Keep wondering. The best way to educate yourself is to keep looking for the answer. Keep an open mind, grasshopper and don't believe a word SP4 says. Good luck to you on your journey to enlightenment.

Oh believe me, I'm enlightened alright. It was just a 'little tongue in cheek' remark! And it will fall on deaf ears anyway.

Just deaf ears? How about deaf and dumb. Dumb as in stupid, not dumb as in speechless.

??? Let's keep it simple, stupid. We already have one man in the White House who can confound the experts, so we certainly don't need any more beaurocrats, appointed or elected, mucking up the situation.

The situation in Warshington is so FUBARed that there is only one way it can go. I sincerely doubt that it can get worse.

'SP4: ...abused cocaine, never served, little experience...'

There SP goes again, bragging about his dysfunctionality. What a parasite, still living at home, freeloading off his momma.

Employers Cut Most Workers Since 2003Apr 4th, 2008 - 20:48:25

April 4 (Bloomberg) -- Employers in the U.S. cut the most workers in five years last month, signaling that the economic contraction is deepening and that the Federal Reserve will continue to lower interest rates.

Payrolls shrank by 80,000, more than forecast and the third monthly decline, the Labor Department said today in Washington. The jobless rate rose to 5.1 percent, the highest level since September 2005, from 4.8 percent.

``This is the final blow,'' said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd. in New York. ``It's clear the U.S. economy is in a recession. That's going to shake the confidence of investors and companies across the world and cause people to curtail spending in other countries.''

Traders raised bets the Fed will cut its benchmark rate half a point this month after central bankers already enacted the deepest reductions in borrowing costs in two decades last quarter. Officials signaled increasing concern about the economy and credit markets this week, with Chairman Ben S. Bernanke saying for the first time the U.S. may enter a recession.

SP4: The Fun is overApr 4th, 2008 - 21:09:05

we had record employment, record tax receipts, low inflation and historic household wealth for 5 years. It's over now, at least for a while.

So, what do the dems have in mind?

Me, I'm voting for Obama! He's an ex-drug user (admitted it) never served, has little experience....excuse me, wasn't that what some of you objected to about Bush?

SP4: Good News Though!Apr 4th, 2008 - 21:13:37

One of Obama's advisors is pimping the public on a 16 month pull out from Iraq, with a residual force of 60,000 to 80,000 troops, indefinitely.

Didn't Bush try this going in???? Can some libnazi tell me if he, or she, thinks this is 'pulling out'?

Boy! Glad we're getting a change soon!

I cannot believe, for 1 second, that Sp4 has a working brain. One minute he's a Bush buddy and the next he's a Bush basher. What's this? 'Boy! Glad we're getting a change soon!' Even though I have little tolerance for his outlandish, childish views, I would have a modicum of respect for him if he was consistant. As things stand now, I have more respect for the fecal matter that I flush down the toilet.

SP4 just dotes on posts like yours - he loves controversy and getting everyone riled up. If he didn't have this site, he would probably be sitting on a park bench somewhere dribbling down his shirt. He needs this fix to keep his day going. Everyone just feeds into it. Believe me, I know him.

...you don't. These retorts, to posts I've never written, are hilarious!
What a weak minded bunch, those who post in my name. How much bigger of a bitch can you be, than to not have your own handle? Honestly, how insecure can people get, over an opinion from someone they've never met???

My favorite though, are the libnazis with a limit-switch in their ass that sets them off as some kind of Psychiatric expert, the moment they disagree with someone, tossing terms around they could never define, accusing people they've never met of narcotics abuse. (while excusing it for the public official of their choice!) This defines the libnazi church i.e. the Inquisition of the infidels.

I never said polls were libnazi lies, I only accused libnazis of lying. You can make a poll say anything you want, you cannot make people vote the way you wish for them to vote.

Again, I'm voting for Obama: he abused drugs, has no experience and never served. Heck, this is just like the last two Presidents we had!

Maybe I'll vote for Judah Ben-Hur....?
