Let's see if we get some .65's or .70's today.
I'll go another step forward. I'm not sure I agree McCain is the same but here's the deal.
Why are we a corporate run government? At least that's what some say and I tend to believe as well. It's because lobbyists bribe politicians to add pork to legistlative incentives. Who pays the lobbyists? Corporations.
We would achieve far less government intrusion by simply outlawing the practice of lobbying.
Now watch... some people here are going to go see which candidate has received "gifts" from Washington lobbyists. LOL!
As I agree 100%, we can hang up the idea of returning to basic principles this country was founded.
Humans aren't smart enough, ambitious enough or tolerant enough as a whole to take on more self governization in a population this size.
You can promote self responsibility which is done more by the conservatives than the liberals. But you won't ever achieve what we had back in 1776.
Europe will love us about 50 years from now as we continue to model our form of government after their's.
No Obama supporters should ever say a thing about illegals and their burden they put on the U.S. You either, Abby. LOL!

Hispanics Don’t Have to Fear Raids, Michelle Obama Says
Wednesday, August 27, 2008
By Steven K. Paulson, Associated Press
Michelle Obama, wife of democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), talks to volunteers during Delegate Service Day at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver. (AP Photo/Jack Dempsey)Denver (AP) - Hispanics should not have to live in fear of raids by immigration agents, Michelle Obama told a Hispanic caucus to the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.
Her husband, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, wants to reform immigration policies and provide illegal immigrants a path to citizenship, she said.
"We would have an immigration policy that brings 12 million people out of the shadows," she told cheering caucus members who shouted "Yes we can" in Spanish.
LOL! Wake up, dude:

Political shows boost ratings of Fox News
By Paul J. Gough
Hollywood Reporter
Published on Monday, Aug 25, 2008
NEW YORK: Political-themed programming last week worked wonders for the already high Fox News Channel ratings.
Special Character & Conduct profiles of the two presidential candidates scored high in the ratings taking the place of the vacationing Bill O'Reilly.
On Monday, the Barack Obama documentary averaged 2.3 million viewers, Nielsen Media Research said. That compared with 1.1 million for MSNBC's Countdown and 687,000 for CNN's Election Center. It also beat The O'Reilly Factor average July ratings, which are 2.2 million.
Tuesday's documentary on John McCain averaged 2.6 million viewers, compared with 1.3 million for MSNBC's Countdown and 499,000 for CNN's Election Center.
That's all atop Fox News Channel's win on Aug. 23 among the three cable newsers of the Saddleback Presidential Forum, where Obama and McCain were interviewed by the Rev. Rick Warren. Fox News' two-hour coverage averaged 2.8 million viewers with CNN's 1.9 million and MSNBC's 871,000.

In a nut shell, your bias will pick up the demographic for any one show.
Edit - Those folks that switched to the other channels for the DNC viewing lost their RNC cards. They can still vote for McCain though so don't get your hopes up.

Lies, lies, lies! The U.S. does NOT control Iraq's oil. Iraq does.
China, Iraq reach $3 bln oil service deal
As security improves, Iraq is trying to bring in foreign companies to help increase crude output from the current 2.5 million barrels a day to 3 million barrels a day by the end of 2008, and 4.5 million barrels a day by the end of 2013.

