Let me be the first to say WTF!?!

[kathy88]

HOLY SHIT.

THANK YOU to whoever took the time to put this together. Even some of the idiots I work with should be able to understand THAT.

I popped into a couple of other forums where liberals rule ... and MAN they have their damned drawers in knots over this one!

:D

Hate McCain, still won't vote for the SOB, but at least this gets some of the truth out there for the people to see with their own eyeballs.

Iraqi freedom war and its effects on global oil prices would be the most immediate cause.
Bush's extra-close connection to God didn't help matters either.

Wait. What?

Did any of you watch the entire 9:59 minutes? This is nothing more than an ad for mcwar/hockeymom.

Kudos to mcwar for pointing out that Fannie/Freddy had a problem. But I doubt very seriously that mcwar's interventionist regulations would have changed a whole heck of a lot beyond delaying the inevitable.

But if it was such a big issue to him (and as implied, king jorge) then why the hell didn't they keep on raising hell about it and doing something about it long before it came to this?

I agree that CRA exacerbated the problem and the vid did a good job explaining how that worked. And obomba & friends likely have some corruption problems; *yawn* who of these elite doesn't?

But it still completely ignores the root of the problem: The Fed and inflating the dollar.

And besides, it never mentions Ron Paul and all the raising hell he's done for years and years. :eek:

2 stars from me.

It doesn't MATTER if it is a campaign video for mccain....I have seen this all laid out in text documents as well that were NOT campaign pieces. The truth is the truth....the DEMOCRATS did this and it actually started in 1938 when FDR created FANNIE MAE as part of his socialist NEW DEAL. THIS nonsense is why I refuse to play a part in allowing the democrats to take the whitehouse. If Obama gets in, you can expect COMPLETE and TOTAL pandamonium with our economics as if it isn't already. In order for the FREE MARKET to work...you have to have MORALS in the whitehouse...it ain't happenin. McCain at LEAST tried to stop this crap in 2005. The republicans may make too many wars...but THEY are the free market capitalists...NOT the SOCIALIST democrats. If you allow OBAMA IN..expect MANY more regulations..and watch any hope of free market captialism be GONE with the wind! DAMN! TONES

PLEASSSSEEE for the moment, lose the utopian ideals...we must deal with reality here and NOW! If the democrats take the whitehouse..expect reparations and all kinds of other social programs...and MORE REGULATIONS ON THE MARKET! SMH..grrrrrr tones
