QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 13, 2008 -> 04:19 PM) There are alternative ideas that could be done also. For example...just actually reward people for showing up, even if they don't cast a vote for the top office. Take an extra $20 out of everyone's taxes once every 4 years. Rebate that to the person if they show up and vote. Wouldn't you make sure you showed up if there was something else in it for you? no way. if someone needs to be bribed to vote they need to just stay at home.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 06:46 PM) They are almost forced to say that. They know that the republicans are saying that he is a muslim to scare people. When they mention he is a muslim, it's usually followed by "he knows a terrorist". Terrorist and muslim are often used by the republican party in the same sentence or same speach. That and he's not muslim. So it's a lie. oh i see, it's ok to imply all Muslims are terrorists because the eeevvilll republicans MAKE them do it. of course, silly me well this is enough for me in the dem thread i will leave you all to your discussions.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 04:57 PM) I think its interesting that McCain seems to think that Arab and good family man/citizen are mutually exclusive. uhhh, the Democrats have been saying that claims that Obama is a Muslim is a smear. The Democrats have repeated over and over that Obama is not Muslim, as if all Muslims are terrorists. change the religion here and you tell me how it sounds: "These smears on Obama are false, Obama is not a Muslim" "These smears on Obama are false, Obama is not a Jew" The Democrats seem to think Muslim and good person are mutually exclusive.

Barack was never an ACORN community organizer. ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee. ACORN was not part of Project Vote, the successful voter registration drive Barack ran in 1992

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 02:08 PM) they fear that if Franken wins then every liberal Hollywood type is going to say 'hey I can run for office too...' that would be hilarious.

I don't know if this is hilarious or I should be crying http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_national_de...4c0ui1lLBADW7oF

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) He's out giving interviews. And just how did the media go after her 17 year old daughter, they reported on the press release the McCain campaign put out? For weeks they had 24-7 coverage, showing her on TV, trying to shame her into oblivion. The media WAS going to run with the daily Kos rumors, so the McCain camp came out and made clear what happened. The media thought this could be a knock out punch for their campaign, show that the Palin's have bad kids. It failed though, everyone knew trashing someones kid who got pregnant was a bogus tactic.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 07:39 PM) Actually you're slightly off on that...the market plummeted when the bailout got shot down the first time...it just also plummeted when it passed. it rebounded after the bailout failure. after it passed it's been all down hill. screw it just toss 20 trillion into bankers pockets. done and done. market secure. but really, the bailout sucked. if it works i'll be happy, i sure don't like this disaster.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) You didnt know Ayers was an economic terrorist?... oh wait... McCain and Palin's buddy was the economic terrorist. They aren't buddies with Barney Frank or Chuck Schumer, the engineers of this disaster.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 07:34 PM) IIRC the government hasn't cut anybody any checks, and won't do so for another few weeks. I have no idea if they got the checks yet, or when they will. If anyone has a link that would be helpful.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 05:22 PM) It depends on whether or not you have a plan to do anything during the time its closed. I don't really know what they could do. Another bailout? The first didn't work and neither will part II. The market actually went up when the bailout got shot down.

I don't think Chicago home prices are near the bottom yet. I think there is still going to be some more drops.

McCain is STILL on the Bill Ayers thing. No one cares about Bill Ayers when the stock market is completely tanking. If there wasn't a financial disaster going on, yea go after Obama's buddy Bill Ayers. McCain needs to address this financial madness.

QUOTE (sox4lifeinPA @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 09:28 AM) Dear Obama supporters, stop making it a pain in the ass for me to vote for your candidate. haha Obama does have the most annoying supporters of all time.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 06:27 PM) Her husband is, and considering Michelle Obama was dragged through the mud in February I'd say Todd Palin has gotten a pretty free pass. But oh yes, the media is OUT TO GET MCCAIN, they built up his image for 10 years just to tear it down in some cruel trick! edit: oh, and here's your correction, it also ran on the second page of the paper: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09...s-not-a-member/ Not a cruel trick, of course they will attack McCain and Palin. They are basically part of the Obama campaign. If McCain thought the media would continue to give him good press, running against Obama, he was totally wrong. The media went after Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter, so I don't think they would consider going after anyone opposite a Democrat to be out of bounds.

Closing the markets could very well cause more panic. People would take it as a sign that things are completely out of control. The day the market re-opened I would expect to see a lot of selling.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 03:42 PM) Also, trend wise, this type of crash out typically means a good time to buy real estate. real estate prices will continue to drop if banks are not giving out loans. but it will be a cash buyers bonanza. huge profits could be made