Will liberals please stop lying? Fox news doesn't need the competition. LOL!
Ummm, yeah I heard of inflation and was the point of my post.
30k in the mid 90's = 50k today = Inflation.
Apparently, you do not understand it as clearly as you thought. Honestly, I didn't think I had to spell it out though. My bad. LOL!
Ya, 90% on iHubbers are living off under 50k per year and collecting wellfare so they can stay home to trade stocks and post on a message board. Except that one guy who says he's running a million dollar business and has enough wealth to turn down a multimillion recording deal.
LOL!
Not sure I believe any of that. I don't think 90% of those posting on this thread are on the far left, thus, your estimate is going to be off. Hehehe
FYI! Now Gays are segregating into races. In Atlanta this weekend, we have Black Gay Pride.
http://www.inthelifeatl.com/
LOL! Come on. Now gay whites can't parade with gay blacks?
Yeah, right. Once speculators find out that we are allowing the exploration in cheaper areas with suspected high yeilds, they'll bring the price of a barrel of oil well under $90 which translates to a dollar decrease in gas prices.
It's the speculators (the Market) you have to convince of high supplies which will bring the price down. Not a bunch of whining liberals that don't want to drill.
Note this does NOT discount using incentives to increase R&D into alternative energy sources. Neither candidate will turn down this type of initiative in today's climate... depending on the pork attached.
Man, you guys that want to tax corporations just don't get it.
What do you think Exxon would do if you raised their taxes considering they have profit margin goals to sustain? That's right, they'll raise the price of the product.
A tax increase on corporations is a tax on you and I. Please stop promoting that because gas prices are high enough, thank you very much.
Note - Apply that formula to any type of business and you can see how that rhetoric speeds up inflation.
NOW, if you want to charge a royalty to oil companies for U.S. originated product they sell abroad, I'm on board. That is ONE thing Nancy Pelosi had right recently. Unfortunately, those royalties are already spent in her mind. But better than a tax.
LOL! Dude, your's and Abby's sources are hilarious. Quotes from posters on other boards? Hehehe
I can't say whether or not POW's were raped by the NV. Not that it matters but where's the source of this claim? LOL!
I do know that POW's were made to read propaganda speeches but how's that any different than liberals her in the U.S. lecturing our troops abroad from their arm chairs? Or some celebrities from their international stages?
Give me a break, man. Who are you trying to convince? A bunch of liberals who wouldn't vote for McCain anyway? LOL! The fact that liberals bash McCain for POW propaganda (whether true or not) is hypocrisy at best.
What's a bunch of BS? In Alaska, isn't pay pretty good up there? I mean, you have king crab fishermen that make 10 - 20k in just 2 weeks! LOL!
In Atlanta, you could make 50k waiting tables. I used to wait tables during college and made around 30k in the early 90's!
You said it yourself. 1 million doesn't go far now days. If that's your opinion, 50k per year is piggy bank money. Hehehe
Did a group of people really show up at Rufus's place with fake orders to pick him up? Or did I start reading at the end of a joke?
IBM calls a no brainer here, IMO:
.IBMIF IBM SEP 130 Calls
These hit .60 today and now sitting at a .35 x .40 price. The stock seems to show some life again and we could see these move right back to .60 tomorrow.
Disclosure - I own these and had to average down but looking good now after today's action. Just giving the whole story here. LOL!
IMO, of course.
You heard it here first and before the moves. LOL! I'm getting better at tricking the market on my buys/sells. Hehehe
Right on IBM
Right on DIA
Wrong on oil
I had a dream the DOW would close up 160 points today. LOL! Buy on that DD.
Good PARENTS and CHURCH make the choice easy.
Do you know any of these people?
Translated, "I can't explain homosexuality in nature and bi-sexualism throws another wrench in my binary view of homosexuals. Please don't let me find out that a gay or bi parents' kids are normal and happy in today's society because that would be a third wrench in my twisted view of people who are different than me."
Normal = what 51% of a population believes. Did you know there are cultures that accept behavior that you wouldn't consider normal? Yet in their culture, it works.
Imagine that. God didn't make a mistake by making people different and you haven't the tools to "fix it."
If you feel that homosexuals are the result of homosexuals bearing children with heterosexuals, where did the first homosexual come from? Do you know where the first documented "homos" came from? I do. Here's your hint (though they probably existed way before even then):
Good luck! LOL!

More fun Rufus claims from SPR:
Rufus and Ben said their "legal team" was working with investors that have sold based on info from Our-Street and Stocklemon. Where's that legal team now? LOL!
Rufus gives the following advise - "When you want to find the sharpest attorny, find one that's dealt with a lot of crooks." He never followed his own advise, eh?
Rufus asked on SPR - "What law is there that allows a broker to restrict buying of a security but only let's you sell the security?"
ARGH! Why are people so stupid? Yeah, I missed that myself back in the day. But for the sake of all that's holy, that is the dumbest question I've heard in a while.
Rufus - There is no "law" that says a broker MUST sell every damned security listed. Brokers can and do restrict buying on some securities to protect their clients. It is in the AGREEMENTS you signed with said broker.
Rufus and Ben claimed to have an MM on board. Still unnamed.
Rufus was supporting the Humanitarian and Scientific Org bond on SPR. But later on his secret board, bashed the "owners" of said bond as being crooks.
OK, that's enough silliness for the day. My IBM and DIA's are up today. Gots to go take some green.
DIA and IBM are making me sea sick.
FWIW, IMO, DIA (thus the DOW) close green today. We've had oil move up because the hurricane. BUT, I think the last 8 out of 10 inventory reports, we've had a surplus in oil supplies.
Abby's going to have an aneurysm over that sexist remark, as true as it is. Hehehe
If Abby had her way, these animals would be extinct today:
http://www.livescience.com/bestimg/index.php?cat=gayanimals
Maybe these chimps learned homosexuality from other chimps that broke out of a secret test facility in San Francisco?
Yeah, I agree.
Rufus specifically said on SPR that he was collecting a list of shareholders that sold due to Our-Street and Stocklemon reports. He said they were helping them bring cases of fraud against the websites.
I wonder how that's going? LOL!
I think the real conspiracy is that these jets seem to have perpetual tanks holding an infinite amount of chemicals in them. They can literally fly across an entire state before having to refill their tanks.
But how did they make their jet engines look like the dissipation tanks and where are the actual jet engines on the planes?
I'm not joking at all. Hold on... I can't let the guys in the black helicopters see what I'm typing. If they find out that I'm telling you guys this AND have a youtube window open investigating other conspiracies, my family and I are finished.
Wait! Please call for help! They're banging on my door right now!
Edit - Never mind. That was thunder cracking.

