11,722.98 - The Real Dow vs. The Fake Poll
May 10, 2006 | new yorker 77

Posted on 5/10/2006, 7:54:00 PM by new yorker 77

On January 14, 2000 the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all-time high at 11,722.98.

This is happening as the President's Job Approval hits boo-hoo panic levels.

These polls are a yawnfest of biblical proportions.

As we stand on the edge of an all-time high on the Dow, do yourself a favor?

Every time you hear a fake poll spewed or a disgustingly biased news item blasted over the airwaves, remember this.

Since when is winning wars, a roaring economy and two SCOTUS nominees with a 30 year mark on the bench an all-time low?

Is it an all-time low because the MSM and Democrats tell themselves so?

My response is 'bite me'. This is the pre-season.

They don't give out trophies for practice.

GOP voters will turn out in force in 2006.

With our troops fighting for our right to vote, it would be un-American not to vote and to allow Democrats to ruin the military.

Since I haven't met a conservative who is un-American, I expect all conservatives to vote in 2006.

To do otherwise would be un-American and make you worse than the worst liberal.

I think this is a pretty good vanity here!

Sigh. Soon the anti-immigration/anti-RINO cloud will settle over this thread...

Sometimes you just have to call something what it is. This Administration isn't perfect, but...show me one that was.

Good news dies a silent death if those to whom it's attributed fail to capitalize.

It's a fairly sorry frog that won't croak in his own pond.

While I share some of their concerns, they start to sound like McKinney or Rangel who loves to say, "everything is racial issue!"

Good one! I agree! The nation is in great shape and we're fighting to protect ourselves and preserve our way of life. Nothing wrong with that!

You are right. Everyone should go back and read "The Way The World Works" by Jude Wanniski, the father of supply-side economics. He described the U.S. stock market as "the global electorate." Every day is an election about the future of the U.S.

Numerous studies also show that the incumbent party never loses an election when the GDP is growing and the stock market is rising.

Not even the Reagan Administration was that. Iran-Contra was a real mess at about this point in his second term. Someone I thought was perfect would be considered revoluntionary, 'cause he would call out journalism for the special interest that it is. And you know how that would go over with them.

Frankly, the conservatives who want to vote 3rd party or sit at home should do just that. We don't need them and we don't want them. The democrats would be better off without howard dean and for the same reason, we are better off without the single issue fruitcakes.

When I go to a dcchapter event, I hear many many good conservatives and freepers say, "I don't post on the website anymore, it used to be good but not anymore".

I want to get rid of our fruitcakes and bring the others back.

I share your view -- hate isn't a big seller, no matter how much the drive by media likes to make it so. Saying your plan is we will hate Bush even more, is a nonstarter. The liberal Democrat party is a 20% affair on a good day.

BTW, didn't Kerry win the last election by 5 points? or was that some other election. The drive by media cannot be trusted. All you have to do is look at the numbers on the economy to see they can't. Read the write up on today's fed action and tell me why the fed is trying to hit the brakes as hard as they can -- after all, it's a recession, didn't you know it...

Most people are not paying attention.

Actually, the Dow is not yet where it was 6 years ago.

Is that a good thing?

I mean even with a lowly 5% annual increase, the Dow should be 30% higher than where it was 6 years ago.

More KoolAid?

Here, here! I'm tired of the boo-hoo whoa is me refrain! We are strong, I'm signed up to help Len Munsil with his campaign for Governor here in Arizona and I suggest everyone else who wants to make a difference help out at your local base as well. Candidates make the difference and there are plenty of good ones out there if we just don't sit on our hands and whine about what isn't going on that we want! Democrats are working overtime - we sure as heck had better!

"With our troops fighting for our right to vote, "


The troops are fighting for the Iraqis' right to vote. Our right to vote isn't and wasn't threatened by Saddam, Osama, or those jackasses in Al Quaida/Taliban. SCOTUS imminent domain ruling was a far greater attack on our freedom than anything those Islime threw at us.

"Actually, the Dow is not yet where it was 6 years ago."

It's nothing short of a miracle that the DJIA is approaching all time highs given the major shocks to the economy of 9/11/2001, the War on Terror, rise in oil prices, and the corporate malfeasance uncovered and prosecuted. Only a fool (not saying you are) would base investment strategy on the opinions and judgment of liberals and their concubines in the media. The financial returns of the last three years compare well with the best in my 45 years of investing precisely because I ignored the gloomy consensus of mass media sources pushing their political agenda.
