Um….we WILL wake up on January 21, 2009, and the sun will shine and the birds will be chirping in Prospect Park. That’s the whole point!!
You do realize that THOSE are the things that are truly important in life, and NOT money and real estate, RIGHT???!!
Muffett,
Obama’s proposals will prolong the Great Depression II for years. You’re foolish to be swayed by his good looks, pleasant sounding promises, and big bucks campaign.
McCain is a crazy old coot, but he at least he understands that tax increases and massive growth of government spending is the worst possible response to the pending economic disaster this country faces.
Obama’s socialist agenda will ruin our economy. Just watch. The market downturn this week will pale in comparison to the calamity that will occur when Obama and the Democratic congress start their mayhem.
I love how people on here take a relatively level-headed, rational argument that is far from out of bounds in American politics (business, not gov’t, creates jobs, and that the Republican base has historically disliked McCain intensely) and interprets it as “vitriol”. I don’t think McCain’s policies will get us out of this mess, and I’m voting for Obama – it will be my first vote for a Democratic candidate for President ever (one vote for a Republican, one write-in, and one third party so far!). That said, I don’t place blind faith in him as our political messiah either. Too many people around here seem to think that if he wins, we will wake up on January 21st, 2009 and the sun will shine, birds will chirp in the trees of Prospect Park, and peace and prosperity will break out everywhere.
Neither candidate admitted the obvious in Wednesday’s debate – the economy will get worse before it gets better. They are both fueling our culture’s desire for instant gratification and quick fixes and I don’t see a way out of that at all in the near future.
Phillies win!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, maybe I’m thick or just too tired, but can someone explain tybur6’s post?
And DIBS, I agree that we don’t feel the change in our daily lives now, but are you saying you don’t think we will?
Right now all I care about is that Lidge pitches another no run inning and the Phillies win it in about 4-5 minutes…despite the fact that the Dodgers may have originally been from Brooklyn and I wear a Brooklyn Dodgers cap
pierre…i for one am not of the mind that the What has won. He was predicting the complete and utter downfall of the real estate market and another great depression. Last time I checked we are quite a ways from that sort of thing.
Is there anyone posting here whose life has changed over the past few weeks? I think not.
Pierre–I think I said as much above.
tybur6–that’s the funniest post of the night.
Wasder my friend we see what you are saying and we’ve always maintained that the What was crazy, rude, abrasive, and hateful. On the otherhand though we have to give credit when its due the guy has been spot on with his predictions and warnings. We went thru in the archives section and a lot of the cut and pastes he posted were sadly quite accurate. We are not seeking to elevate his status to that of an economic genius or anything but the fact remains that RE is in a mess, the economy sucks and will continue this trend for a while.
What if you are reading this please understand that we are saying you were right and won; now please try to be humble and civil.
DIBS “ferrous testes” is an angry loser and his vitriol is pure rubbish and nonsence.
