If we were a truly Christian nation there wouldn't be a single person allowed to live in poverty....
For some reason too many "Christian" Republicans in America take the Pharisee's side and concentrate on helping the moneychangers rather than the poor.
Funny, I see the moneychangers are the guys trying to redistribute some elses money. You know because its 'fair'.

Usually you can find the demographics of the polling sample. %Dem, %Rep, %Male/Female...But not in this case. I wonder why?

yep that explains why 90% of &lacks are polling for Obmama.

He is worried about something from the 60's when the world is trying to stop a financial meltdown.
No, I think he is worried about the lies Ohmama continues to tell about his relationship with Ayers. You know the lie, he kind of knows him and lives in the same neighborhood.

FACT: Obmamas first job out of Harvard was working with Ayers.
FACT: Ohmamas political career was launched at Ayers home.

Why does Ohbama continue to talk around his relationship with Ayers?

And the Annenbergs gave Bill Ayers $50 Million dollars.
Norm you are one uninformed idiot. Please show a link where Ayers was given 50 million dollars.

Too funny. Ohmama gets his first job out of Harvard running this guys foundation. But Ohmama doesn't really know him. Ohmama holds his political coming out party at this guys house. But he does it really know him and he just lives in the neighborhood.

Arguments that only idiot Libruls would try and justify.

Oh yeah. This guy set bombs that went off in the capital and pentagon. Why would Ohmama take a job working for him? I suspect Ohmama had his choice of jobs after graduating from Harvard law. Bad judgment? Or the real Ohmama?

Democracy requires the consent of the governed.
And thats why ACORN turned in a voter registration for Mickey Mouse and voter registrations for the roster of the Dallas Cowboys.

Go Libruls. Why weren't the founders of our country concerned with 'everyones right' to vote in a presidential election?

What is amazing, just like after the stock market crash of 1929, there will be voters lining up on election day to vote for Republicans. Some folks are incapable of learning.

What is Ohmama's plan? Haven't heard it yet. Just more blaming McCain.

Sorry for posting this its probably way over a librul's head.

Was the meeting going to happen in one of Obama's 57 states?

Obama graduated from Harvard magna cum laude, imbecile.
So why does he think there are 57 states in the US?

Why did he want the UN security council to issue a resolution against Russia's invasion of Georgia?

His sheep skin is a nice wall decoration.

Where are his test scores for admission into Harvard? We saw Bush's and Kerry's scores.

I'm an electrical engineer and I'm pretty damned smart but I couldn't touch this level of brainiacism.

Durrr, let me see, which set is smarter.

When will Ohmama release his test scores for admission into Harvard?

McCain has been senator over 15 years.
By your reasoning, thats means your a dumbass compared to him.

Palin is one of only 50 goveners.
By your reasoning, thats means your a dumbass
compared to her.

Looks like your a dumbass.

No one forced Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to make bad loans.
You should research the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Wipe your nose. Then post your correction.

Jesus was a community organizer... and now such an activity us frowned upon.
Really? Can you provide references for this?

yeah cuz us dumb libruls are against red lining unlike geniuses like MIDTOWNCOWBOY who appreciated a little red lining to protect his lilly white neighborhood.
Oh wow, Dunni figured it out.

Hows the market doing dunni? Damn Bush. This is his fault for forcing banks to make all of those non qualifing loans.

Librul are either young, idealistic children who like to cluster in groups and be taken care of. Or they are old idiots that don't know any better and want to be taken care of. Or they are just idiots who want to be taken care of.

Which are you Dunni?

Funny to listen to the genius's on this site rip Palin for being stupid. Have any of the lib xperts on this site have been elected to anything. Most of the lib genius's couldn't get elected to their PTA's.

But they could be 'community organizers' and give seminars to Acorn losers on how to protest banks that 'red line'.

That he married into money has been posted here so many times that I'm not sure how anyone wouldn't know that.
I don't remember 'marrying' into money being an issue when John f'in Kerry was your boy.

I believe the homeless should have the same right to vote as everyone else. I'm amazed any American would think otherwise.
Yeah, especially those guys that wrote the constitution and bill of rights. What were they thinking? How could they have beleived no one had a "right" to vote in a presidential election. They must have been repulitards.

(The Politico) The ACORN issue is off the table.

