Question: Joel Send a noteboard - 30/08/2012 11:04:35 PM
It's typical of Joel's scattershot accusations and rambling, at times incomprehensible, style of writing. The dot-com bubble burst in 2000 before the election.

If your stocks had been skyrocketing for a decade and you knew the candidate you were backing would both win the upcoming election and wreck the economy when he did, what would you do? Leave your money where it was and watch it go up in flames, or take your profits and put them somewhere safer?

On that note, another question you need not answer, since it is private: How HAVE your stocks done since January '09 (when the Dow was 5000 points lower.)

You're not properly using a "Re:" tag if you are changing the subject line. *NM* - 28/08/2012 12:42:13 AM 238 Views
It is convenient though, and concise. - 28/08/2012 02:10:52 AM 638 Views
I had to do it to fit the 100 character limit *NM* - 28/08/2012 03:58:32 AM 301 Views
Unless you're Roh. *NM* - 28/08/2012 09:56:01 PM 283 Views
God already decided the GOP convention should be cut short. No arguing with deities. *NM* - 28/08/2012 12:03:30 AM 337 Views
Would you still say that if Obama were struck by lightning? *NM* - 28/08/2012 12:42:40 AM 218 Views
Assuming he survived, I'd probably make the same joke, yes. - 28/08/2012 01:28:44 AM 506 Views
No, no, they "prayed away the spray." - 28/08/2012 02:09:02 AM 514 Views

Well, yeah; most of us are, but which one...? - 29/08/2012 11:24:09 PM 533 Views
What else do we need to know? Obama was a disaster for 4 years, everything got worse..... - 28/08/2012 04:57:21 AM 528 Views
You are right. The Green Party is clearly the sensible choice. *NM* - 28/08/2012 08:10:26 PM 290 Views
Who??? *NM* - 29/08/2012 05:02:27 AM 306 Views

The incumbent administration being deemed a 4-year disaster didn't help Kerry defeat Bush. *NM* - 28/08/2012 09:28:03 PM 305 Views
But that was all in foreign policy. The economy was doing pretty well back then. - 29/08/2012 02:04:13 AM 564 Views

You're actually blaming Bush for 9/11 now? - 30/08/2012 04:22:05 AM 518 Views
It is the Richard Clarke criticism. - 30/08/2012 01:08:39 PM 579 Views

Ideally, I'm trying to just get as many people as possible to not vote Obama. - 29/08/2012 02:04:57 AM 437 Views
Conventions won't do that. - 29/08/2012 07:56:22 PM 486 Views
See, you're not taking it far enough. - 03/09/2012 04:03:40 AM 550 Views
