#41 Because Ron Paul and Kucinich live for the constitution and actual freedom and this is detrimental to the ELITE. They would prefer to con people on the LEFT-RIGHT paradigm, not in their best interest if say Kucinich gets office.

Thanks for the lesson, Mr. Gibson.

Then why don't they vote for them? Why don't they vote for people like Ron Paul or Kucinich within the existing parties?

Mc Cain is no better #39, both parties are corrupt and controlled by ELITE/GLOBALISTS. Which is why more people are waking up this fact and wanting more 3rd party alternatives.

Maybe everybody is taking their money out to hide it for fear of Obama getting elected? When you have a marxist leading in the polls threatening to increase capital gains tax, don't be surprized when the capital starts to flee.

The funny thing is that if the Dow fell below 2,000 pts. nobody would care about it anymore. In the early seventies, during that nasty bear market, the Dow was so low that no one cared about investing in stocks. So maybe we should stop giving a damn about this busted market and focus on what's real out there.

I hope you're kidding #36, this whole crisis has been known by many for years and even a decade. Of course you won't find these people on the corporate controlled Network News.

HHAHAHA - I wrote that not only the dow would fall under 10,000 but that W would send us hurtling towards the great abyss. I win!

How about that. I called it out last week or the week before about the DOW dropping below 10,000. You're late. I wrote three months ago that it would be heading for the basement.

And it closed at -369.88. The market goes up, the market goes down. It's a long term investment, stay the course and don't listen to the tv clown show bufoons like Cramer telling people to get out. Get out and get creamed in taxes? Yeah good advice...

I haven't seen any eviction notices pasted on doors near me. maybe bloomberg saw something coming when he's the only mayor to be hiring more city marshal's to perform eviction services. and people want him four more years? a mayor who wants more marshals...hmmmm.......

Meh. Back in 2000 people were saying it might be 15 years before market averages made it back to their bubble year peaks. And Bush wasn't even President yet. As for the elite fleeing the country I can see going to a wilderness retreat in the Andes but London? I think the celebs and Russian billionaires will be fleeing there as well.

THEM? It's the BANKERS, the GLOBALISTS, THE ELITE. GLOBAL INVESTORS. We will become debt slaves (we already are) to Foreign powers in Europe and Asia. ARGENTINA was a first world country, they had a bigger middle class per capita then the US and had tremendous growth. Then they had another bankers designed financial crisis (like the US is having now) and now they are TOTAL third world. Its not completely hopeless, things can still be rectify, If people would just stand up and exercise their freedoms given by the constitution. Did you know that the ELITE are moving out of the US and Israel for years? Even Hollywood is moving out. Do you know where? DUBAI, Abu Dhabi CHINA LONDON Undisclosed locations in South America and other parts of Asia If staying in the US they are moving to places like Colorado and MONTANA.

Lots of info on the Federal Reserve scam as well as the GLOBALISTS/ELITE. I think this is better then the first one! And gives a great solution towards the end.

This is a good video educating about the LEFT-RIGHT paradigm and both being controlled by the same ELITE corporations/organizations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTahZE4q90U&eurl=http://www.jonesreport.com/article/10_08/01control_politics.html Very easy to understand and very obvious.

drewo, while your rant does have some good points, our form of democracy actually plays a lot into the two-party status quo, particularly at the presidential level.

'Problem is that the Mass Media, and most of the American public, cannot get beyond the concept of a 2 party state' Nor can it get beyond the concept of a monarchical presidency, although public outrage did cause Congress to stands up on its hind legs and show its teeth for an hour or two before it fell over again.

nycsniper - also Bob Barr is a candidate as well. Problem is that the Mass Media, and most of the American public, cannot get beyond the concept of a 2 party state. Anything that's not Left or Right, Red or Blue, Coke or Pepsi, seems to be too difficult a concept for the media and Joe and Joan Sixpack to comprehend. Why, some folks might even claim that having more than 2 political parties, and candidates, is downright un-American! And you will hear the usual blather about "fringe" candidates, "extreme" parties and "throwing away" your vote. And even though there will be more than 2 names on the Presidential ballot when you go to vote next month, only 2 candidates are selected to appear on the nationally televised debates. The debate organizers worry about "confusing" the voters with too many candidates - Americans apparently are not capable of weighing so many viewpoints at once. Keep it simple - and keep it the same: Coke and Pepsi. The media like it that way, it does not challenge their status and makes it easy to limit their coverage of the election - and not to do their jobs by covering each and every candidate fairly and evenly.

A "democrat" bill... based on the President's proposal (err, Secretary Paulson's proposal), negotiated by all parties, and passed by bipartisan majorities. Good luck with that talking point, ides.

"George W is still not done yet." Perhaps it escaped your notice but the bail-out was a democrat bill. FYI: the dems are the majority in both houses as well. No bill gets to the president without their support.
