Yikes, any other conservatives scared out there?.... (Page 3)

Lies. 

I read on a conservative blog that Obama planned all along for the fiscal cliff to hit.  That's his budget plan.

It has to be true because of where I read it.

Nope...

I read that on some not so conservative sites as well. It triggers an automatic Tax hike, so he gets what the Rep's are so adamant about not giving him, just by doing nothing. 

He also gets what he promised not to do... tax hike on everyone. He also get huge cuts to programs he said he was not going to cut. That does not solve his problem of giving more free stuff to everyone and having the rich pay for it.

I thought his concession speech was pretty good. McCain's last time I thought was much better but this was a different race and a different place for the country. I do think he could have come out sooner, just to allow more people to see him give his speech. Same thing with President Obama's speech - I had to go to bed before I could hear him.

He's no up for re-election anymore, so why does he care if he does what he said he wouldn't?

You already can't build a coal plant in this country. The EPA has already issued regs on limiting CO2. Now that the election is over, those will certainly go into effect. But the regs were worked on the last couple of years since courts ruled the EPA can limit CO2. So they wrote the regs to say ANY new plant will have to emit half the CO2 they do now... so even if I permitted a plant last year, when it came on line this year, and the EPA regs go into effect, it had to meet th new regs. There are no coal plants permitted right now. You have to have carbon capture equipment to meet the regs and that does not really exist right now. That magic number of "half" is still enough for natural gas plants... so you can build those if you want... but there is no telling if those too will be regulated lower in the future.

But have no fear... China adds a 300MW plant every week, so coal workers will still have a job and the export sector will profit.

That's because the sun is a socialist, giving away free light and energy to lazy planets that just hang out in orbit around it, contributing nothing to the fusion, but just taking. 

Actually the planets are being held captive by the sun and are therefore surfs to its will, absorbing it's toxic emissions and protecting it from rogue asteroids.

I"m trying to figure out why anyone is happy with this.....or would be unable to sleep they were so happy....or would be celebrating anything about this.  I woke up this morning and the political climate/makeup in this country is virtually unchanged....which means more of the same.  Who's happy about that? 

I have to say that none of it bothers me much, it is what it is.....but geez.....happy over more of the same?  I'm not tracking that very well.

I'm unelectable. I inhaled. And stuff

Plus I like my current gig. You don't ever see Obama posting here during the work day, do you?

some big hysteria going on - just try to keep some of the passion alive for politics - dont be a Q4YR voter. If it makes you feel better you can blame/credit me as an Ohio voter

Prez-D

Sen-D

Rep-R

Jeremy Siegel discusses a similar point:

“And historically, the initial reaction of the market to a Republican presidential victory confirms this thesis. During the last 120 years, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.7% on the day following a Republican victory in the presidential elections while it has fallen 0.5% the day after a Democrat captured the White House[.]  However, a closer look tells a far different story. Over that same 120 year period, the average annual stock market return has totaled only 8.25% under Republican rule, while it has returned 10.85% with Democrats in power.”

The gun market has been up the entire Obama presidency.  Seriously.  This is nothing new.

Oh I know. Ruger is up 600% over 4 years ago. S&W like 260%.  But I have been watching prices on a popular gun site that changes them every 20 mins.  This AM they started creeping up and up and up.  And the stock is depleting faster than I've ever seen it.

I expected it.  Just amazing to see it happen in real time. And of course I had to help stimulate the economy by adding a few sales

Which I really can't understand.  Individuals keep claiming "Obama is coming for our guns" and he has done absolutel NOTHING to show that he is.  Talk about paranoia. (And I don't mean you)

This happens every time a Democrat is elected president.  You are right he has done nothing in his first term to make anyone worry. 

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you.
