I can just imagine what it would have looked like, if J-F'in Kerry had been elected, preaching his tax increases, tax-and-spend Marxist dogma, it most likely would have been pretty ugly...and especially after he had continued the liberal penalization of the producers in this country...freakin' Marxist IDIOT.

Everything in the economy would be down -- the stockmarket would be down and oil prices probably would have stayed inflated.

Senator Kerry was by the way endorsed by the Communist Party USA, and their website has a big article about how disappointed that their candidate wasn't elected.

The article takes the stance that the economy is in a fairly mixed state: some retailers are doing very well with 20% year-on-year growth. Some are doing worse than last year, but that's how it works. Not everyone has a banner year every year.

I would have liked to have seen better shopping numbers; I had really liked the durable goods production for this year -- last I looked a few weeks ago, it was very encouraging. And I think exports will be better than last year. Right now, we are at $607 billion in exports through September (seasonally adjusted) well ahead of last year at this time, and I think we may break $800 billion for the whole year. ( Here are where I picked up the latest trade numbers.)

Absolutely. Kerry and the radical far-left are a bunch of Commies/Marxists and the impact of having such an anti-American leftist in the White House would be profound on what is left of America, as it was founded, as it has grown to its greatness, and how it ONLY will survive.
