I wanted to add moe clarity to my previous posting

The conservatives have been trying to privatize Social Security, but have been met with resistance.

Now to hear them rail against government intrusion, you’d think their against this” Oh Please don’t throw us into the briar patch, Please don’t interefere with the markets”

Knowing full well this is what they wanted the government, to do all along with the SS Trust fund.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%27er_Rabbit

Br'er Rabbit ("Brother Rabbit") is the main character of the stories, a likable trickster prone to getting into trouble who is often opposed by Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear. In one tale, Br'er Fox constructs a lump of tar and puts clothing on it. When Br'er Rabbit comes along he addresses the "tar baby" amiably, but receives no response. Br'er Rabbit becomes offended by what he perceives as Tar Baby's lack of manners, punches it, and becomes stuck. Now that Br'er Rabbit is stuck, Fox ponders how to dispose of him.
The helpless, but cunning, Br'er Rabbit pleads, "Please don't throw me in the briar patch," prompting Fox to do exactly that. As rabbits are at home in thickets, the resourceful Br'er Rabbit escapes. Using the phrases "please don't throw me in the briar patch" and "tar baby" to refer to the idea of "a problem that gets worse the more one struggles against it" became part of the wider culture of the United States in the mid-20th century.

The plan will work so good, then the Social Security trust fund will now be placed into the Stock market, because they'll say SEE it does work.

Redistribution of the pain. Put on the backs of the middle class.

McCain is trying to relive his glory years.

He is trying to re- incite the battle of Viet Nam, to reinvigorate the LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT crowd.
Ayer represents those who fought against a tyrannical Nixon, who drafted middle class and the poor to fight an unpopular war, while families of privilege avoided it, because Daddy had connections.

McCain will never admit, that despite the surge of forces in Vietnam, the TET offensive proved to America that our leaders had lied to us, WE THE PEOPLE, HAD TO BATTLE, McCains friends who loved war, but avoided the draft, McCain’s friends who benefited from the war machine.

Burglarizing a Watergate office, in order to control anti war protests, and then wonder why some fought against the War machine that was destroying the country.

Senile McCain, we fought that battle years ago. We have a new conflict and your AWOL

To Erica, the only way the DOW can go up a thousand points, is that people will have to reenter the market.

If you were one of those making 250k, what will be the tax liability, as Baracks plan calls for taxing those with incomes above 250K?

So I was only responding to your comment basically saying, after Obama wins the election, the market goes up 1000 points.

I know that would be great, but even I, don't know, what to invest in, and I’M not so sure that I want to jump into the market just because Barack wins.

It’ll take time, to see how the market responds.

I suspect you were dreaming of a great scenario.

The only way I could go back and check if there were any replys to comments I had made, was to have recommended, a posting.

Will there be a way for us to cleanup our Profile Page?

Some of my Blogs were inadverantly triplicated and I'd appreciate a way to clean up my mess.
