The only question in my mind, and the one which has haunted me throughout the past election season is: when it collapses, is it only his and the Democrat party that collapse, or does it take the rest of the country with him. For now, I think Art is correct: If you have the means invest in food and precious metals, especially lead. Instead it will be a precipitous and catastrophic collapse.

The precincts in my county are covered; so, instead, I signed up to volunteer for Michael Williams' campaign. You are correct - I should have said "our", but in frustration at what I saw as a condescending attack on me, I didn't. I know no one here voted for him and I didn't say they did. The reason I landed here was after being on the phone call a while back with Erickson "hosting" Pawlenty, Kasich, et al. I checked out this site that I had never heard of before. My friends and I are looking for like-minded. Sorry if rough edges show... ColdWarrior and I have already checked into precint committeeman in my county.

This is a conservative site and I would have thought you would have said "our" vs "your." I also am wondering why you are practically shouting at us for the results of the past election. As Jaded mentioned already, no one here voted for him. I can understand anger and frustration, but if you stay stuck there... We have a good member named ColdWarrior who will probably be around to tell you to get involved with the Republican Party by becoming a precinct captain and that way you can participate in choosing who our candidates are from the grassroots level. absolutely no good” interesting choice of words there.

Gold reached the level in late afternoon trade on the London Bullion Market, beating the previous record high of $1,032.70 an ounce struck in March, 2008. “Gold prices hit an all-time high as the dollar weakens,” said Barclays Capital precious metals analyst Suki Cooper. “The dollar weakness appears to be related to ... (reported) secret talks about oil being priced in a basket of currencies including gold rather than the dollar, which has added to concerns about the future role of the dollar in international financial markets.” The dollar’s future as the world’s top currency was thrown into doubt yesterday as a report said Arab states had launched secret moves with China and Russia to stop using the greenback for oil trading. Meanwhile, big oil producing nations denied a British newspaper report yesterday that Gulf states were in secret talks with Russia, China, Japan and France to replace the US dollar with a basket of currencies in trading oil.

At least for now the MSM is in the tank for him to an extent we've never seen - but there are subtle indications that may be crumbling. The key is probably the state of the economy over the next several months, which I think is going to continue to tank. IMO we're do for another banking/housing crisis before long. Last I looked 90+ default rates on home mortgages is about six times higher than it was a year ago and I'm expecting auto loans to go south when the cash-for-clunkers loans start to go south in big numbers. The second factor is Afghanistan and Iran. If they heat up, the mommy party could be in really deep doodoo. But BO holds a whole handful of cards that Carter didn’t.
