Good boy, Jay. You are doing your job as a partisan hack and are deflecting any and all blame away from your party.

If you (and the rest of the intellectually dishonest partisan pundits) really cared about solving the problem, you would ascribe the blame across partisan lines. Unfortunately, you don’t care about solving problems at all. You just want to be a petty partisan. Congrats. You are doing a bang up job.

And McClatchy’s Washington bureau dispels the notion that the Community Reinvestment Act had any major role whatsoever in the subprime crisis. Its key findings: “Subprime lending offered high-cost loans to the weakest borrowers during the housing boom that lasted from 2001 to 2007. Subprime lending was at its height from 2004 to 2006.

Oh, I get it, so one day a single cancer cell starts to grow, the very next day it kills it’s victim.

It’s getting so easy to lie, ain’t kookman?:

Private firms made nearly 83 percent of the subprime loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers that year.

Yeah, and then they turned right around and sold them to the government, via Fannie Mac, just another CRA with a different acronym.

OK.BOOKMAN, MAN OF THE MINUTE, WHERE IS THE WRITEUP OF JOHN LEWIS WHO JUST REPUDIATED HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH JOHN McCAIN,A MAN HE HAD PRAISED IN HIS BOOK?

Now Lewis claims that McCain reminds him of George Wallace. What has happened to ethics, character and decency? Just toss it away if it does not suit the moment?

Lewis had already switched loyalties on Hillary. Now he turns on McCain.

Next we will hear that some people just don’t understand. Oh, we understand. ANYTHING GOES if you feel like it.

And…Bookman, I am sure all those banks and financial centers WANTED to set up subprine loans they KNEW could not be paid by the people that acquired them. And all those foreclosrures had little or nothing to do with the current financial failings.

The New Party believes that the social, economic, and political progress of the United States requires a democratic revolution in America-the return of power to the people. To promote a rebirth of freedom, equality and prosperity, we dedicate ourselves to the following: A reduction of national military spending to that necessary to the defense of the United States and an end to unilateral military interventions.

Dusty, the banks were not worried because they knew the loans would be bundled, they’d make a nice profit, and Fannie and Freddy and the mega investors would take over with the hassles.

Maybe Lewis was saying that McCain resembles Geo Wallace? Or mahybe that McCain was reinventing himself like Wallace did? Or maybe Lewis is just a flip flopper. They come in all colors, shapes, ages, sizes, and political parties. Equal opportunity for idiots.

Why would rational people think otherwise?

I have yet to see someone who has lost their home on the red carpet. How many in mortgage foreclosure are shopping for cruise wear? The news has yet to feature a family whose life savings has been trickle-downed right out of their 401k’s reserving their condo at Snow Mass or hopping down to Guatemala for the holidays.

What is it that these last wingers care about more than the American people?

Obama began seeking the New Party endorsement in 1995. He had been running in a four way primary against his former boss, Senator Alice Palmer, herself a far left radical, and two other individuals. But an election law quirk gave Obama the upper hand. In order to get on the ballot, candidates had to collect signatures of voters. Printed names were not allowed. Obama challenged the petitions of his rivals and was able to get every one of them thrown off the ballot. By the time the ballot was drawn up for the 1996 election, Obama’s was the only name in the race.

Nonetheless, Obama still coveted the New Party endorsement. The New Party required candidates who received the endorsement sign a pledge of support for the party. Obama did not need to support a party that was, in effect, a front group for communists; yet he still chose to. The July issue of the New Ground noted that 15% of the New Party consisted of Democratic Socialists of America members and a good number of Committee of Correspondence members.

I just saw this clip on CNN and though I’m not surprised at how much ethnic and racial bigotry still remains in America, it is a bit flabbergasting.

At a town-hall event Friday in Minnesota, McCain took the microphone from a woman who said “I don’t trust Obama. I have read about him and he’s an Arab.” McCain said, “No, ma’am,” and told the woman Obama is “a decent family man” and a “citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.”

McCain drew boos at the same event when he told a supporter who expressed fear at the prospect of Obama’s election that the Democrat is a “person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.”

I suppose the poor doltish woman just said what many in the base have been thinking…

Ignorance and fear-mongering. A big reason why the GOP is looking at consecutive electoral humiliations…

George W. Bush will go down in history as the “Three Trillion Dollar Man” and the Mao of Corporate Socialism: He wasted a trillion taxpayer dollars on the needless Iraqi War to bail out Dick Cheney’s KBR and drive up oil prices and the profits of crony Big Oil to obscene levels, he borrowed a trillion dollars from Red China to underwrite the 8 years of tax breaks to the wealthy they did not need in time of war, and now, with the help of his former investment banker Treasury Secretary Paulson, a fox in charge of the hen house, he’ll waste another trillion taxpayer dollars bailing out the unregulated and fraudulent greed of Wall Street that Bush and Paulson should have seen and prevented long ago.

