• Wow. Looks like we will see the crackup boom coming to a theater near you. The Fed simply will not stop printing money.

• Did we really expect anything substantively different from McCain or any of the other major candidates?

  With the heroic exception of Ron Paul, all of the presidential candidates are intellectual, political, and ethical trash.

• It's just the Wiemar Republic in slow motion. Within the next decade at the very most we will probably have hyperinflation, and then the election of a dictator (I mean one worse than Bush). Heil Clinton!

• I don't think McCain has a chance, not that his fiscal or monetary policies would be significantly different than Hillary or Obama. Any of them will continue printing money while decrying the plight of "the poor."

  The difference I see is this: If Hillary or Obama are elected, I foresee confiscation of all gold held by the citizens, increased handouts to "the poor," and draconian taxes inflicted on "the evil rich" to pay for the handouts. I don't think McCain would confiscate gold, but I have no doubt whatsoever that Hillary and Obama will "for the greater good." They are Communists; McCain is merely a Socialist.

  You might be right, but the answer to the question of 'who is more harmful to our society' is not so easily answered. Communists will have strong opposition, while a Socialist may seem more acceptable, as you seem to indicate in your post. Who would have thought that Clinton would have run a more fiscally conservative administration than Bush? But here we are.

  I will be voting against McCain. We might destroy ourselves with Socialism, but I will vote for that over spreading our disease over the whole planet. It seems easier to spread risks across the greatest number of individuals, but when that is done by government, often it is the innocent who suffer. Let us destroy ourselves, and ourselves only, if we are so inclined. I will be pulling the lever for a Communist in the fall.

• And not ONLY, are all of the presidential candidates intellectual, political, and ethical trash, except Ron Paul, they are ALL mere puppets of the CFR/NWO/Fed Reserve cabal that's run America since it's criminal unconstitutional takeover of our species money system that it then replaced with fiat known to fail in every historical instance of it's use.

  Joe Kennedy once said:

  "Fifty men run the country, and thats a high figure"

  That's who Ted dances so well for now.

  Except wouldn't you or I be going after them instead, on principle if nothing else, after two murdered brothers?

  Turn those fiat dollars into gold or silver and actually profit from the coming dollar collapse.

  Ben can't raise rates & can't contract supply - BOTH of which are necessary to support the dollar - o/w we have a dollar about to lose the last 3-4 cents of it's remaining purchasing power.

  These banker bastards have stolen the world's gold and replaced it w/irredeemable toilet paper which always fails.

  They'll be touting the new and also worthless Amero next as they point to the "success" of the Euro. Except ALL currencies are crap but gold and silver.

  Also is there a single one of us that would let the govt confiscate our legally acquired gold or silver w/o a fight? Being we know the "emergency" FDR used to do it before was merely the greed of his banking puppeteers?

  Not very likely this go 'round one would hope. Or are we even dumber than those who fell for FDR's ruse to rob our gold?

• mcain came of age politically, like most of our politicians, in the 1980-200 era when there weren't really any problems. emphasis was put on personality and likeability, rather than substance. he's a dinosaur, unfortunately not a harmless one.