Because, lifespans are increasing. Populations are booming (might not be that great of thing, LOL!).
And like I said, it's not necessarily harmless. You just have to be ready to fight off the zombies created from the menacing chemtrails.
Are you sure those dying bee's weren't going through the metamorphysis of becoming living dead bees? Because I believe the government is trying to create zombie plantism right now. Your dying honey bees may have been collatoral damage. Here's a top secret government video that was just released due to the freedom of information act: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v166/pickey_bickey/?action=view¤t=movie081.flv
I sincerely believe this is being done to fight global warming and it's working because the farmer's almanac is predicting colder than normal temps this year.
The zombie plantism's can be destroyed by prunning or by having your local police department pick them up and ship to the arctic which is one reason that melting glaciers poses such a big threat.
Chemtrails also help children with fighting diseases caused by GW Bush. We must continue the use of chemtrails because more and more parents are refusing immunizations for their kids at school. Immunizations that contain disease fighting elements that doctors don't even know about. Increasing chemtrail activity is one of the reasons our deficit is so high today.
The Federal Chemtrail Agency (FCA) is taking issue with the Federal Weather Control Agency (FWCA) though. Recently, starting with Katrina (another GW Bush catastrophy) the FWCA is showing a complete lack of regard with the FCA. Every time the FCA wants to spray, the FWCA creates a hurricane preventing the spray from doing it's job. Right now, Atlanta has rain from the FWCA created Hurricane Faye and the local chapter of the FCA is in an uproar. This bothers me because the soccer team that I coach will not get their chem spray until Friday assuming the weather clears up by then. Let's see what the FWCA does.
I saw some of those the other day. I had to chop up 15 zombies trying to eat my flesh afterwards but for the most part, chemtrails are harmless.
If Fox is racists and bigoted, they have nothing on Comedy Central. See my post on Dave Chappel. LOL!
What I think is racist is that out of all the months in the year, blacks were given the shortest one to celebrate "national black history month." LOL! What an outrage.
Non-whites can bring up race at the drop of a hat. Whites cannot. Whites must wait for the card to be pulled before bringing it up.
For example in the entertainment world. Dave Chappel, whom is a great comedian IMO, can make racist remarks against whites all day in a stand up routine. No one really cares. But he also stereo types blacks as well. And again, no one really cares.
Now, let a white comedian get up there and do the same. LOL! Not always but most of the time, it's a problem.
Here's another example. Black guy walks down the road and a truck full of whites yell out the "n" word. This could turn ugly depending on location and accessibility to the white guys. I live outside Atlanta and I've been called "Cracker" at the concerts on the bricks. What the hell do I care? LOL! So I'm a saltine cracker. Big deal. Note that even on this message board, I was uncomfortable typing out what that "n" word is. I do kinda get that though.
Actually, a lot of people had a say in this. From the beginning, after the halt, NO ONE should have blindly followed the lying bastard. NO ONE should have stroked his ego. NO ONE should have indulged him on his secret boards. In one unanimous voice, everyone should have responded to anything Rufus posted with a big "Put up or shut up." Make the bastard either come through or dissappear.
He's playing you guys on the secret board. Some on the secret board are playing you guys the other way. IMO, Rufus is hoping that time runs out for anyone to come after him with a separate lawsuit. He's probably safe though. Who wants to put more money in this when you know Rufus hasn't the funds... errrr... anywhere a U.S. lawsuit can get to anyway.
That video in the link was HILARIOUS. I can't disagree with the point of that video and it was well done. However, I missed the racist/bigoted part. Any reference to race was talking to Obama supporters that brought it up in the first place. LOL!
But that was an awesome video. I was LMAO.
What does O'Reily have to do with bigotry? An ass maybe? But YOUR attack said that Fox news is racist. Again here, you call them bigots. Can you provide an example?
BTW, I dare you to walk the streets of atlanta and tell the first black man you meet "I mean, you are the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,".
If you take the dare, please be sure to take a video camera with you. LOL!
You do know that Biden wanted McCain to be Kerry's running mate against GW, don't you?
sylvester80, like abby, apparently believes that John McCain killed more Americans in Vietnam than the VC themselves. LOL!
I wonder what sylvester80 thinks of Jane Fonda and her posing with the VC? Was sylvester80 outraged over that? OK, ok, Jane didn't run for President. Fair enough. But Bill Clinton was a draft dodger. Was sylvester80 outraged over that? Hell, let's meet in the middle. Bill Clinton dodged the war all together. John McCain was in the war, tortured and gave into the VC because he changed his mind whether or not the war was the right war (I don't believe that, BTW). He did it for the left wing cause all along! Maybe John, in his small cell, was keeping count of the dead Americans in that politician's war the same way liberals do with today's Iraq war. Perhaps John's VC propaganda films show him stating that AMERICA MUST LEAVE! THIS IS THE WRONG WAR AND JUST A POLITICIAN'S WAR! AMERICANS, GET OUT NOW!
sylvester80 must agree with that, right?
Funny how the extreme left like to bash a soldier running for the Republican ticket regarding their service to the country from their arm chairs. At the same time, the same said extreme left wingers will decry the Vietnam war as the wrong war and shows sympathies to the veterans of it. LOL!
Hard to figure out, eh? LOL!
You have any examples? Here's what Biden said of Obama:
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."
LOL!
So what did Fox news say any worse than that?
Edit - Waiting. LOL!