Bush and the Republican controlled Congress blessed and protected the avaricious selfishness of mortgage brokers and real estate brokers and investment bankers who, through deceit and superior knowledge, knowingly made these bad home loans that now plague our nation’s economy and credit system.

John McCain supported Bush at least 90% of the time. Now that McCain is the Republican nominee he even supports continued tax breaks to the wealthy. John McCain will be more of the same.

Carried over from the previous “The horror that lies within”.

catlady, well said!

I refer to the cracker factor and the GOP’s Southern Strategy when I describe events like that one recently where a deranged “conservative” shot up a children’s play at a church he deemed too “liberal”.

Senator Obama should be concerned about his safety. I believe that he deserves much respect, even if one doesn’t like his stand on any issue.

And like you, I believe John McCain is a great American. And I only wish him a long and contented life. And it sure looks like he’s well on his way.

I belong to a veterans group and I sometimes share their info here. Usually stuff about up and coming veterans running for office. And pending and current legislation regarding veteran issues.

It has been a bit surprising that Sen. McCain has not put his money where his mouth was on some of those. These things are very complex and I don’t profess to know why a Legislator would vote the way he did on any single bill. But his image as the perfect friend of the military is not altogether true it would seem.

Some have pointed out how different the 2000 John McCain was from the 2008 version. When he said the following:.

Senator John McCain, in a provocative and politically risky speech, sharply criticized leaders of the religious right on Monday as “agents of intolerance” allied to his rival, Governor George W. Bush, and denounced what he said were the tactics of “division and slander.”

Specifically, Mr. McCain singled out the evangelists Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as “corrupting influences on religion and politics” and said parts of the religious right were divisive and even un-American.

So for many of us it has been difficult to figure him out. I believe that due to enormous pressures he cannot say those things again, but I do think he probably still feels that way.

And I said after that first debate earlier this year that he was the ONLY one of those ten men on that stage with any valor and worthy of my support. I think that his being a combat veteran was particularly important to me because I feel that our current CIC, the Hero of the Texas ANG, is the very antithesis of that quality.

But his VP choice was a HUGE factor in my decision regarding him. For several reasons - his age and the obvious proper concerns related to it, the fact that Dick Cheney just arrogantly tarnished the 2nd highest office in the land ala Spiro Agnew and the choice itself.

And at first I thought she was a pretty smart selection. I believe to have picked one of the Bush neo-cons (Romney. Thompson, Rudy ad nauseum) would have instantly cost him the White House.

But under closer inspection and IMHO Ms. Palin is fatally flawed with far too few assets. Selling “pro-life” nonsense to the “faithful” at this juncture is, in my estimation, the same as raising the white flag…

Ray, in my opinion, everyone of those young sailors and marines going up and down the Mekong River were heroes. At least in the sense that the word is overly used today. They risked their lives daily, and they went out on their dangerous missions with courage and a sense of duty.

But what I really want to tell you is to grow up and get a handle on that anger, man. You’ll live longer.

If Obama supporters are upset with the guilt-by-association paradigm, they’ve picked a funny way of showing it: holding John McCain and Sarah Palin accountable for every loose nut that shows up to bark a racial slur into a crowd of thousands. It is by now axiomatic on the Left that McCain is stoking racial and religious intolerance in a last ditch effort to save a spiraling campaign. The evidence for this? Two individuals who said hateful things in the audience of two campaign events

While McCain tries to point to real concerns about associates and partners in Obama’s past–dangerous men who have played indispensable roles in Obama’s political biography, the Left is on fire over two men McCain and Palin likely never met. Yet, they claim it is McCain’s desperation that finds him reaching so improbably for bogeymen in Obama’s history

We will not tolerate reckless practices that artificially drive up stock prices and eventually destroy the companies, and the pensions, and your jobs.”

That was George W. Bush in 2002. I knew they were just hollow words back then, when he was briefly championing “Corporate Responsibility”, because his family fortune was derived from corporate irresponsibility (insider trading and other shady business practices at Harken Energy).

So what, exactly, did Bush and administration officials do for those six years, to defend American workers and investors?

WASHINGTON — As the economy worsens and Election Day approaches, a conservative campaign that blames the global financial crisis on a government push to make housing more affordable to lower-class Americans has taken off on talk radio and e-mail.

Commentators say that’s what triggered the stock market meltdown and the freeze on credit. They’ve specifically targeted the mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which the federal government seized on Sept. 6, contending that lending to poor and minority Americans caused Fannie’s and Freddie’s financial problems.

Federal Reserve Board data show that:

-More than 84 percent of the subprime mortgages in 2006 were issued by private lending institutions.

