Where's the vote for; "this thread needs to die" ???
i voted mccain.. im in the army.. so .. i know we are doing good over there.
and .. a hussien sp' for president.. dont think so.
I'm still with McCain but not as enthusiastic. His convention speech hit the nail on the head, but how much can either candidate actually deliver? I like the checks and balances of McCain in the white house with a democratic congress, if you put an inexperienced liberal socialist in the white house with a history of voting only along party lines, especially with an economy on the brink of disaster, we're in a lot of trouble and it will take a generation to correct the problem.
Blaming Republicans for the current economic situation is like blaming society when you're arrested for armed robbery. Read up on what Obama has done as a community organizer, he was ground zero and working hard to get us into this mess. He did not show any foresight, judgment or common sense on this issue, and apparently had no idea what the consequences would be for mandating (through extortion) that private banks must issue cheap credit with no money down en masse to the utterly uncreditworthy. Now according to Obama it's the Bush/McCain administration that is responsible, Bush having spoken out 17 times, dating back to his first term, that these practices had to stop or we would have a meltdown. McCain lead the charge two years ago, and the democratic congress ignored their calls for reform to Fannie and Freddie. Read this article before you try to flame me on this statement:
O'S DANGEROUS PALS - New York Post
\"Obama's gonna win... The economy sucks and the repubs are being blamed because they were in power. I have high hopes for Obama!\"
The \"repub's\" are not in power. The Dem's control the House and Senate...
OK, so you have done all this research then I would assume you have some links handy to the actual legislation language forcing the banks to lend to bums sleeping on steam grates?
Please share it with us?
What I saw on the Daily Show, which is more credible IMO than Faux News or anything McCain says, and is at least funny, showed W saying how the legislation he signed back in 2002 or 2003 was going to be such a boom helping people with credit issues get home mortgages and live the American dream. So I suppose W caved to the all powerful LIBERALS in Congress, who were in the minority by the way!
You know it would be nice if people would stop blaming the poor for all of society's problems? I mean really, these people a totally powerless, and God forbid if you try to help them, you'll just ruin the country!
Look up the L-Curve depicting the grossly distorted distribution of wealth in this country, and see how most of us have more in common with the poor.
Seriously!
PS: I just read your referenced article and noticed one fact (otherthan the author is a neo-con) all the references were to 1995 or prior? So tell me why did'nt we have this disaster in the 90's? Why did it happen after Gramm-Leeche-Bliley and the move to less or unregulated institutions?
i hear ya man
Not sure if I am going to vote this election. I am not a fan of Palin at all.
