Heard mentality

Ill wait for a bottom. It not so much a buy or sell, its the message from the market.

There is no message, only automatic triggers set out of fear. It's up from 8K to 13K since Jan 2009 and that's a trend-line that should make people and investors feel good.

Republicans will get like 80% of the remaining vote."

Sorry Karl the polls were right. The oversampling theory does not hold water.

I happened to flip over to Fox News just to see their reaction right as Megyn Kelly set off on her long journey through the studio/office hallways to prove Rove wrong. It was pretty damn funny.

I watched a ton of fox news and happened to catch that, as well. It was hilarious. Daily Show is going to eat it up.

Same as when you lose a football game.<br />
The winners cheer and the losers dont say much.<br />
<br />
The USA has changed a lot. Its not the same country I grew up in.<br />
There are now more poeple riding in the wagon and less pulling it.<br />
I feel kind of embarrased that its come to this.<br />

Hm I think that's the point the right is missing. The demographics and makeup of those riding and pulling the wagon have changed, until the GOP realizes that they will continue to fall behind.

Disgraceful:



We don't want stuff, we want equality and we want opportunity for all not just the people who have parents they can borrow money from. We want to focus on healing this country from a decade of war. We want to show the olive branches before the daggers to the rest of the world. We want equal pay for equal work. We want to help veterans reach their full potential when they come back home. We want to regulate bad people and business doing bad things. We want to move this country along to reach its full potential instead of focusing on the good ol' days which were good for some but not for all. We want to find decent and good solutions for undocumented immigrants not prescribe self-deportation.


This formula of further insulting and degrading minorities isn't going to help white conservative America overcome its presidential electoral predicament.

The demographics dont matter. Its not about race.
Libs dont mind full wagons, but thats how bleeding hearts think.

As long as the GOP continues to proudly be the party of exclusion and serving primarily the interests of wealthy white males, they will continue to lose national elections. Until they strongly and publicly denounce and distance themselves from the far right fringe elements that poison their party with divisiveness and hatred, they will continue to lose national elections. There should be a strong condemnation for what happened last night on the campus of Ole Miss, (large group of students shouting racial epithets towards Pres. Obama and in general) but it will be ignored by the right.

What O'Reilly said is actually correct (except that the ones who voted for him want 'things and stuff'), even though his delivery wasn't the most welcoming. The days of the White establishment in the US are over. What he doesn't say is that shouldn't be considered a bad thing! The nation is evolving so embrace the evolution, learn to accept others and find common ground rather than find areas of difference.

We all want the same things. An opportunity to provide for our families, safe communities, quality schools and the freedom to practice whatever religion we choose. The rest is all BS for talking heads to discuss.