OK. Whatever you say.

Wait a minute. Did you say right-wing radio promotes racism? How do you explain this?
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/08/25/chicago-clinton-supporter-obama-mentor-called-me-uncle-tom/
" Racial infighting among Democrats, which marred the presidential primaries, has flared up again at the party’s convention in Denver, where a black Hillary Clinton delegate is accusing a black Barack Obama delegate of calling her an “Uncle Tom.”
Delmarie Cobb of Chicago told FOX News Monday that Illinois Senate President Emil Jones, whom Obama called his “political godfather,” hurled the racially charged insult against her late Saturday for speaking out in support of Clinton. Although Democrats at the convention are trying to project an image of unity, there is lingering bitterness between the Clinton and Obama camps, in part because each side accused the other of playing the race card during the primaries."
Say it ain't so.

Do you know which direction you are going? You seem to correctly assess that what you posted had nothing to do with the Rev. Al Sharpton "get out the vote" initiative. Then you suggest the "right wing" is pandering to terrorists?
Where do you get this stuff? Did someone tell ya that the ALLEGED assasins had marching orders from the RNC? LOL! Did someone tell ya that they had RNC pamphlets supporting the assasination of Obama?
You like http://www.democraticunderground.com/ a lot, don't you?
Are you really going to compare Democratic constituants to some guys that may be trying to assasinate Obama?
LOL! OK.
If ya HAVE to walk people through the registration process to vote, do you really want them to vote?

"By JUDITH KOHLER, Associated Press Writer
Tue Aug 26, 2:06 AM ET
DENVER - The Rev. Al Sharpton said Monday that he and other civil rights leaders are kicking off a campaign to register voters in seven key states."
Well, yeah! You do! When your goal is to vote property from one group to give to the other.
This is how you know that the democratic party is pandering to low achievers in general. Constituants can't figure out if they can vote or not? They aren't smart enough to vote.
when are all these actions resulting in death and destruction going to be attributed to satan?
LOL!
Picture a Republican catering to the radical left and outlaw the ability to own more than two homes. Sign it into law and watch construction go down. Fewer homes being built = fewer jobs. And the Republican would take the heat for that also.
You can't win. LOL! "He has too much! We need to stop the greed. Greed goes away and production/manufacturing thus jobs go away. We need to fuel more greed now! Where's the balance? Maybe we should just shut up and enjoy a free market. Yeah, that's the ticket."
