So CNBC is going crazy over the prospects of a Dem takeover
in the House and Senate....

All their tax cuts are up suddenly in jeoprady...

What will they do when the Minimum Wage is raised...

OMG, the stack market will tumble...

Mergers will screech to a halt

What will we do...

What will we do...

Perhaps we will get a little sanity back in the markets...

After all, it is pretty much a given that Dem's are better at fixing the economic messes concocted by inept republicans...

They are so smug....
They are celebrating the DOW going through a record mark that was established 5.5 years ago...

They think this is a miracle of republican economic policy...

Reality shows that the DOW, when adjusted for inflation, is still 1200 point below where a real record would be set...

I mean, my god, those hard working CEO's are just have to settle for the "off the rack Ferrari instead of the custom made $4 million models..." (Kudo's to Back in Black on the Daily Show last night...)

7. Notice the market's going to new records with the promise of
a Dem controlled House and/or Senate ...

Took Bush 5.5 years to get this far ... and the Fed is saying that the economy is slowing ...

I still have it saved when freepturdia was screaming about how "every time Gore says count the votes, the stock market crashes. Every time Bush gets a victory, the stock market soars!" - They were very quiet about that after the market started falling after 12/12/2000 ... except for the occasional "It's Clinton's recession!" - that they hyped was coming ...

11. Yep they're cooking on all burners. Every night Kudlow carries on as
if the Democrats are the worst threat America has ever had. I think he's back on his Coke. The rest of them have been insane since the Bushies came in.

12. They are crazed.... Jumping around all excited about
DOW 12000....

If they had been around during the depression, they would have been jumping all over the place about DOW 350 and saying the economy is great....
