I don''''t want a radical, inexperienced black man , along with his VERY radical wife in the WH!!! What more do you need???

What do I need?

How about you just vote your delusions, instead of using the typical Republican 527 operative tactic of repeat, repeat, repeat the lie in the hopes that the gullible will fall into the trap of believing it because "I saw/heard it so many times that it must be true!"....

[homespunlady]

It WOULD be a HOOT to have tanker truck after tanker truck pulling up to the gates of those mansions belonging to the "traders" that plunk down for a million and CONTROL 100 million "on margin".

LOTS of STOCK TRADERS could ONLY DREAM of SUCH LAX REGULATION in the Stock Markets

OF COURSE that SAME LAX REGULATION was the CAUSE of the LAST "GREAT DEPRESSION".

SAME GAME. SAME RESULT. Just a DIFFERENT ITEM BEING TRADED.

GREAT DEPRESSION TWO here we come!

Wow, how pathetic. One person, pretending to be TWO neocons - how sad and ridiculous this person must be to have to support his own comments on a blog. LOL

Too funny.

It would be cool of CBS to have a look-up page that accessed a database table indexed by source IP address where you could input a name and see how many other names also had originated from that IP address.

Easy to do, and CBS would not have to show the linking IP address, thereby protecting individual privacy.

lollll...no doubt CBS already does precisely that, internally.

No I think bennyhinnnyc and terrorislam are the same person.
Neither of them seem to know what the topic is that they are posting to.

ddhinnyc 11:12 LOL Yea, we both just posted at 11:12--how could that happen if we were the same person--These Libs are all on drugs---delusional!!!
LOL IDIOTS!!

nd for all the CHANGE THE SUBJECT NEOCONS trying to DIVERT from the subject of this article:

"The argument that this OIL TRADING "ICE" is any more "foreign" than the IMMIGRANT pickup service that ALSO uses that abbreviation is BS to the MAX!

from the above article:

All this despite the fact ICE headquarters are on the fifth floor of a building in Atlanta, it''''s primary data center in Chicago, and nearly all its trades settled in U.S. dollars.

"It is a charade, and ... it defies explanation," Greenberger said. "


THAT MEANS ICE CAN BE PICKETED HERE IN THE US!!!
NO NEED TO GO "overseas"!!!

PROTESTERS AGAINST OIL TRADING CORRUPTION can CONVENIENTLY pedal down to THEIR "LOCAL" ATLANTA,GA and CHICAGO OFFICES to tell the OIL FAT CATS what they think of such ROBBER BARON TACTICS!!!

Just think a few "ENRON HIDEOUT HERE" signs

or a few "Your baby''''s FUTURE SOLD BY ICE" signs

or even "MAKE the PARASITES TAKE DELIVERY of the HIGH PRICED GAS they CAUSED" signs

and MAYBE the EMBARRASSMENT will SMOKE OUT the RATS and MAKE them BEHAVE RESPONSIBLY!!!!

Just a thought but HEY, after GAS gets to $12 gallon maybe it WILL seem like a GOOD IDEA.

[missingamerica]

I''m starting to think that either ICE, Goldman Sachs, or the RNC pays "ddinnyc" by the word.

If they are paying him or her for the quality and strength of his propaganda, they sure as hell are getting ripped off.

"or even "MAKE the PARASITES TAKE DELIVERY of the HIGH PRICED GAS they CAUSED" signs"
---------------------------------------

Interesting concept. If the scheme gets regulated, or there is a big drop in price/glut for any other reason, will there be margin calls, or investors taking delivery? Is this scheme becoming prevelant in the news along with the common (small, crowd-following) investor buying in late, to take the fall?
Kind of like the Enron meeting where the CEO said business was booming, so the price stayed high, while selling his shares before the bust.

ddhinny 10:57 I sure don''t----Colin Powell, I wouldn''t mind seeing him in the WH---but these two radicals??? No way!!

Posted by blondbiotch at 10:59 AM : Jun 18, 2008

Now you are either trying to camouflage racism by throwing Colin Powell''s name out, or you are displaying your ignorance.

Me, I think it is the latter. Colin Powell is a military man - he is intensely aware that the nation''s reliance upon oil and by extension foreign oil is America''s greatest strategic vulnerability.

I would not doubt for a minute that General Powell believes as I do: Namely, that the people who have worked so hard for 35 years and counting to keep America addicted to oil in order to line their pockets are the most successful traitors in America''s history.
