governor. If there''s a pattern of long term party dominance maybe it''s time to change. Impoverished areas tend to have Democrat leaderwship well maybe that''s a self fulfilling prophecy. Get a republican in for a change and see if that can get some real economic stimulus. Same goes both ways. Try it and see what happens.

Scary, isn''t it. And the republicans almost convinced the American people to do it claiming social security was a socialist/communist ideal kind of like public education. - Reply to this comment
- Stocks have to hit less then 5000 and wipe out 40 years of debt based profits that stupid and fictitious.
People like myself have been saying for years that ever since we took ourselves off the gold standard and coined the phrase "debt is wealth" we are poor nation.
I''ve always said that as we stripped out our manufacturing base and have no domestic resources that we consume ourselves we are a lot more poorer then the 3rd World.
We are 3rd world, a developing nation that thought it could hide that fact with layers and layers of debt.
''Defecits do matter'' and ''debt is not wealth''.
British agent H.G. Wells was wrong!!! - Reply to this comment

That''s a bunch of ***. This began when the republicans took office. Our surplus was erased and Bush''s war in Iraq began draining our coffers. The market was allowed to run free in radical capitalist ways, people were denied access to bankruptcy and declared freeloaders and credit card companies promtly upped their interest rates. Gas prices skyrocketed driving prices up for everything and the oil companies (including those in the Bush/Cheney stock portfolio) set record profits. Now it all falls down. Now the same people that told us Bush was a better choice than McCain for office during the republican nominations want us to vote for McCain. - Reply to this comment

- I think Americans should only spend their money right now on clothing, food, shelter and transportation. We should not be spending frivolously or impulsively. Let Wall Street, financial institutions and corporations wallow in their mess!

Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to George Bush the King!
War on earth, and mercy none,

Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th'' angelic host proclaim,
"Bush is born in Crawfordhem.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to George Bush the King!
Bush, by highest heav''n adored:
Bush, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,

Born that man no more may die:
Born to raise the sone of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King! - Reply to this comment
I believe in most instances, there are 2 Newton%u2019s laws of physics related to emotions. They are for every action, there is like reaction. Then there is the momentum effect.
Emotions can be between individuals, nations or groups of people. You may have hate, good will or panic emotions. We now have worldwide panic when it comes to the worldwide stock markets. This has to do with the momentum effect of emotions.
What may be causing this negative emotion?
I would say it might be our negative presidential campaigns.
It seems our stock markets took a real negative turn when our presidential campaigns also took a real negative turn. This might have to do with 2 of Newton%u2019s laws when it relates to emotions.
I believe when the presidential campaigns stick to the issues and not mudsling, our stock markets will stabilize.
