You guys keep arguing dems versus repubs and you're not seeing the forest through the trees.
That debate is useless.

Bush-Economy Strong!

- Start date
No joke she ran HP into the ground, then got her golden shoot. Soon as she left the company started to climb out of her hole.
Dems will make is easy for American in trouble to file BK again. Bush said so sorry you can't file Mr average American. Gave the credit card compaines the upper hand.
Now he and Paulson are bailing out huge corporations with our money.

bigarrow, you need 60 votes to get anything thru. The Dems only have 50-51. Do the math. That"s why the American people think the Dem's can't get anything done! [again not saying they can] But 99% only know from sound bites.
Meh, I worked there for about 4- 5 years.
Mark hurd is way beyond cutting fat, and has been cutting muscle/bone for a couple of years now. Many employees hate his guts, and most the talented/high performing employees are leaving for other companies that pay real bonuses, raises, etc. All the top talent left my team before I finally got the hint and went to work for an energy company.
Employees that are staying are either stupid, lazy, old or mediocre. Good luck running a business with that kind of employee.
Now he's (Hurd is) covering the fact that all his cutting is value destroying by muddling affairs with this EDS acquisition. It may be a match made in heaven: 2 companies with "C" employees racing each other to the bottom of the global labor market.
No thanks.
Wall Street and "Public Companies" are causing their own demise.
The FED RESV and SEC. OF TRES. have not helped the issue much.
Each CEO and FED/Sec Tres. would say "Everything is fine" and now we have BS, LEH, AIG, MWD and GS, WAMU and plenty more either gone or soon to be finished.
Private Equity investing into Private Companies, still thriving. Of course the fall out from the Idiots who are on the Street, will cause a slowdown that will inturn, touch Private Business.
IMHO the world of "Financial Markets" in the US, mom & Pop traders/Investors are finished. Retail trading will stick it out.
The market will probably head sideways for a decade, which in turn will cause many 'Traders' to trade tight equity markets.
Equity markets will be prounced dead.
However, Forex, comods, Emerging Markets, etc will still thrive.
The average American will open his/her 401k to find half of it gone. This in turn will cause a political back lash towards Wall Street and regulations will become king of the markets.

and what do you expect to accomplish by voting "none of the above"?
Just stay home and save the gas money.
Democracy is tyranny of the minority.
You get to choose between the lesser of the evils.
You don't get to choose the best of the two.
Republicans have amply demonstrated, not only are they they bigger of the two evils. They are heads and shoulders above everyone else in doing evil.
Standard rule of thumb. When a politician publicly runs on god, run away from him/her. They're appealing to the least common denominator in society. The poor, illiterates. Which translates to poor governance.
