Fox Caption: Stocks perform 200% better if Bush Re-elected
LOL. They kept in on the screen for several minutes. Just happened to flip channels and come across the dorky guy with the 1950's 9-year old haircut.

The clairvoyant channel..

1. That's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!
The stock market always does better under Dems--it always has--yet people still think Repukes do better on economic issues.

3. Why shouldn't they. Corporate profit margins should go way up when
all the jobs are exported and corporations no longer have to pay living wages or benefits. The rich will eventually buy all the stock. Of course, there won't be anyone to purchase their stuff anymore in the near future, what then?

4. Y'know the Marxists used to call that
the "falling rate of profit."

But they were just crazy, as we all know...:eyes:

6. right, stocks under bush
stocks under bush will be performing 200% better than stocks under bush.

that means they are desperately hoping to get stocks back to where they were under clinton.

they were the master of "talk 'em down", now they are trying t be the master of "talk 'em up".

7. I think a large portion of Fox viewers haven't any money to buy stocks
anyway so why should they care? The only thing they may have even close to stocks is their 401Ks and let's just ask them how those have done under Bush*.

"Re-electing Bush will make your hair grow back, keep lime deposits from your shower, and save you from pain and suffering of inflamed hemorhoidal tissues, and fits neatly into ANY tacklebox. Now how much would you pay?":eyes:

11. Dangerous satement...
No one every should make a froward looking statement on the stockmarket. Ever. Faux news included. Past performance is no gaurentee of future returns.

Guardian UK: Simpsons parody upset Fox News, says Groening

<snip>
The episode of the Simpsons in question showed a rolling news ticker at the bottom of the screen, which read:

Pointless news crawls up 37 per cent...

Do Democrats cause cancer? Find out at foxnews.com...

Rupert Murdoch: Terrific dancer...

Dow down 5,000 points...

Study: 92 per cent of Democrats are gay...

JFK posthumously joins Republican Party...

Oil slicks found to keep seals young, supple...

</snip>
