heh, hold up guys, theres still a backlog of leftie conspiracies that have yet to come true, we dont need to keep adding more to the pile.
One that comes to mind is the "VOTE OR DIE" fear campaign that swept college campuses last fall, telling all the students they will be drafted if Bush gets elected.
Oh and something about $110 barrels of gas by this time. Just checked and it appears to be slipping under $48 today.
Economy in shambles, oh wait, wages up and better than expected jobs numbers, Fed will soon raise rates again (A sign of economic recovery)
Dollar collapsing? well its down historically, but its helping us in the short term. but no where near "Collapsing"
Keep those creative juices flowing guys, I always get a good laugh every time I stop by. lol
looks like you got our leftist conspiracies mixed up.
1) vote or die was a puff daddy thing to get people out to vote.
there were people saying that people would be drafted if bush was elected, but not part of the vote or die campaign.
2) $110 was stated by some financial analysts as a possible price spike in the event of a major event in the next 5-10 years. leftist conspiracy? heheh
3) dollar is still weak, but i agree not going to collapse outside of a major event.
it's helped the economy in certain areas, but you dont get anything for free, inflation has picked up as well...even with a weak dollar our trade deficits are still at or near record levels. so who's to tell whether it's a been a boon for us or a drag?'
warren buffett's been short the dollar, and he says he will continue to be.
let's see, which leftist conspriacy theories were right?
1) there were crazy lefties saying that bush had already planned to go to war with iraq
turned out to be true
2) there were crazy lefties saying that no wmd's would be found in iraq.
turned out to be true
3) there were crazy lefties saying that halliburton would get a nice chunk of money to rebuild iraq and probably lose track of and mismanage it.
turned out to be true.
