Do you think Obama will be killed if he becomes president?

Posted by bruni on October 24, 2008

Just as it happened to JFK. Not talking about conspiracy and weird stuff, (could be), but talking about some mad person who does not really like changes, specially if we talk about wars and international policy.
Anything is possible, but something like that would set us back 50 years in this country.

It would be the end of America
no matter who gets elected someone will plot to kill him.

i highly doubt obama has any more chance of being killed than any other president.

I think Bernanke, Paulsen, and others should be investigated

Posted by bruni on October 15, 2008

For gross negligence, or fraud, or both.

Until quite recently both were yammering about how the economy was fine, there was no real crisis, etc.

Now, suddenly Bernanke fesses up to congress that unless the bailout passes, things are going to get very bad, and the US faces a dramatic crises.

If they didn’t see this coming, given their responsibilities and position, I think this is negligent on their part.

But I believe it’s more likely that they knew, and pretended otherwise. Whatever their excuse, that’s fraud, and they should be held responsible.

Time is Running Out (email from Ron Paul)

Dear Friends,

Whenever a Great Bipartisan Consensus is announced, and a compliant media assures everyone that the wondrous actions of our wise leaders are being taken for our own good, you can know with absolute certainty that disaster is about to strike.

The events of the past week are no exception.

The bailout package that is about to be rammed down Congress’ throat is not just economically foolish. It is downright sinister. It makes a mockery of our Constitution, which our leaders should never again bother pretending is still in effect. It promises the American people a never-ending nightmare of ever-greater debt liabilities they will have to shoulder. Two weeks ago, financial analyst Jim Rogers said the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made America more communist than China! "This is welfare for the rich," he said. "This is socialism for the rich. It’s bailing out the financiers, the banks, the Wall Streeters."

Let’s Apply Some Logic

Posted by bruni on October 06, 2008

Currently, my television is repeatedly sending me the message that "we must act quickly" on the bailout package to avoid "dire consequences."

If it is true that we have come to a "point of no return" where swift action is required immediately, why didn’t these very smart people who are now FULLY AWARE of the crisis facing America notice it sooner and make the general public aware of the impending crisis?

Logic would indicate to me that this plan is being rushed through as quickly as possible in order to avoid Congress making changes to the plan.

Official U.S. Economy as a Presidential campaign issue thread

Posted by bruni on September 30, 2008

While reading threads based upon the political theatre that is the U.S. presidential election on this forum, I keep stumbling upon posts that mention ‘how bad’ the economy is, and this thread is meant to educate ME and perhaps others on the subject of what our trillion dollar debt actually means, and what can the candidates do to fix it.
Stop beating around the bush in other threads, I want to know the situation, and both sides’ solutions.
Well right off the bat we all know that trickle down economics does not work.

Ron Paul Plans ‘Special Announcement’

Posted by bruni on September 28, 2008

Rep. Ron Paul, the former Republican presidential candidate who excited a multitude of young voters during the primaries, announced a “major” news conference in Washington Wednesday.

With a range of third-party candidates at his side – including the Libertarian Party’s Bob Barr, independent candidate Ralph Nader, the Constitution Party’s Chuck Baldwin and the Green Party’s Cynthia McKinney – it’s unlikely that Paul will pick just one to support. But his spokesman said to expect “something of an endorsement,” with “a real effect on this fall’s election.”

It’s funny how both presidential candidates are eroding their greatest strengths

Posted by bruni on August 26, 2008

McCain - Known for being a straight-talker Maverick that speaks his mind while enjoying a buddy-buddy relationship with the press, he’s endlessly lied about Obama, changed his supposedly principled positions to fit the political mainstream, and cut himself off from the national press in an attempt to better control his image.

Obama - Supposedly a "different kind of politician" campaigning mostly on his personal excellence and outsider/change status, he’s compromised and otherwise made traditional political moves, even when they’re bad policies.
