		<description>A call to arms for progressive bloggers!!!!

Liberals, please come to Speak Free Politics it’s an easy to use message board blog dominated by right wingers. My name there is osamabinforgotten. I need to recruit some lefty bloggers as i am being ganged up on and called a terrorist for being a liberal. All bloggers are invited to come there and check it out.

Johnny B. Goode!

Deep down in Arizona close to Mexico
Way back up in the cactuses where it never snows
There stood an ancient mansion made of gold and wood
Where lived a a corrupt politician named Johnny B Goode
Who’d never learned the difference between Sunni or Shia so well
But he could pretend to chase Osama to the gates of Hell

Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode!

He used to carry his bribe money in a gunnysack
Go sit beneath a tree and count his Keating kickbacks
Old lobbyist on K street would see him sittin’ in the shade
Laughing at the doubletalk and flip flops he made
The people passed him by they would stop and say
Oh my but that little old mummy really hates the gays

Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode!

Once upon time the state of Arizona couldn’t host a superbowl
Because it was legislated by a group of white supremacist trolls
The bigots were led by an angry fascist who was a goose-stepping man
A millionaire, senator who belonged to the Klu Klux Klan
Johnny B Goode was a maverick when it came to recognizing MLK
So the old cracker donned his klan robe and voted against a holiday

Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode!

His mother told him someday you will be an old man
And you will be the leader of a murderous criminal clan
Many people will be blown to bits from miles around
To see you launch the nukes and take us all down
Maybe some day you will make mushroom clouds so bright
Sayin’ “Johnny B Goode pushed the button tonight”

Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!
Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode!</description>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statement by Senator John McCain, May 25, 2006:

... I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole. &lt;/em&gt;

If the McCain campaign viewed this as a jewel in its treasure chest, Gov. Palin would&#039;ve been rehearsed on its wording so that she could bring it up on the spot.
A fourth-grader knew &quot;reform&quot; and economics would be major parts of the interview.

So -- either Gov. Palin isn&#039;t smart enough to remember the one example of McCain reform she was prepped on, or the McCain folks see his own statement as inconsequential.

Either way, she&#039;s a bad choice, and he&#039;s a bad choice.
Thank goodness, we do have a choice.

Sure Coprophageous THEN Wall Street ramped up the pressure and the Republicans in Congress who at the time had control of the comittee and a two member majority folded and didnt even BRING it to the floo. When reintroduced in 07 when the situation was much WORSE McDufus WAS NOT A CO-SPONSER. Is this really the best you have. McIdiot is CLEARLY part of the problem with his mania for deregulation and trying to pretend he wants to be part of the solution is laughable and desperate. Make some popcorn and watch McMoron sink like the lead balloon he is. Get ready for an Obama presidency. Luckily we will avoid another disasterous moron running the country</description>

Let us hope others will follow Ms. Couric&#039;s lead in refusing to accept non-answers from candidates to important questions during an interview.</description>

		<description>Statement by Senator John McCain, May 25, 2006:

Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae&#039;s regulator reported that the company&#039;s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were &quot;illusions deliberately and systematically created&quot; by the company&#039;s senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal.

The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight&#039;s report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives. In the case of Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae&#039;s former chief executive officer, OFHEO&#039;s report shows that over half of Mr. Raines&#039; compensation for the 6 years through 2003 was directly tied to meeting earnings targets. The report of financial misconduct at Fannie Mae echoes the deeply troubling $5 billion profit restatement at Freddie Mac.

The OFHEO report also states that Fannie Mae used its political power to lobby Congress in an effort to interfere with the regulator&#039;s examination of the company&#039;s accounting problems. This report comes some weeks after Freddie Mac paid a record $3.8 million fine in a settlement with the Federal Election Commission and restated lobbying disclosure reports from 2004 to 2005. These are entities that have demonstrated over and over again that they are deeply in need of reform.

For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac--known as Government-sponsored entities or GSEs--and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. OFHEO&#039;s report this week does nothing to ease these concerns. In fact, the report does quite the contrary. OFHEO&#039;s report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay.

I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole. 

I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.</description>

<p>I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole. </p>
<p>I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5248928', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Seriously, these Republicans, and NeoCon-Type &quot;Demublicans&quot;, are thinking, WE will have another attempt at scamming the American public, perhaps the last, as Rome was financially ransacked at the end. I can hear them thinking what a bunch of dummies the unwashed masses are to continually let this happen. I can sense there is another &quot;Tea Party&quot; coming up if it keeps up, especially if McNuts and Sorry Sarah get in.</description>

		<description>Does everyone remember that scene in Total Recall where Schwarzenegger was in that fake female suite and tried to go through the security gate? They asked questions the contraption wasn&#039;t designed to answer and it went berserk. 

Sounds familiar doesn&#039;t it?</description>
