I agree. George Bush and Alan Greenspan have done more to damage free market capitalism than anyone since Karl Marx. The Neocons have made the GOP unelectable for the next 8 years. This has been the political equivalent of Seppuku. Entirely self-inflicted. That's what happens when you elect a provincial intellectual dwarf as your Presidential candidate.
And yet they want more punishment with Sarah Palin. I wish someone would ask McCain why since he decries W so much did he make the Alaskan female version of him his VP choice. It's disturbing. I can't wait till she is back in Alaska. She is like nails on a chalkboard to me
Actually, Carter replaced Burns with G William Miller. After nearly 2 years of failed Fed policy, Miller was replaced with Volcker. Just correcting the record. By the way, I think it's clear that the market is in the process of discounting an Obama election. A solidly Democratic government will not be bullish for the stock market. But I would imagine we go down until after the election, and then attempt an oversold rally. OldTrader

Interesting consideration, Mr. 777 ... maybe everyone who registered after May of 2001 should be viewed with suspicion ... Old Trader, I appreciate the cleanup ... maybe we'll see if the conventional logic re: the Pres and Congress being of the same party holds ...
Yes, the economic turmoil has been unfortunate for the Republicans, but historians will view the announcement of Palin as McCain's running mate as the beginning of the end of their '08 campaign. Too bad for Palin. I kind of like her, given what she is.
Sad but true... many Americans cannot possibly envision a black (half black) president. Add to that a little race baiting by the McCain ticket and you might have enough of a racist shift...
