    well, I don't necessarily consider you the normal republican around here...

    (I mean that in a positive way) - lol

    No problem; after this election, I might not consider myself a Republican at all. We'll see.

    Affordable health care doesn't have anything to do with the stock market. UN-affordable health care does.

  • down another 62pts. Seems like the socialistic utopia of Europe is driving down our ever increasingly socialistic utopia here in the USA. This can't be good for Barry's campaign. No voter likes to open that statement and see it bleeding value.

    President Obama will be re-elected because Ron Paul's supporters, without whom Romney cannot win, know that the reasons behind this lie far beyond who is presently occupying the White House.

    Additional QE is imminent. Who presently occupies the White House is irrelevant.

    Dude, Ive never paid more in taxes, nor has any other American than the last few years. If you don't understand that you don't shop, go anywhere, or have an income over 50K.

    Example of the higher taxes you and I have been paying because of Barack.

    Well not completely. If the Republicans take charge again they will have the 99 percent in chains for the rest of their lives...but what they will do is to run huge deficts so the wealthy don't pay taxes and raise taxes on the 99%

    Taxing corporations and individuals can't eliminate the debt and deficit problems that we have. Until Washington is willing to cut spending drastically, it really makes no difference which party controls any aspect of our government.

    Well we certainly cannot eliminate the defict issues by lowering taxes even if we do reduce spending. Since Reagan the Democrats have reduced deficts and the Republicians have increased deficts yet people who say they care about the size of deficts keep voting for Republicians. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity...

    Deficit spending is the core reason for our debt. You have to spend money to waste money. You can say what you want about taxes, but the reason we have a debt is because we are spending money. Why don't we get our hemorrhaging budget under control, and then we can talk about ways to reduce the debt?

  • bump for the worst month in 2 years... this can't be good for Barry.

    "U.S. stocks finished in the red Thursday, ending a wretched month on a weak note.
    "May is always a difficult month for the market, and this month has lived up to that reputation," said Fred Dickson, chief market strategist at D.A. Davidson, noting that the market has suffered declines in May for three out of the last four years.
    This month's weakness was by sparked escalating concerns about the eurozone debt crisis, with Spain and Greece keeping contagion worries front and center, as well as fears about a slowing U.S. economy. CNNMoney's Fear & Greed Index, which measures investor sentiment, has remained firmly in "extreme fear" territory for more than two weeks."
