I'm sure that $orea$$'s gnomes are trying to rig any market sensitive data to make GW look bad or Putin on the otherside of the ponds.

One of these days Putin will tire of $oreA$$ and take care of the $oreA$$ problem.

What's the total bet on the issue?

10 of Soro's 'guys' = $5000 bet. -- Is that a big percentage of the market?

Our guy just made Dukakis' death penalty quote look like the "city on a hill" speech.

Please pull your panties out of your butt crack.

Adults knew what Bush was saying at the time. Damage control is already being done for those who are feebleminded enough to be manipulated by the media.

For the most part, the convention news has already overtaken this story.

That is a good question. I dont think they're Soros' guys.Not directly.


I am betting that their little Inet campaign offices has a little subversion going on. Moveon, or one of the others.

President George W. Bush made the largest screw-up in convention history when he appeared to announce that the war is unwinnable.

Anybody with a brain knows what he meant when he said that and he's right--we'll NEVER get all the terrorist nuts.

C'mon - even the talking heads agree that this is a non-event. In fact, the Dems are more likeley to hurt Kerry with this, because the more they try to pin the "flip-flop" label on Bush, the more they remind the mushy middle of how that term applies to Kerry.

In the real market this is called Pumping up the stock... it means nothing, but it does happen. Dems can try all they want to play with things like this, but the writing is on the wall... Kerry's toast.

We shall see if Kerry has the guts to mention Bush's "winning" statement to the VFW today. Rumor has it that will be the highlight of his speech.

I think if you read the Iowa sites rules & regs, that they mention being aware of the possibility of 'gaming the system', -- and that activity of that sort is monitored constantly.

I doubt seriously that even the archfiend Soros is capable of pulling a fast one on the Iowa eggheads.

1. It was only a gaff in that he gave the MSM a one-liner to sieze upon while regarding the entire statement he made.
2. It really was a minor blip that sKerry will try to capitalize upon, but get nowhere as more important things envelope the campaign.
3. Get real! This sounds like a seminar post!

Oh, I agree, and once the set of trades that collapsed the prices are looked at, the congruities of the accts (where they are, when they came on etc...) will get them bounced.


I dont think this will be a continuing phenomena....

I have been using $oreA$$ for about a year now.

Arnold used his famous Girly men comment to make fun of the doomers and gloomers re our economy. It is so appropriate for the third party whiners on FR who hate GW more than Michael Moore does.

>>1. It was only a gaff in that he gave the MSM a one-liner to sieze upon while regarding the entire statement he made.<<

OK, first off, I said it was a gaffe, and I said it was "Made to SOUND LIKE" he was declaring the war unwinnable. So, yes, you just exactly stated what his gaffe was: feeding the enemy ammo.

>> 2. It really was a minor blip that sKerry will try to capitalize upon, but get nowhere as more important things envelope the campaign. <<

We'll see whether it becomes a theme or not. I'm measuring the comparably minor miscommunication of the "mission accomplished" banner, the meaning of which I would have thought would be obvious to anyone.

>>3. Get real! This sounds like a seminar post!<<

I do regret the use of hyperbole.

Well reading them both on one thread was a needed lift after some of the trot I have come across and both fit "$ore$$" as well as others.

Think positively and usual slice and dice humor when describing the dark siders. They have no sense of humor. Humor and truth to them are like vampires in the movies getting Holy Water thrown on them.
