Weird when oil surge should be a good thing.

Dow Climbs to Highest Since July, Oil Surges on Manufacturing - Businessweek

Actually it is. My guess is that the market is seeing that conservatives are going to be increasing their influence (it's happening here and in many places in Europe) and that's a lot of what's driving this. Kind of like how when the ascendence of liberals contributed to the economic downturn, only in reverse.

The underlying science behind such statements being
1) Something good happens? Give conservatives credit!
2) Something bad happens? Blame liberals!

In 2010, the conservatives actually did win significant influence in Congress.
WHERE was that step-jump? (assuming your b.s. explanation holds water...)

Hey, my statement had just as much validity and science behind as the post I responded to. But oddly, the only one you addressed was mine...

Just in case you're wondering, YES, I did do this intentionally in order to elicit this very response. BOTH statements were based on gross assumptions, yet only ONE got taken to task.
