Bird33...your thoughts on the Candidates? - Bill - 05-06-2008

I'm liking Obama more and more.
I hear he's getting econimic tips from Paul Volcker which speaks volumes in my opinion.

that's a long fucking read man.....can't you just pretent like you like me for 5 minutes and post a condensed version here?

I'll "pretent" for a minute.

I like Obama.New style of politics that this country needs badly.Clinton is just a return to the old us vs. them bullshit that poisoned this country by bringing GWB into power.Obama and Clinton both have a better handle on the economy than Mccain by a large margin.Clintons former economy guy Robert Reich endorsed obama a few weeks back so he has a nice pool of people to draw info from.I like the fact he's not supporting the gas tax holiday.Shows he's not caught up in smokescreens designed to garner votes but don't make things better.Clinton has a few more weeks to wait for Obama to implode and if he doesnt he's got it.

thats because I'm 100% correct.To disagree would be foolish.

You can't be foolish if you agree with me.You might have just stumbled onto the secret to success.

No I did not.
didn't take the time to change my party affiliation as I don't claim one.
but to be honest I would have had a hard time making up my mind then.
historically republicans borrow and spend while democrats tax and spend.
borrowing is what's got us in this economic hole where're currently in so voting on ANY republican is kinda out for me. which takes me to the democrat side of things and until Obama and Hillery started talking about the economy in depth, the past 2 weeks, I've been undecided. then Hillery opened her trap and told the world how she would deal with Iran and that kinda sealed the deal for me. plus she's got a cart full of horse shit when it comes to economic advisers.

Yea her Iran comments were kind of weird.I'm pretty sure most democrats arent in favor of invading Iran.I think she's going after the shitkicker white vote that doesnt really understand how the world works or what situation we are in.

If it was strictly about oil it'd be easier to invade Venezuela.
As time drags on it's becoming very clear that our invasion of iraq wasn't about terrorism or oil but just a personal witch hunt for GWB. prior to the invasion iraq was pumping about 2.5-2.8 million barrels a day. now under american occupation they're pumping 1.5 million barrels a day. and that's on a good day. so it obviously wasn't about oil and we learned a long time ago it wasn't about terrorism. but we can damn sure borrow billions of dollars from china to pay for the whole thing and devalue the dollar in the process. I'm hoping gold will correct itself, the fed should then raise the prime a little and the dollar "should" start to regain some value on the global market. that alone will lower the price of oil.
