Why does anyone like the Clintons?

Wall Street or Slots

With the roller coaster stock market ride this past week, some things have become clear to me, Playing the market is gambling pure and simple, there's a rush sure and risk yes but you might as well put money on a horse race, It seems that the market is not based on any reality but on what analysts project companies should do. Someone's unqualified opinion. Say I make widgets and sell millions of them in a year-year after year. So I have a year and don't quite sell a million and miss a projection(guess). And suddenly my companies worth 50% less. I'm still making millions of dollars worth of widgets.

Where does the lost money go? Who gets the spoils. The fed slashed interest rates to help the gamblers form killing themselves.. That's good for borrowers, god knows we need more debt. You can have the market, it's not worth worrying about.

Economists say the country is in a crapper, the recession is upon us. I say bullshit. Business is good in advertising. It's the bell weather-advertising gets cut when the actual economy is bad, that's not happening right now. The stock market is inacurate indicator of the economy, especially now in a presidential election year. That's my 2¢.

Clueless

It's the presidential political season and there's lots of fodder to talk about.
I watched the back half of the ABC Presidential Debates to see what the Dems had to say.

I must say that the sorry lot are clueless to the world around them.

So let me break it down, one at a time.

Edwards is simply a liberal mouthpiece spewing the same ole shit that can be found all over the net. Just once I'd like to hear him actually answer a question without telling me about how his dad worked in the mill. I don't care about your dad, I want to know if you want to win the war on terror. And why do you want to punish the people who have busted ass to make a decent living and actually made something of there lives and made a little money, created actual jobs, paid their taxes, go to church and volunteer to help their neighborhood. I'm talking about the small business owners, the new middle class with a combined income of low 6 figures.

Obama is an articulate and kind hearted candidate, they are starting the bloodletting against him. I like what he has to say but change for change sake is not practical or doable in the stake of politics we have now. I don't want to pay for the bloated programs he represents. I like him though.

Richardson, you can take your call for sacrifice and shove it up your ass. You represent the worst kind of old school dem. Tax me more so you can spend more while forcing industry to pay for more regulation. Go away old man.

And finally Dear Hillary. This was supposed to be your corination as queen. Now that you're not in the leader spot you're showing your true nasty self. You say that you are the only candidate with the experience to run my country. Bull shit.
You're nothing but has been lawyer in need of attention. You got elected to Senate because of Bill in a state that wants a celeb in the Senate seat, who was there before you???. You have done nothing positive for this country, you couldn't even kick your cheatin', lying husband to the curb. You hate Bush so much that it consumes every questions answer.


To all four of you, let me say this. This is a great country because of the great people that live here, not the damn politicians that attempt to run it. We are now winning the war in Iraq and winning the war on terror dispite your whining and from not help from you.
