Economy trumps war for voters

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Despite the focus on Iraq and foreign policy in the 2008 White House race, Bill Schneider reports that concerns about the economy have edged out the Iraq war as the top concern of voters. In other words, it's not the war, stupid. Watch Schneider's report.

Oh yeah the price of Gas will effect votes far more than how many killed in Iraq.

Superfreak, get on here and tell us about all the good news in the economy that people are just too stupid to see.

And don't IA Damo, for correctly pointing out that the Bush economy has been a major concern for americans, for years. That the middle class is feeling squeezed.

 

[Topspin]

the market as usual will do better with the next dem president
also better trade aggreements will bring up the middle class wage earners pay

Was there another big blow between you and SF and I missed it? I hardly read any threads yesterday at all. I feel very out of the loop.

I have always mantained that increasing poverty levels, and higher and higher levels of financial and job insecurity in the middle class will keep their noses out of the military industrial complex's business. Which is considered none of the people's business anyway. That's the whole point.

All politics is local, or is that not being taught any longer?

Could it not be a Kondratiev Cycle in operation?

The market will pretty much suck no matter who is the next president.
the experts last night said for avg people not to play the market. The day traders would do ok, but many regular players would be burned.
the word form the economic "experts" was Grim for the outlook.


Butt then I know you know better than those on Wall Street, so who am I to say....

Yep People are very limited in vision no matter how good their eyesight.
and local boys are dying in Iraq....

 

[Litmus]

and local boys are dying in Iraq....

USC lays the ultimate smackdown on JPP upstart, diuretic.

This is why we keep USC around.

 

[uscitizen]

Ultimate smackdown ?

Nope, just ponting out that as more local boys die this becomes more of a local political issue.

No, I seriously do not understand why that moron continues to address posts to me. I have him on ignore and he knows that, which means I cannot see his posts unless someone quotes him.

But he has proven yet again that he is going to attempt to put arguments in my mouth that I have not made. If he had an ounce of honesty in him he would admit that on numerous posts on numerous threads I have been stating what is wrong with the economy right now and that I think the markets are teetering on the edge of a major technical break.

But given his complete ignorance and his inability to be honest, I doubt he will ever admit to any such thing. Not that I care, because it has been quite peaceful with that fucking retard on ignore.

Yep SF finally realizes that the economy is in for a bad ride....

Please, a good year ago on this site, SF, Tiana, and I had a long conversation about the housing bubble.

This has been a regular theme, he consistently gives good advice on how to avoid the worst of it. I don't believe I have ever heard him pump up the economy unrealistically. That is a Topper thing.

That selective memory 101 class seems to have worked well for you.

 

[uscitizen]

Damo it is not only the housing bubble.

 

[Damocles]

Damo it is not only the housing bubble.

Hence I stated, "I have ever heard him pump up the economy unrealistically". I note that you either didn't comprehend this, or refused to allow it into your understanding, because you have attempted to set false limits on what I stated and pretend that I only addressed one thing.

 

[Topspin]

danold the digit worker - I never pump the economy to excess
USmoron, for 6 qtrs you've been wrong with your recession call. And so you will be next qtr.
Six quarters in to your doom and gloom not only are we not negative we are at 4%

 

[uscitizen]

And 3.7 % of that was due to the weak dollar export boom.

I have seen the warnings building up for a long time.
Now even the experts are talking inflation, trade defecit complications, falling dollar, debt(national and personal), etc
It just took them a bit longer than I to wake up.
