Give me some credit Red, I have read both sides. A few of the sites I have used were used because they were easy to find and had the material condensed into one place. It is difficult to condense many differnt news articles and publications into one post. Some of the more conservative sites do it for me, so I use them. My views on the economics of tax cuts vs. new federal spending has been shaped from Alan Greenspan to the Wall St. Journal to reading Gores spending plan on his web site.

My problem with some is that they attack the source and completely ignore the message. I'd much rather debate the issues then play mind games of who has the most credible source.

My fear of Al Gore being president is based on a number of items. Here's one.
If he is elected the chances are he will be there for eight years. The incumbent normally has the advantage. Right now and for the next election the Republicans are in control of congress. Who's to say what will happen in the next eight years, the congress could go to the Democrats. Then Gore passes all of his entitlement programs, the economy will tank at some time, then the next deep recession.

I've always respected the intelligence of the members on this site, but I would have to say I do much less now after this post.

I've never read such politically-motivated, propogandist, ignorant material as this in quite awhile...


P.S. - this is not to absolve myself from blame, just to point out that I think alot of you are running your mouths off about topics you don't know sh1t about...

Well Dooling37, don't just sit there criticizing, educate us. What did you disagree with, where and what points are ignorant?

One thing, this was a political thread, politically-motivated was to be expected.

if bush is elected, assuming there is a republican congress again which is supposedly what it looks to be, it'll be all republican, which will make the stock market go down. Investors dont want changes in the market causing instability and well a republican pres wouldn't veto like cliton has been ,so there would be changes happening. That and bush is an idiot.

Regardless you wins the market will continue to fluctuate.

I would consider voting for Bush Lite, but there are going to be a lot of Supreme Court spots to fill during the next four years, and I really don't want the person doing the recommending to be such an ultra-conservatist.

It's Greenspan who can control the fate of the stock market. I doubt the stock market will be affected at all if Bush or Gore wins.
