…and votes his conscience…

If his votes reflect his conscience, he is where he belongs now.

Specter actually started out as a Democrat

Can us Dems have him back? He’s his own man, speaks his mind, and votes his conscience. Wouldn’t that make 60? Toss in Bunning and you get 61.

He’ll always be ‘Magic Bullet’ to me, but Marcy will miss her Haggis should he head home, I imagine….

We may still have a bout of inflation coming out of this depression-avoidance plan. As far as decoupling goes, it ain’t happening: the US is the world’s largest consumer economy. You can’t decouple from it. Same for commodities.

As the old saw goes, the US economy sneezes, _______ gets pneumonia. The blank has been variously filled with Mexico, Latin America (generally), Europe, and Asia. Africa seems to have a constant case of pneumonia, so I don’t know what happens to them when our economy sneezes.

Actually, perris, I think it’s Comedian Rush Limbaugh who is insisting on being the party’s face. But the Republics are allowing him to do it.

It’s another example of Republics wanting to fall in line. They don’t care if it’s a reasonable place to fall in line, just so they can fall in line. Rush said, “The line forms here.” They said, “Okay, Rush.”

Here by the way is link which analyzes Schiff predictions:

http://globaleconomicanalysis......wrong.html

They were:

US Equity Markets Will Crash.
US Dollar Will Go To Zero (Hyperinflation).
Decoupling (The rest of the world would be immune to a US slowdown.
Buy foreign equities and commodities and hold them with no exit strategy.

He only got the first one right and again as many of us did here but as the other points indicate he blew the others.

Schiff is a goof but he predicted, as many of us did here, the economic downturn. His further predictions are fairly stupid, and as you point out self-serving. Foreign markets are tanking faster than ours and the dollar is a much safer haven than other currencies for essentially the same reason.

Limpballs less ”popular” than Bush. *check*

CNN financial advice: ill-advised. *check*

Spector’s polling tanking. OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!

And here’s hoping those pathetic polling numbers keep Spector voting for Obama’s policies from here on down the drain Spector so richly deserves!
