"The enemy of my enemies is my friend"? You seriously need to get beyond that model of decision making.

You pays your money you takes your chances.

Bullseye. Except that Bush is a "situational free marketeer" or "free marketeer of convenience" - take your pick. He would change horses in a heartbeat to suit his self-interest. Most people would.

Apparently, I'm chillin' wit Gandhi.

There have been a number of studies done on market correlations which indicate increased international correlation during periods in which the US has experienced highly volatile negative returns. While your demonstration would be impressive in its own right, it wouldn't add anything to the...

This is The Washington Post's take on the McCain video linking Obama to Raines. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/19/AR2008091903604.html

How do you feel about the considerable segment of society whose beacon of political enlightenment is Rush Limbaugh? Geniuses, I presume. http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/tags/rush_limbaugh

Are you asserting that there have been no rough patches in 'recent years'? It suffices to say that you are being disingenuous here. You proffered an invalid comparison between a negative systemic shock and a long term uptrend. That doesn't work. You've shown yourself to be a serious...

Be honest. You'd rather give them nothing. Given your stated views, it's hard to believe that you continued to put your personal efforts behind Keyes after that one. I'd like to think that your support of the 'Mavericks' is more reasoned... but...

Never said that there was. But, you can't deny that correlations of major markets have moved toward '1' every time the US market goes through a significant rough patch in recent years. Market correlations (between US & world) are much higher during volatile US downturns than long uptrends...

Judging by the results, maybe you shouldn't have spread yourself so thin. I'm not getting an 'anti-reparations' vibe quite yet. Neither did the media at the time. In fact, Keyes followed up with this statement clarifying his position: "The idea I have often put forward to address this...

Could this happen to do with the fact that the United States is the world's largest economy? Do you consider it even a remote possibility that the rest of the world would flourish while the US was in deep financial shit? Bush (and Clinton) have been enablers of the forces which created the...

"If memory serves me"?? You worked on the guy's campaign. So, you're saying that Keyes was merely weaving a metaphor, and not actually supporting reparations in the form of federal tax exemptions? I find that a bit hard to believe. I also find it hard to believe that the author of the...

Actually, the socialists would've never repealed Glass-Steagall. "The proposed deregulation will increase the degree of monopolization in finance and worsen the position of consumers in relation to creditors. Even more significant is its impact on the overall stability of US and world...

How did you feel when, during that campaign, Keyes announced his support for reparations for American Blacks? Did you continue providing your support to Mr. Keyes?

Pigs get slaughtered.

Speaking of shrill hsyterics...

None of the above.

With Obama regaining momentum, the Biden contract no longer appears to be a bargain.

Don't be fooled. She's every bit the opportunistic politician that Obama is, McCain is, Clin...er...Biden is.
