Ohh Thanks :)

Fannie and Freddie were what SHOWED the economic crisis, not what STARTED it. Because when you think the morgage crisis sarked the economic crisis, you’ll keep thinking that trickle down economics will work.

***IF we learn one thing from this crisis, it better be that trickle down economics doesn’t work and neither does the free market.

Beat it, concern troll, no one here is buying your ignorance-laden post.

McCain knows who he is working for, it’s just a matter of putting the right spin on it so that it looks like he’s doing the middle class a favor.

You just have to remember that McCain has definited a comfortable living standard as $5 million.

McNumbnuts should be your name. You are a greedy, self centered little person who has not suffered the consequences of the GOP. I was in Vietnam at the same time McSame was. That does not give him some right to destroy our country no more than nitwits in your party thought John Kerry who was a war hero as well as anyone else deserved anything.

If you are some expert on Macro Economics you should realize that to fight endless wars, you must pay for them. If you read the paper or an occasional website you should realize that since Reagan the USA has been cutting taxes for the top 5% and forcing the burden of the wars they encourage and start to the middle class by borrowing from foriegn investors. The GOP self centered way has failed. If you don’t believe me, take a look at that 401K that you have been putting money into. You are not as well off as you were before Dubya Bush was appointed POTUS by the Supreme Court after KKKarl Rove stole the election in FL in 2000 via Katherine Harris.

People argue everyday on the news that there are no jobs in America and that unemployment is rising, well wake up tell people to get off their cans and go be a welcome person at Wal-mart or a cook at Mc Donald’s in the interim. I say this because I myself had to find work putting on roofs until something better can along, why because the American person will survive.

Now I see some of you calling McCain, McBush, McNumb Nut, or whatever but please answer me this do we not everyday take our WW2 Vets for fighting for freedom, even when they were drafted? This war is no different; yes I will agree that Iraq should have been handled a little better and ended quicker, but let’s not forget they promised those boys in Normandy and Bastogne they would be home before Christmas. When has Obama volunteered for this country he so dearly loves? McCain never volunteered for the Air Guard or anything less, he served as a Navy Pilot a fighter pilot I may add.

Change is good and there are things that should be changed but remember, sometimes life is like a game of Jenga, if you make a change at the wrong time the world could come crumbling down on top of you!

The Politico website loses a ton of money. They decided to release a paper copy, and they charge nothing for it. You figure it out. The goal is not to make a profit. It’s a paid propaganda tool of the Republican Party.

Notice how Politico just burst onto the scene, and their pundits get onto any show they choose? What other startup news website gets that kind of access and exposure?

The implication of the example in the article is obvious, (though not actually stated)–revising the terms of mortgages to prevent foreclosures, on Main Street, will result in economic stability and a reduction of losses. The “Wall St Bailout’ does nothing for the mortgage crisis and as a knock-on does nothing for the current credit freeze, as we appear to be seeing right now.

Maybe we should really be talkin’ about the interests that these folks represent instead of the morons that stand in front of the cameras or the mighty Wurlitzer that dutifully converts these lies into “common knowledge.”

Just an idea…

Right wing media is on overdrive trying to blame the current financial situation on Fannie, Freddie and CRA. McClatchy does a good job of refuting it, but of course they are the liberal, “reality-based” media so the dittoheads won’t read it anyway. I keep reading comments from reputable journalists and political observers that Neoconservatism is dead. It sure doesn’t feel that way to me. If anything, it’s even more virulent than ever–even if the number of brainwashed adherents has decreased slightly. We are a frighteningly divided country right now. I don’t know how bad things will have to get for the blinders of fear and hatred to come off. If we swirl down into the morass it looks like we’re headed for, Hannity, Limbaugh, et al will have a lot to answer for.

BTW, I saw this on C&L today (from the Saddleback Church)

WARREN: The first question, who are the three wisest people that you know that you would rely on heavily in an administration?

MCCAIN: I think John Lewis. John Lewis was at the Edmund Pettis Bridge, had his skull fractured, continued to serve, continues to have the most optimistic outlook about America. He can teach us all a lot about the meaning of courage and commitment to causes greater than our self- interest.
Was McCain pandering a few weeks ago? Or does he really believe Lewis is very wise? Today he condemns Lewis for being critical of the nasty, hateful tone of the McCain campaign.
