Right now the Dow Futures are down 119 points

[titaniumsalute]

That means if the Dow opened right now it would be down 119 points. Thanks Speaker Boner and Tea Party assholes.

Blame them. Loud and clear. When your Republican friends/family complain about their 401 K and other investments remind them who is hurting them.

2. 119 points in this manipulated market, especially after the run up last month may not be significant

However, your point that if the debt ceiling does not get raised or the entire market collapses, that I do agree with, it entirely lies on the shoulders of the repukes

However, unless the Democrats start throwing that out their loud and clear the MSM will misrepresent

Just look at the headlines today saying things to the effect that the republicans are going to submit their own plan, with the "implication", that they cannot work with the Democrats, which is an entire perversion of the truth

10. The Mighty Slime Machine Will Blame the Democrats, That is What They Do

The Tee Vee says it's all Obama's fault. So does about half of DU.

Seems like the "Party of NO" strategy is working perfectly for the repiggies.

8. Interesting analogy.

Maybe some of the gambling addicts in the stock market casino need to step away right now, especially if they don't know how to protect themselves from taking large losses.
