Obama might not make it to the White House. ------------------------------------------------------ Are you old enough to remember "burn baby burn". Gnome did you vote for Bush the first time or the second time that he ran?
NEITHER! Why do y'all think just because I recongize NObama for his potential destruction that I've ever been a Bush supporter?
And what would you have to say about Mssrs. Ewing (R-IL) and Lugar (R-IN) who introduced the "Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000" to our wonderful nation? Strange how I can't seem to find one single post of yours criticizing these Republican legislators for creating power contracts traded by the likes of Enron, West Texas Intermediate trading via ICE in Dubai and London without any CFTC regulation, or $35 TRILLION dollars worth of credit default swaps with absolutely zero SEC regulation whatsoever.
If you want to wager a bet, name the amount. We'll have a mod hold the money. I'm not bluffing. Money talks, bullshit walks.
No, I'm a Capitalist. I'm for America, "Land of Opportunity", "Home of the Free and the Brave", "Government of the people, by the people and for the people", and "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness"... where the government respects individual rights and freedoms, respects personal property and does not overstep its power beyond Constitutional limits. Last time I checked, the most Capitalistic government was in Hong Kong. The government provides police and fire protection plus infrastructure (roads, sewer, electric grid, etc.) and not much else... all for a 15% flat tax. The lesser and the smaller the government, the better. The further America drifts from that (maybe "drifts" is not the right term here... mayby "RACES"), the less I like it.
