I feel disappointed that McCain and Obama have pretty much the same foreign policy. I guess I never paid attention to their platforms before.

Guess I'm voting for Ron Paul. =/

I liked Ron Paul. Apparently Troy does too, there are signs for him posted everywhere.

I really liked Mike Gravel though. I think it's ashame his campaign wasn't funded nearly enough & that he was so underrated and basically unacknowledged.

A stock market crash is a sudden dramatic decline of stock prices across a significant cross-section of a stock market. Crashes are driven by panic as much as by underlying economic factors. They often follow speculative stock market bubbles.


like the bubble the dems (namely FDR) created when Fannie Mae was created

then, in '68, another dem, LBJ, privatized Fannie Mae

and in '99 yet another dem, clinton, encouraged loosening the requirements for a FM loan, to the point that people could just outright lie on their applications and the sellers would help you do it

seems to me that bush just got fed up with the cry-babies, said "Fuck you very much" and completely dropped the anti-predatory lending rules

which was what the dems wanted so that everyone could own a house
whether they could afford it or not

its just that history has a bad habit of repeating itself if you can't see where it all went wrong the first time

Nice slippery slope argument. What next? Gay marriage leading to beastiality? Assisted suicide leading to murder?

Proof that the primaries tend to select one of the most mediocre candidates: the Dems had both Gravel and Edwards contesting for the nomination. We wound up with a game show contest between Hillary and Barrack. Ouch.
