Today is the nail in the coffin for the pukes.
The market is set to do something fearsome today- plummet to the depths. The shreds of the myth that the economy will be OK that the fucking bushco idiots have clung to for months and months, are going to dissolve into panic, and that large hunk of the populace that's still sleepwalking through America is going to get a rude wake up call.

The repukes are done. The trust gap on the economy is enormous. It's about to become unbridgable for the rethug candidates.

All this also strongly favors Hillary. People associate a good economy with the nineties and Bill. People are creatures of habit and they won't be wanting to take chances this year. The CW is that the repukes are the Daddy party and the dems are the mommy party. People are about to come running to Mommy.

The repukes are screwed.

1. I disagree with you comment about Hillery.
She represents the status quo. We can do better than the front runners.

Hillary won't be part of it. It will however resonate with the public on who best gets their economic message across to the public. Also, the market will tumble big time, futures down now over 550 points but the fundamentals are still OK and it will probably be back up before the November elections. The Clinton's were a good-feel economy but that was some time ago and there has been so much bad depressing stuff since but kit is whoever gets a good economic plan out there that the people like that is going to get their attention.

2. Yes.....
... you are correct. When it comes right down to it, the economy isn't the issue, it's the only issue.

The next few months are going to be brutal, and it could be the next few years. There is no way for the spin machine to blame this on Democrats, and the Republicans with their "supply side" bullshit are going to pay.

3. And you can tell by looking at them, they KNOW they're screwed.
Remember the creepy self-confidence of Repubs before the 2004 election? There is none of that now.

5. Absolutely. That creepy self-confidence has evaporated
like a splash of water on a hot griddle. The articles being written in the conservative corridors of NR and other places are uniformly pessimistic.

4. See what happens when you let the markets go free.
The "free market" or neoliberal policies of Reagan, and the bushes managed to destroy the largest consumer market in the world. Just imagine what else they can destroy when they let greed and corruption rule the world.
