Lets Talk Wall Street Politics

as ive mentioned before...ive been gone awhile. did i miss the discussion for or against the presidential candidates or are we limiting that discussion on wso? im just curious to know positions and justifications from a wall street perspective, which as we all know typically sides republican, especially in a year like this one. maybe thats too much to ask tho, i know these discussions can get bitter and nasty...and no one likes to be politically exposed. any way just wondering.

My thoughts...I am a fiscally conservative, social liberal...so ideally I should vote Republican right?

Well...no....and here is why:
1) The Republicans have not shown an inkling of fiscal responsibility over the last 8 years

2) The rise of the neocons has completely jeopardized foreign relationships

3) Social conservative brain-dead assholes have the Republican Party by its balls

4) I expect Obama to move to the center once in office

5) I will be DAMNED if I vote to put Sarah Palin anywhere near the White House

 

just priceless.

while ill admit it is extremely entertaining, can we hold the bashing in the hopes of getting a proud mccain/palin supporter to please outline the logical appeals of their ticket?
