Well some would because he’s rich and he’ll share his money. Ha ha ha. Others will say he will make good decisions like those who are CEO’s and M&A investors. Others find a conservatives appeal to lower taxes and spend less means home education rules. But some astute investors believe it is folly to trust a politician who wants to spend less. Forget the breaks to Exxon and Caterpillar and Deere. Why would anyone who is in construction believe for a minute that less local, state and federal expenditures on highways and bridges and tunnels translates into more real estate development? Why would a farmer who depends on price fixing like the ideas of a conservative? So we have learned it comes down to moral suasion. I like pro choice and I abhor abortion are the only issues which counted when Reagan ran folly court. Bush was renowned for being an oil man and people bought into the appeal that somehow making more oil available through E&P would appeal to a bottom line man. None of the arguments for any of the candidates makes much sense when you see what they’re saying behind the smoke and mirrors. Obama appeals to some for his ability to explain and understand complex issues. To some that’s a negative. By golly a man a black man no less with a brain? That’s scary. Well Brooks maybe you’re just a bigot who couldn’t compete with him. Maybe that’s why Romney is scared that next thing u know Jews, Hispanics and blacks will ask for country club rights. OMG. Heathens. Isn’t it funny that someone who buys into a drunken leader’s word for salvation can also hold court over money classes? No it’s not funny in the least. It’s frightening to think how one more stupid fool could win an election and make things worse. There are only so many Jews you can blame and scapegoat on Wall Street before you have to admit that most of the corporations which own hedge funds are really run by Irish Catholics and WASPs. There are only so many Lehman’s that can fall before one of the white shoe candidates trips over himself on his way out to the bank.
