Did I expect George Bush to f - - - it up as badly as he did?

Quote from Rearden Metal:



Personal freedom Liberals sure, but not welfare collectivists. Buffet/Soros Socialist thinking is extremely rare among traders I've met.

Didn't Hillary make a "small" fortune in commodities trading?

Think the Kennedy family made any money during the 90's in trading stocks?

Hell, Democrats pay taxes just like Republicans. Think of all the wealthy Jewish Democrats and the billions they pay collectively in taxes. The manner they want those tax dollars spent is the difference between them and Republicans, not their own personal desire to make money.

Faulty argument by BobCathy, and spurious conclusions on your part.

Now wait a second. Is this LONGSHOT/FPC I find myself in agreement with? It's getting scary that your recent posts are getting more and more level headed and coherent.

You stop drinking??

Peace,

No, did you start? LOL

Quote from LongShot:



People are DYING is that something that make you happy??! I think a little "whining" is in order under the circumstances.

Nine kids just died, and we're now stringing razor-sharp barbed wire around entire towns.

We're embroiled in a real mess and GI's are killed damn near every day.

Oh yeah..

I think a little "whining" is perfectly acceptable...

:-/

Oh my god, this arguement is so weak. Look, people are f*cking dying in this country. Funny how liberals don't try to come to the rescue of all those dying domestically. All the murders, all the rapes, all the crime. No, they elect liberal judges to give violent criminals second chances, we have liberal lawyers getting violent criminals off on sick and disgusting crimes, then we have liberals perpetuating the welfare state by keeping minorities poor and dependent off the gov't so they always fall back to crime to support themselves. It's a sick cycle.

Yet despite all these deaths everyday that have been going on in this country for 50 years, they continue to do nothing about it, yet they complain about deaths over sea in a time of war! Unreal. If you really want to stop people from being killed, why not focus on education, getting poor people off welfare, helping inner city people start business and clean up their communities. Such hypocrisy coming from the left. It makes me sick.

They are not Republicans. Republicans are pro-business. Did you not notice the stock market rose this year? Who did that? A republican president. Mr. Bush.

I believe it is well accepted among top economists that a president rarely has any influence on the economic situation during his tenure. In fact, you could argue that the roaring 90's were in part due to Reagan -- not Clinton.

Also, making a statement implying that all democrats are such and such is a bit of an overwhelming generalization, wouldn't you agree?

Aphie, this was meant to show how I feel about all the Bush Bashing that is going on.
My argument is just as illogical. All democrats stink is the same as all republicans stink. And I have been seeing a lot of that on this board.

Just so everyone knows who they are talking to.
Bob is a dyed in the wool, born republican.
Cathy is a registered independent since she has been voting.

I hope it was the Cathy aspect of BobCathy that just wrote what you said, because it is completely illogical and irrational.

Plenty of democrats are traders, and they made fortunes under Clinton.

No, actually that was Bob. Guess I have to start signing the pieces so you know.

It's no secret why you had some great success. You're one of the best observationist's on this board. In the many years I was on the floor of the CBOT I never met a big-government, big tax, trader. However 90% of the guys did lines, smoked doobies, drank in gigantic quantities, and gambled for both vocation and recreation.. Libertarian city. I find it duplicitous and suspicious that only after some of these Soros, Buffet, Kennedy types make their $, that they become tax and spend social conscious purveyors.

Let's see...Hillary made her money using a broker who front ran her order's in front of other clients(I know this, and will describe the process another time)

Kennedy fortune, bootlegging (Joseph Kennedy wasn't exactly a huge Lib either)

Jewish democrats. Yea ton's of them. And you know what? They're socialists. If people feel guilty, or want to "give back", fine. Just don't force your prerogative on mine. You seem so concerned with "social justice", and the rights of the accused. Doesn't it bother you a bit that if a man refuses to be a de facto serf for the government that his property is seized and that he may be imprisoned?

Say hi to the guys at your next KKK and Aryan Nation meetings. Tell 'em we are prepared this time.
