wait, something's going on with the economy? huh?

See, if McCain wins so does the market.

What this proves, yet again, is the unpleasant truth that liberals and their supporters secretly yearn for America to fail, because only through such failure do they achieve power. We see this pattern again and again, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in every war this nation has ever fought and now, here, in the economy. If decorum would allow, every liberal in the nation would be dancing in the streets every time the Dow inched lower; each failed retirement or pension is one more vote for their Messiah. These unconscionable traitors who relish in the suffering of their countrymen should be rounded up and jailed. There's your proof, America. There's your proof. One liberal is a graver threat to our nation than a thousand Osama bin Ladens. Osama bin Laden can only harm our bodies, our buildings. But liberals, like a virulent plague, infest our very minds and psyches and turn us against ourselves, turn us into depraved, empty shells whose only capacity for joy is to spread depravity and emptiness everywhere. Celebrating dead soldiers? Secretly cheering at resurgent terrorists? Feeling giddy joy at swan diving markets? Nothing is beyond the pale for these monsters. These vile sub-human creatures who walk among us and enjoy the liberties and protections WE offer while siphoning everything we hold dear away. Leeches. They're leeches. Ticks. Blood-suckers. They must be stopped. A war is coming. A war is coming and we must choose. We all must choose. Mark my words, and mark them well.

yeah, good luck with that nonsense. It's not that "liberals", as you call them, are hoping for failure, it's that they saw it coming for a long time.

Enjoy the next four years under their rule. Try not to cry too much. Nobody likes a wussy faux conservative.

That's a good way of dodging the fact that it was Republicans that got us into the mess in Iraq and screwed up the economy in the first place (okay mainly Bush, but with lots of cheerleaders). If there's any joy to be had in things going sour, it's in the prospect that maybe Obama can fix the shiat instead of McCain making it worse.

To be completely fair, there comes a point where all I really can do is laugh at them, lest I cry over the repercussions.

Well done, sir. Well done.

I remember the month before W got elected in 2000, when the poll numbers showed an average-to-fair chance that he could win, and the mild fear the markets had back shown then.

It's little surprise to me that the market is reacting with sheer bedwetting terror at the thought of President Palin. I have to admit more than a little concern at the thought myself.

We picked it up from the bush supporters here in '04.

The socialist/muslim/terrorist sympathizer/that one lines just keep digging McCain's grave deeper and deeper. I really think the politics of fear have run their course after being worn out in the last election.

I can see why there would be a correlation, but the correlation itself does not prove anything. McCain's tracking numbers have also followed the declining temperatures here in MN over the last two weeks.

The democrats chose when to trigger the meltdown. They control congress, congress decided to let the first vote fail rather than hold it open so it'd pass. This is completely intentional. They're crashing the market to get better poll numbers for Obama. I didn't agree to fund his campaign, but I'm doing it.
