Fat chance of that happening. Bush has promised to veto it. Cannot mess with his legacy.

Osama Bin Ladin caused an UPTURN in the economy. His deeds offered a REASON for the fall of the stock market. After the "explaination" Americans were ready to buy again. Stock markets are the product of mass social mood. Here's a chart of the Nasdaq and outside of volume on 9-11 you explain to me how Bin Ladin wasn't other than a postiive for the markets based on the Nasdaq chart below.

I am not talking about a drop in the stock market. Bin Laden introduced a high level risk aversion that people were not used to before. Anyone making any long term investment plans will be put off because of terrorism. But, that will eventually go away as he dies. This govt program, like any other program, will not only not go away but also grow to the point that it consumes our economy and the future generation. Thanks to Bush.

Yes by petty partisan nitwit trolls. Principle is what this is all about. The Consitiution Party is about the Constitution and the framers original intent.

Sorry, the level of risk is the result of social mood. If you look at this chart of the Nasdaq you will see that Bin Ladin is an absolute non-event-entity, except for briefly by volume and perhaps giving REASON for the misery everyone was feeling pre 9-11 as the chart demonstrates. Don't confuse the facts.

char·la·tan ( P ) Pronunciation Key (shärl-tn) n.

A person who makes elaborate, fraudulent, and often voluble claims to skill or knowledge; a quack or fraud.

It seems to me that the GOP are the "real charlaitans (sic)" since they are the ones supposedly in favor of limited government. The dems don't fraudulently make that claim.

And don't confuse your personal excuses for your losses, with the factual circumstances that actually caused them, namely GREED.

Why just pick on Nasdaq? There are lots of other exchanges. I dont really care what happened in the stock market. Stock markets go up and down and one act of terrorism will only cause a temporary flutter. What Osama did was introduce long term uncertainty in the economy, what you call social mood, that wont go away until he dies/surrenders/get caught and takes down the whole terrorism industry with him. But I could see that happening a lot before anything happens to the prescription drug program.

I am afraid you are right. We would have been much better off with Gore or Kerry.

The problem is the masses of idiots willing to be seduced by the bullsqueeze excreted by the likes of Bush, Kerry and the rest of those parasites.

If you think I'd "choose" either of those Big Stupid Government big spenders, you're nuts.
