Dede Scozzafav, the Republican candidate for Congress is apparently smarter than the 11 county party chiefs who nominated her.  She realized that the Conservative Party’s Dan Hoffman was going to get far more votes that she was.  So, she suspended her campaign rather than possibly help the Democrat win in a district that hasn’t elected one since before the Civil War (in other words, since there was a Republican Party).

Dede Scozzafav got the message that conservatives will no longer vote for a liberal Republican as the lesser of two evils.  Will the national Republican leadership get the message?

If the benefits for the new health care bill won’t take effect until after the next presidential election, why do they only give us 72 hours to review the bill before the vote?

What are they trying to hide?

Who is Jeffrey R. Immelt?

He is the head of GE (General Electric) which took TARP funds.  Why isn’t his salary being cut by the pay czar?

Could it be because GE owns NBC and MSNBC and they support all of President Obama’s policies?  That couldn’t be true, because that would be corruption and the Democrats campaigned on ending “the culture of corruption in Washington.”

Does the Obama Administration think we are stupid?

More importantly, are the other news organization stupid enough to take the Obama Administration’s advice not to treat Fox News like a real news organization and to not pay any attention to their stories.  Are they stupid enough to let the government decide who is a reporter or who is a news organization?

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 10,000 today.  Why?

Has the economy gotten better?

Are companies suddenly more productive?

Or could it be that the value of the dollar has gone down so much that prices have gone up?

Several countries have talked about moving away from the dollar as the world’s standard currency.  The only problem with countries doing that is those who want to move away from the dollar have lots of them.  So, how can they move away from the dollar as the standard without being left holding lots of dollars that have suddenly lost value?  Simple, spend those dollars before they lose their value.

How can you spend lots of dollars?  Invest in the stock market. Of course, that would drive the prices up, but at least they would have something of value (our companies).

I hope I am wrong.