-Private firms made nearly 83 percent of the subprime loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers that year.

-Only one of the top 25 subprime lenders in 2006 was directly subject to the housing law that’s being lambasted by conservative critics.

No way is McCain contrite. What a pathetic ploy. And that’s all it is, too. He’s merely acting to try to gain sympathy.

If he were contrite, he’d pull the disgusting attack ads he’s got going on TV everywhere, and yank that vicious guttersnipe Palin’s chain.

This whole thing reminds me of the story in Rolling Stone on him, in which they talked about how as a little kid he’d hold his breath to get his way until his parents threw him into a tub of cold water to make him breathe.

Still just a little brat in an old man’s body.

I still say that if I have the good sense not to purchase on an ARM, I can expect everyone to be equally as discerning. Don’t let your wants overrule good judgment.

Saw some interesting voters in Ohio on CNN tonight.

A McCain supporter who had lost her job at Archway and still plans to vote for McCain out of confidence in his ability to lead.

A former McCain supporter and staunch pro-life supporter who will forego McCain, is willing to sacrifice an unborn child by supporting OBlahMa in self-interest with little confidence that he can fix the economy, but HOPE in things yet to be seen. No hope in a child yet to be born, just OBlahMa.

Then there was a group of voters who said they couldn’t vote for OBlahMa after having seen the extremes to which Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would go in promoting racial division.

I guess Al and Jesse are OBlahMa’s cross to bear.

For how many decades have liberal elitists stood firmly in defense of Sharpton and Jackson? Looks like they may have contributed to OBlahMa’s problems.

Democratic surrogates giving speeches calling some Ohioans (democrats) racist. Now that’s the way to win friends and influence people.

One surrogate went so far as to say that certain regions (democratic) within Ohio were questionable because they lacked tolerance, weren’t progressive enough?

McCain, you said you respected the opinion of Rep. John Lewis.

Well then, listen to him and not your running mate and lackeys.

John Lewis would be the first to tell you that every racist in the South believed they were just in dominating black people. They believed that God was on their side. They believed that they were saving the nation.

The Republican party has fallen deeper and deeper into the trash heap. How can the Christian right continue to support this filth? The same way they did George Wallace when he stood in the doorway of the school.

McCain, you may think you are saving the nation and that your cause is just, but you are spreading racist hate.

Too bad you would sacrifice your status as a true American hero for the admiration of racism.

There WAS this one black guy at a McCain campaign who “begged”, his word not mine, Senator McCain to take it to OBlahMa on his radical associations. “Hit him in the soft underbelly” or something to that effect.

Was that black guy a racist?

which is telling really: that’s the only way he can get blacks to attend his rallies (other than SS agents)???

“It is absolutely vital that you take it to Obama, that you hit him where it hits, there’s a soft spot,” said James T. Harris, a local radio talk show host, who urged the Republican nominee to use Barack Obama’s controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., and others against him.

He’s calling for personal responsibility.

But you can also see what a difference it makes when people start caring for themselves. It makes a difference when a father realizes that responsibility does not end at conception; when he understands that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child but the courage to raise one. It makes a difference when a parent turns off the TV once in awhile, puts away the video games, and starts reading to their child, and getting involved in his education. It makes a difference when we realize that a child who shoots another child has a hole in his heart that no government can fill. That makes a difference.

Promote Responsible Fatherhood: Since 1960, the number of American children without fathers in their lives has quadrupled, from 6 million to more than 24 million. Children without fathers in their lives are 5 times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime, 9 times more likely to drop out of school, and 20 times more likely to end up in prison. Barack Obama has re-introduced the Responsible Fatherhood and Healthy Families Act to remove some of the government penalties on married families, crack down on men avoiding child support payments, and ensure that payments go to families instead of state bureaucracies. The legislation would also fund support services for fathers and their families, including domestic violence prevention efforts. As President, he will sign this bill into law and continue to implement innovative measures to strengthen families.

The Woman Greenspan, Rubin & Summers Silenced …..more than a decade ago, a woman you’re likely never to have heard of, Brooksley Born, head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission— a federal agency that regulates options and futures trading—was the oracle whose warnings about the dangerous boom in derivatives trading just might have averted the calamitous bust now engulfing the US and global markets. Instead she was met with scorn, condescension and outright anger by former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan, former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and his deputy Lawrence Summers. In fact, Greenspan, the man some affectionately called “The Oracle,” spent his political capital cheerleading these disastrous financial instruments…..In 1997, Brooksley Born warned in congressional testimony that unregulated trading in derivatives could “threaten our regulated markets or, indeed, our economy without any federal agency knowing about it.” Born called for greater transparency—disclosure of trades and reserves as a buffer against losses……….

This article resonates with me much more than blaming the CRA.
