The coming financial crisis

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Oh, you knew too?  So, I take it you completely avoided the market crash?

Shut it, dummy.

this is "going out on top"

This guy was a genius.  He knew that giving 125% subprime loans would fail

How much money did you make on it?   

Legalize IT

I didn't even know to the extent it was going on or I would have been all in

Ya gotta our government..It's consistant and teflon.  And we want THIS for the rest of the world

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate this administration?

Shocker Democrats, primarily, opposed further regulation that would have helped prevent this type of crisis.

I heard an Obama commericial this morning again trying to link McCain and "deregulation" with the current economic issues.  It's patently false, and considering he doesn't really NEED to lie to win, it's low also.

[Cerevant]

Let us know when you have something positive to say about McCain.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Why bother?  No one here wants to hear that.  The FACT is that Democrats had just as much, if not more, to do with creating the sub-prime market meltdown, and they are still able to use the current anti-Republican vibe in the country to blame Capitalism.

It's idiotic and is going on largely unchecked.

I think Cerevant is saying that instead of endorsing McCain, you are slamming Obama/Dems.  Which is funny, because every article FF posts about the Dems in a negative light, it's countered with "Well, McCain did this or said that."

Frankly, I'm surprised FF keeps trying, because I've given up.

edit: Cervant, I wasn't singling you out at all.  In fact, you probably give the best Democratic view in here, even though you do sometimes hit the rhetoric a little hard.

I would have given up by now if I were still playing Fatal Combat.

That mentality comes from answering logically and objectively attack after attack for months...you can't help but get frustrated.

You know, I'm sure there are some strong, legitimate negatives about Obama.  As I'm sure there are some strong, legitimate positives about McCain.  The problem is that you can't find any of it in all the noise of "Muslim"-"Bush-lover"-"Terrorist"-"Out of touch"-"Socialist".

I know someone who lives in Pennsyltucky and is a fairly strong social conservative.  I received the "Obama won't pledge the flag" e-mail from this person.  At one point she said that she would like to sit down and take an objective look at where they stand on the issues - not just what they say, but their past records as well - so she could make up her mind.  I couldn't think of a single place where she could get that information.  Not a single place where you could say - yes, this is objective.  Pathetic.

Strongest negative:

Supports over-interpretation of the Constitution

Oh, gimme a break.  There is no such thing as objectivity. 

It's called critical thinking.  Learn it, use it in every real life application from cooking dinner to evaluating politicians.  For farg sake, people need to think for themselves, not demand that shtein be handed to them on a silver platter.
