Tea baggers in the house get their bluff called and they fold

I'll just sit back and watch as your little cult implodes. I can't say I know exactly how I'll trade this, but I'm in a very nice position right now, and I have a decent idea of just how this will wind up in the markets.
This is the fruits of all your labors, fellas: enjoy it. You actually managed to undercut the public leader of the Republican Party, and destroy his bargaining power. If you think this will go unpunished, you really are living in a dream world.
You won't see this again in your lifetime, and once your cult is expelled from DC, it'll be gone for good. Meantime, you managed to walk right into the trap Obama set. Crazy.

Quote from MKTrader:
Anyone who wants to slow down our record-setting spending spree is now a "nutcase." Golly gee. Tin Foil, just get back to your Walter Mitty existence as a "trader." You don't look quite as foolish in that capacity.
You're the same one who calls for threads you don't like to be in the Politics & Religion area. Just the inane title and source of this one should send it to the trash bin.
I didn't start this thread.
The rest of your crap speaks for itself.

No, but if you had a shred of integrity or objecitivity, you'd say it should be sent to Politics and Religion, as you've whined about other threads in the past.
You can still do it. Or did I call your bluff?
MK:
As I recall, since you can't seem to let the topic go, you were absolutely awful at predicting anything in the weekly polls shortie used to run. It was a pathetic performance, and had I done such a thing I would never show my face here again.
You're lucky no one kept score there, but we all figured out pretty quick who was looking at the market objectively and who was just displaying their biases. What amazed me was that you wouldn't keep quiet, and just kept right on being mostly wrong without any apparent shame whatsoever. It was pretty weird to watch.
Even if I'm just a figment of my own imagination, that's still, on the evidence, doing better than you.
I won't be putting you on ignore, 'cause you're not worth the time it would take, and it's kind of fun watching you flail around trying to do this stuff anyway.
Max E Pad: all those prior posts by MK: those were disparaging posts, and yes, that was a disparaging one by me, in response, you will note, and only because I actually had evidence on hand that the guy has no clue what he's doing.
Now, if you want to compare the record, just look up shortie's old weekly poll threads, and read them. The evidence is all there.

You may be right on this one--but it's a fight worth fighting in my book. Otherwise, we'll keep raising the ceiling and spend-extend and pretend until the real D-Day occurs (not some arbitrary date).
But Obama is the most Machiavellian SOB to enter the Oval Office. He goes from Chicago Thug politician to cult leader (playing purely on emotions and baseless one-liners) to milquetoast (when dealing with Muslims). Very telling.

I think "cult" is a little strong, but still agree with your broader point. Obama/Dems, and apparently the GOP leadership, have calculated that American voters both blue and red are, when push comes to shove, just as "socialist" as eg the Scandinavian countries the TP seems to dislike so strongly.
They're likely right.
TP appears to have seriously overplayed it's hand. So what's being exposed now is a large philosophical division in the GOP camp. Unfrotunately for the GOP, this split may well make for an easy Obama re-election.

I wasn't long at the beginning of QE2, but never revealed my actual positions over the next few months. My comments were mostly directed at QE2 and non-sustainability of a long-term bull run. (Some were saying the indexes would be at new all-time highs by now, remember?)
Start a journal here and I'll be happy to position trade against you through 2012. I'm not going to post many short-term trades (and no intraday stuff) as that's too distracting.
Are you game? Let's see who "looks at the market objectively and who was just displaying their biases."
Quote from bond_trad3r:
Rule vote on Boehner plan overwhelmingly clears the house.
Here is an excerpt from a good article on what voting for the "rule" means. Its just a procedural vote, and not a vote on the underlying bill itself.
"The first potential trip wire for the bill is the vote on the "rule." This is what sets the parameters for debating the legislation. The House is expected to begin debating the "rule" in early afternoon, followed by a vote. It's this simple: if the House can't okay the rule dictating how they'll handle the debate on the floor, it can't skip to the underlying bills."

These guys have no idea what's going to hit them. It's already begun:
Jordan in redistricting crosshairs after bucking Boehner
It's like watching chess between a grandmaster and a novice. Backers of both parties want hard bargainers for their pet positions, because they're adult enough to know you'll never get all of what you want. They're not paying for unyielding brick walls.