After several days of rage from conservative activists regarding a provision in the bailout bill that would send some of the profits from the sale of distressed assets the goverment buys into an affordable housing trust fund, congressional negotiators have removed section 105(d) of the bailout proposal, according to aides on both side.

ACORN, a Democratic ally, was not specifically directed any funds in the previous proposal, but money that went to state and local governments could then have been divvied out to the organization, which the GOP said was a deal breaker. Fevered opposition to the provision had become a viral sensation.

It appears that, with the removal of the affordable housing trust fund, all of the proceeds from the sale of assets will now go to retire the debt.

The revised version of the bill drops the housing trust fund, a source of possible abuse, and includes insurance against taxpayer losses making it look to be a significantly stronger plan than the first version announced last week before House Republicans had signed on.

I have yet to see anything convincing to suggest either Bush "election" had any validity whatsoever.
Stupid as shit assessment flag II.

Bin Forgotten has long stated his goal was to destroy the US by making it squander its resources in a war that would be long and drawn out and unwinnable.
Stupid as shit assessment flag.

NO!!!! You are wrong!!!!!!! If we charged a point more for that loan then things would be okay!!!
Danni continues to miss the point. The reason housing prices were becoming so inflated was artificial demand being created by 'non qualifing' loans. This was a self fulfilling cycle. As the requirements were loosened, more people with no credit or terrible credit history were in the market which inflated the housing prices, which over a period of time made it impossible for those people to make the payments. So the defaults started, which created more inventory and drove the prices down.

If there were loan standards established - i.e., regulations on who banks could actuall lend to - would we be in this mess?

See the congressional record in 2003, 2005. See Bush 2005 state of the union address.

Many attempts were made to regulate the GSE's. Why did Frank and Dodd stonewall all attempts?

What do Raines and Clinton have to do with this mess?
Raines was Clintons budget director and head of the GSE for several years. During his tenure, accounting problems surfaced(aka fraud). He walked away with about 40 million. Gorlick whose policies at Justice under Clinton were primarily responsible for 9/11, took about 16 million for a couple of years of work. No one knows what she did, other than receiving a payoff for silence on 9/11.

Raines was part of the Obmama team until this mess hit. Suddenly he was not.

This is a much bigger mess than Enron. Many of the heads at Enron were prosecuted for cooking the books.

Why havent' Raines, Gorlick and the others that were running the GSE's during the accounting scandals and those in congress who covered up the issues be prosecuted?

Hillbilly the low interest rates are the cause of this mess. People bought homes based on the size of the payments not realizing how much their payments would rise when interest rates rose. That created the housing bubble which caused this mess.

Danni, you are wrong in you assesment. Loans from the GSE requirment zero documentation were given to people with terrible credit histories. Right now interest rates are about 6%. No one in their right mind would claim 6% is a 'high interest rate'.

I don't fault those that were too ignorant to know better than to purchase based on payment size as you said. I fault those in the congress and at the GSE's and Countrywide for allowing it to happen. They were formally warned since 2005 and Frank and Dodd would not allow REP to get near the GSEs. This is Frank and Dodds baby, and now they want to blame everyone but themselves.

Harry Reid said 3 days ago many democrats won't support the bill unless McCain signs off on it.

Then Reid said he(McCain) needs to tell us what to do.

Next, Harry said they don't need McCain in this today(Wed).
Which is it Harry?

While John McCain was busy meeting with top republicans on what they wanted included in the bill.

Chris Dodd and Barney Franks and fellow dems along with a few low level republicans met this morning (some freshman included) later said we have a fundamental agreement that should pass in the next few days, failing to mention senior republicans weren't even briefed.
This is shocking partisan politics given the current crisis. There never was a deal. Today both Dodd and Franks were quick to add that having the presidential candidates present basically destroyed there progress.
Meanwhile the Obama camp was accusing McCain of Political grandstanding. Politics before country.

Both Frank and Dodd are simply trying to deflect critism from themselves because their pet project has blown up in their face and threatens to send the nations economy into a depression. Both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have been run by DEMS over the last 20 years. But the majority of the damage began in 2006 when looser requirements were put in place in order to receive a loan. Once Frank and Dobb regained control, it went down hill fast.

But Paine, Gorlick and other big DEMS from the Clinton admin got about 60 million before they left the sinking ship...
